painful to watch

Rating: 1/10 (15 February 2020)

Why was this nominated?? This movie was genuinely annoying to watch. There was no plot really. Two people are going through a divorce. That was the whole story. There. No need to watch it now. On top of it, the loooooong drawn out scenes were so forced... there was just nothing there. All empty dialog. That one scene where they were fighting... just horrible. And then he cuts himself because clearly there wasn't enough drama so they tried to come up with just anything at all - the most random unrelated stuff - literally just absolutely anything at all that could possible add an ounce of drama to this movie because otherwise they knew people would just fall asleep in their seats. I mean... so pointless, and boring, and horrible. The acting of course is great but it just can't make up for the poor writing. I don't understand who greenlights those projects?? Who thought that this would be a good movie?! They surely must have known it would be bad after reading the script. I don't think anyone even read the script. They just heard that some big names were attached and that's all they cared about. Seriously... and on top of it - this was nominated for best picture? I mean... wow. Just wow. NOT OK!!!
