Just because it's realistic doesn't make it worth watching..

Rating: 4/10 (30 January 2020)

I have probably seen close to 500 films if not more. All sorts, great films, trash, indies, blockbusters, foreign, kids films what ever..
This is one of the worse. 40 mins in and it felt like 2 hours.. it's basically what happens when something that should stay in theatre makes it to the cinema, the only other film I can say the same for is 'Fences' in which again, literally nothing happens...
Obviously both the leads can act very well. But just because it is relatable or realistic does not mean it should be hailed as 'outstanding' and just because it's emotionally charged doesn't make it deep and meaningful.
Without doubt one of the worst (proper films) I have ever had the displeasure of watching.
Can't help but think the parents of the director (who are both film critics) have has something to do with it's undeserved success.
