Everything about this has gone wrong

Rating: 3/10 (11 August 2019)

The writing is done with no heart to the story, and has been done in a lazy manner.
The framing of the camera is all wrong, where it gets claustrophobic when framing the emotionless close-ups of the main characters.
This film perceives the audience as hopeless romantics that easily forgives the above mentioned for a pocket deep romantic story.
The ending was done in such a sloppy manner it just unwatchable.
Even Paul G couldn't fake it, and he's such a brilliant actor.
That's another thing about this film. The abilities of the main cast have not been fully applied by the director. Also, the theme of the mad, tyrannic prince could have been pursued more, but instead we were given a caricature of one.
So much potential as a whole, but done so poorly. That's bad directing.
The film receives three stars for these reasons alone:
The production design, the costume design... and it was released to theaters and not as a direct-to-DVD-film. That's always something.
