sapphic spice, but the story's a mess
Hate to say it but this one was a total letdown. The cast is stacked and the vibes could have been amazing, but the story just went in too many directions instead of owning one lane. Chris evans as a slimeball pastor had me cracking up, charlie day kept giving me sunny conspiracy board flashbacks (probably just me lol), and honestly both aubrey plaza and margaret qualley were made for their hot, classy, sultry detective/cop roles. They completely delivered - it was the storyline, not the characters, that didn't add up. And look, while the coen brothers' breakup has blessed us with some spectacular sapphic scenes (hi, aubrey and margaret being absurdly hot together), it's also proof that his wife's touch might bring the spice but the boys really do their best work as a band of brothers. The whole thing ended up feeling messy and dragged way too long. BUT i'd still happily pay again just to rewatch that aubrey x margaret market scene because wow... chef's kiss, dangerously hot.
