Easy to Admire but difficult to Love

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2019)

The best thing this movie has going for it are its performances. Olivia Coleman and Rachel Weisz knock it out of the park, but the real standout here is Emma Stone. She is one of the best actors in Hollywood, and this movie further cements that fact. Also, the costumes and setting make this movie great to look at even though it has a unnecessarily awkward visual style(Yorgos Lanthimos is no Tom Hooper).
With that being said, the thing that keeps me from loving this film is the plot. It has some interesting conflict, definitely towards the end but for the most part it drags. This was an interesting movie to watch, but I don't see myself revisiting it.
