One of the best films of 2020. This time awards season got it right. Fascinating, important historical topic with smart, entertaining dialogue. Just watch it.
It's not unlike a bunch of spy/assassin thriller type movies that are out there with the schemes, kills, and action thrills. But it failed to develop Jessica Chastain's character as super sympathetic, so you're really just in it for the action pieces, but unlike a movie like Atomic Blonde which lacked heart but made up for it with amazing action, Ava's action is adequate but not awesome. Partly because Chastain doesn't really run or move like someone who I'd believe could kick ass.
Totally overrated but still cute and fun. I was more interested in some of the other family members' side stories than I was in the two main romantic leads. Daphne's character was so sweet and proper that I found her a bit boring. The Duke was handsome but also felt a little bland. I also don't understand all the buzz about how "hot" the sex scenes were. They felt pretty vanilla overall and at times unintentionally comical.
The first half of the season had WAY more momentum than the second half, at which point it started to amble about with drama that felt really artificial no matter how hard the writers and actors tried to invent "conflict."
Some of the side stories with the "less perfect" characters that seem to be developed for later seasons show promise though, so I'll probably check out season 2.
