Blanchett and Mara; their chemistry was so organic
6 June 2023
The creators didn't divulge deep into intricacies, nor were they obliged to, although I wish they had, but they kept it rather simple, and I believe that is precisely what was required. Especially considering the fact that the writing here didn't have much depth to begin with. That said, even in such tiring mundanity, we get to observe a blossoming rapport that sparkles with electrifying chemistry and much desired warmth.

Mara and Blanchett deserve full credit for their performances, which were sincere and convincing. They never seemed out of place; both of them carried and embodied the souls of their characters throughout the narrative. The bonding came across as organic, which I suppose contributed to its being meaningful and memorable.
