Sexist, pretentious and thoroughly underwhelming slop.

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2018)

This movie will be loved by gay men and fans of patriarchal intellectualism, the lead character is arrogant, narcissistic and shallow to the core, as indeed are many of the other male characters, the love of the male seems to be the main thrust of the film, while female characters are dismissed generally as pathetic male worshipping puppies, in one scene the men are talking about the opportunity for Timothee Chalamets character to have sex with a your female, and of course he could have her whenever he wanted, though when an enquiry from the mother about the discussion she overhears but who is not present at the table but engaged in gardening, and not involved in the conversation, she is summarily dismissed by the male party when they change the subject, as if a mother in such a free spirited community would be somehow be shocked by the thought of her son engaging in a sexual relationship, as a man I found this whole scene quite demeaning to women, as was the general attitude to female roles in the movie, without one single strong female character throughout.
I found the whole film shallow and its presentation of male intellectualism and demigod worshipping by even shallower female characters unbelievably sexist and demeaning, I'm amazed that this is presented as a love story, the lead character, rather than a bohemian, intellectual, romantic, is just a self absorbed, narcissistic waster in love with his own self importance, there's nothing to love about him at all.
I cannot find anything to recommend this completely wasted opportunity. its shallow and sexist and, like its lead character, in love with its own self importance, with a subliminal message to women that you are only there to worship the men and do the chores, woeful.
