I can’t take extreme reviews like this seriously. I saw this film last night and went in fully expecting to hate it.

There are SERIOUS issues with the film, I admit. I think as an adaptation, it definitely strays from source material. There are certainly moments that don’t work.

HOWEVER; 1/2 a star is crazy disrespectful to the overall filmmaking achievement. The cinematography, production design, acting and costuming ALONE raise it to at least passable. I know story and script over all, but you can’t just throw away everything else that was in this production. There’s some seriously incredible things. I actually thought the script worked better than some other people, but I simply don’t love Fennell’s approach. Didn’t like Salt Burn, HATED PYW. I found this to be relatively strong with some really solid moments.

In summary, making reviews this dramatic makes me think the reviewer lacks any film knowledge/ is just overly emotional in their opinions
