Review by isaacochoterena

In this film the emotional moments are overshadowed by a fun atmosphere.

In the moments that there is an emotional break, the fun atmosphere that there is makes it impossible to take these emotional moments seriously, you cannot take seriously that the characters are suffering and that they seem to be having a horrible time. It doesn't seem like there's a conflict to resolve, but there's a character development that reflect what they're looking for it's not what will really make them happy. I didn't like the ending as I don't find it satisfying to keep seeing the main character suffer, the atmosphere she's in isn't the best, either as it seems like we should be laughing instead of feeling bad for her. This is mainly due to the direction and the peculiar music that it uses, I feel that the comedy overshadows the drama and the human feelings that the characters have. The film also shows us how we are constantly looking for someone else who completely us, even if later it destroys us emotionally or is not what we expect. The performances are very good, especially Cate Blanchett's, and the photography is also good.

I think the direction makes the film not have the emotional impact that it should, by trying to make it seem funny instead of giving importance to the suffering and uncertainty that the main character goes through, although I think the actors do an excellent job of bringing to life these characters in a very real way.
