5/10
It's entertaining as much as it is disappointing
23 February 2024
I guess I can say that I wasn't bored the entire film, but I was entertained for the wrong reasons. This film has some personality going for it, which is a good thing, I love the transitions, editing & psychadelic 70's influenced edits intertwined in this film adding a lot of style & pazzas.

I will say though this film has a little too much style & not enough focus on getting into the grit of what this film was trying to achieve. It wants to be an over the top spoof, a thriller a drama & a lesbian self discovery sex story, it is just all over the place & when it comes to crucial information that the film should be spent building upon on those moments more... the film transitions to these 70's pshycadelic transitions, which again, I do love, but it took a chunk of the run-time for this film, and after the film ended you realize it was completely unneeded.

The acting is great, the directing is fantastic, editing is fine, sound transitions & visuals have a unique flair, the entertainment factor lies within those things, and slight over the top executions make you wonder what the hell is going on, rather than caring about what's going on, and that's where this film lies, by the time you're revealed what's in the brief case you realize this film the entire time is just an over the top joke.

I'm not against spoofs, Bottoms was one of my favorite films & it's a good comparison especially with the lesbian characters & spoof execution... it's just this film had no clear vision or balance for anything.
