Oscar for best directing, Razzie for worst script
The style, tone, acting and directing is really on point. But the script is just so stupied. Not with missing plotholes or story structure, but with character motivation..
The screenwriter is trying so hard to convey a feeling to the audience that a lot of scenes are just that, conveying a character (Alice) emotion rather than to drive the plot forward.. To show a character's emotion is not inherently bad, but to use the character's emotion to try to evok an emotion in the audience is... That's why the movie doesn't have much substance, it lacks proper character motivation to motivate Alice's action.
This script just had so much potential, but fell short on character drive..
