Review of Only

If Only...

Warning: Spoilers
The concept was intriguing, and I thought I would enjoy this film. I literally picked up my phone and started reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets about 30 minutes into this movie, without even realizing I had done it. The description said it was a Sci-Fi thriller. There was nothing thrilling and very little Sci-Fi about it. If you want a movie that uses flashbacks and almost no dialogue to tell a story about an ungrateful woman throwing away all of the devotion and hard work her boyfriend put into keeping her alive, this is your movie. When you have hair down the middle of your back, makeup on your face, well groomed eyebrows and eyelashes that have been meticulously separated, maybe don't go in public knowing that women are being hunted and sold. If you know the air contains a virus that will definitely kill you, maybe don't run outside and take a deep breath. Having been almost completely housebound since the beginning of March, I understand the feeling of wanting out; however, I also understand the need for safety and keeping my loved ones from getting sick. He made all the sacrifices in this movie. She acts like a child the second things get complicated.

TLDR: If you want a Sci-Fi thriller, this isn't what you're looking for.
