I saw it today and was very disappointed. It has such promise and the trailer and the poster is so good, but clearly the director/writer don't know what to do with their Frankenstein creation once they made it and it's all over the place. It's also boring, and really badly shot. Like the camera operator had never shot anything before and keeps on reframing because the original frame is rubbish. Performances are good - Adèle Haenel is great, but given so little to do. It's missing a whole chunk of its third act and I think they were scraping around the edit bins to find that 77 minutes. It's a 30 minute one off stretched to breaking point. For a comedy I got one laugh out of it. And the snow keeps coming and going, comic and going. Yawn. Great idea - terrible execution. 1/10 plus 1 because the camera they use in it is the exact same camera as my first digital camera 20+ years ago. 2/10.
