An Ethan Coen movie and I am a big fan of his earlier work with the Coen Brothers, but I never much liked their farcical comedies and this is yet another one out of that silly comedy genre...
The bad: it's not funny. I did not laugh once. THAT matters (to me), because supposedly this is a "comedy". But humour is quite personal, so perhaps others will be roaring with laughter?
More bad: It's not thrilling WHATSOEVER. Not for one eenie minie minute is it thrilling. THAT I can guarantee you without a doubf!
This looks more like a cheaply produced television or streaming movie than a real feature movie. It lasts only 1 hour and 17 minutes and still I got bored. (A leftover from the Corona era?)
What is it then? It's a (failed) silly "comedy". Without ANY true to life characters (AT ALL). Even in a farce like this the characters have to be sympathetic or at least have something going for them that one can relate to, but none of that. Such a pity...
I am really a big fan of actress Margaret Qualley. She absolutely shined in several other movies lately, but her performance in this movie is just too plain SILLY, SO much so that her SILLY performance really (!) irritated me from the very start. That's no good...
Perhaps only suited for the fans of the earlier (much better) farcical Coen Brother comedies (Brother where art thou for example)? BUT BEWARE: this is nowhere near as good, so you have been warned !!! (3 exlamation marks)
