Disapointing

Rating: 3/10 (29 January 2019)

I've only given this film three stars because some of the individual contributions were good; not great, just good. Perhaps I have been too generous. However, here we have an Emperor's New Clothes of a film, whose makers seem to think that novelty trumps storytelling and evocation of emotion. Ok, so they use a fisheye - if that is the right term - lens. So what? Chris Brady's review below says more clearly than I can what else I thought. Timing isn't great for awards. I'm not sure a film that focuses on the use of female sexuality to gain power will go down too well these days with industry insiders. What puzzles me most about this film is just how anyone - with the exception of critics, who are paid to like things - could think it is a good film.
