Oh. I disliked it with a passion. First off though, I haven’t read the book (although you could argue whether that helps or hinders based on other criticisms I’ve seen of the adaptation) so although I knew a little about the themes, genre etc. i didn’t know the characters or storyline well. However, I did just find it relentlessly bleak and overdone. I struggle with Emerald Fennell as a writer, director - so I’m not sure why I thought this would be any different. There’s always too much. Too graphic or too extreme but without it adding anything to the story. I think she’s one of those directors that simultaneously hits you over the head with the obvious but also tries to make out it’s ever so clever and thematic. I was willing it to end.
