Sometimes okay is okay
22 January 2022
Some movies are just about okay but somehow still good enough and this is one of them. I didn't think I was going to like this when I read the synopsis but it was better than I expected. For the most part everything was kept simple,it doesn't need you to concentrate and notice all the details despite A and Rhiannon's complex relationship. All the actors and actresses playing A were surprisingly consistent and you didn't have to wonder whether or not it was A. I didn't really feel emotionally attached to the movie through most of it, I just kept watching it to finish it but A's little "breakup speech" towards the end really captured me, it felt real and inevitable; before she told him to stop talking he really looked like he could have kept going on and on. The hopeless romantic in me wished they still tried to work it out and that's how I thought it was gonna go so I was surprised at how crushed I felt because I didn't realize I was invested in the movie up to that point.

I didn't want to write anything about this because I thought it was mediocre and forgettable but I want something to remind me that a film doesn't have to be best or close to it for me to enjoy it. It's just an okay movie and that's okay.
