And I am not quoting Triple H here (if you know anything about Wrestling and WWE, you'll get the reference) ... so no pun intended for obvious reasons this time around then. And talking about this time around ... I really like The Stylist (not seen the short movie, but the feature length debut of the director) ... so I reckon I might have had some high expectations for this one.
Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. Now the basic idea sounds more than nice. But I do think the script could have used a bit more work. And checking on imdb and not wanting to imply anything: the director didn't write this script, but did someone elses script ... might have been better if she had worked over it a bit.
And then there is the issue that the actors are unable to save this from itself (again no pun intended). The core idea is strong enough to hold the thing together ... and one could argue that the end might be a ... life saver ... but I will not make that ... call (yes more puns).
If you don't mind the annoying nature and the script making the characters seem like goldfish (as in forgetting their previous emotion and either repeating it or making a very strange 180) .. and not in a good way. Having said all that, there is quality here, you just have to embrace the things most will ... observe as flaws.
We know the director is able to make something meaningful and thrilling ... so I am here for her next movie too. And I will try to check some of her short movies, because they seem to be good too (also mostly written by her) ...
