Like other reviewers have said, it started off so well but the last third I felt lost steam. I really enjoyed seeing Martin Freeman playing a completely different genre though. I haven't seen him play an American role before and I really enjoyed his performance.
I think it would've been a better film if the focus had just been on the relationship rather than adding the revenge saga. I felt like it didn't match Jenna Ortega's character. It's a theme that's been done so many times and this film didn't do a particularly good job of it. It just felt very confused and flat at the end for me.
That said I really liked the acting and the "gothic vibe" through the film. The storyline just became very muddled and overly "artsy" and daft toward the end.
