i gave up on this one. at one point i took a snack break and kind of had the feeling of being right in the middle of the movie, then when i went to un-pause i saw i was only 20 minutes in! so that was disheartening, then at about 40 minutes i just couldn’t do anymore. the dialogue between the two main characters was all based on pretty simplistic archetypes and felt really hollow to me - it made me think more of a writer imagining a dialogue more than any actual conversation. and her holding the baby, and their scenes laying naked by a fire, and finally her being poo-poo-ed for speaking up at the cocktail party were all just too transparent for me.
it’s kind of unusual for me to not finish a movie i start. i wonder if it’s because of keeping this blog and thinking more while watching, rather than just kind of experiencing.
