Must-see? More like must-avoid. The worst movie I've seen in a long time. It reminded me of the worst of Antonioni: jumps from one scene to another without any explanation or justification. Characters who had no apparent reason for theirMust-see? More like must-avoid. The worst movie I've seen in a long time. It reminded me of the worst of Antonioni: jumps from one scene to another without any explanation or justification. Characters who had no apparent reason for their actions. It started out boring but by the end it got to excrucating. I had a free ticket and I feel like I overpaid.… Expand

Pretentious. Boring. A slap in the face to the true story of how addiction actually affects people.

The ONLY interesting thing about this movie is that Honor Swinton Byrne works with her mom, Tilda (who also plays her mom in the movie).

Honor plays a dull film student who's also in a relationship with a man who has serious issues (Tom Burke). However, this whole thing is played out in quiet conversations with virtually no emotional investment and only the most sedate of interactions. A staid, tedious British version of mumblecore.… Expand

One of the worst and most pretentious movies I have seen in 2019. Instant BOREDOM, I stopped watching the movie to read the rave reviews. Waste of time.

The movie is boring and horrible. I watched 2 couple walkout of the movie. I stayed because it was raining outside. I can't believe I drove 20 minutes to see this mess. Lucky I used my AMC Alister pass to see this. Stay away from this movie.The movie is boring and horrible. I watched 2 couple walkout of the movie. I stayed because it was raining outside.

Handily one of the most empty, tedious and flat-out dull movie experiences I've had in quite a long, long while.

This alleged story (if one could even call it that) of the perils of toxic relationships never gets off the ground but instead wallows in a collection of disjointed incidents mixed in with pseudointellectual discussions about filmmaking and other obscure, esoteric topics. For the life of me I have no clue what director Joanna Hogg was going for here, and, based on the results, I suspect she didn't, either.… Expand
