    “You can do it. You're ‘RoxyGurl20’.”

    I laughed through the majority of this film, but not at the jokes, more about the terrible dialogue/script, performances and plot lines. But, not going to lie, it was absolutely fun to watch. 
    I thought Jaeden Martell (Eli) was fine when he had someone like Julian Dennison (Danny) to bounce off. When he had to be serious, I thought his performance was laughable. Much like some of Rachel Zegler’s (Laura) outrageous facial expressions. I…

    “Foxy-ass fuck!”

    I genuinely enjoyed this film way more than I thought I would have done. I was so pleased with all the aspects from the plot, direction, camera work, pacing and especially the acting. Olivia Colman (Edith) is such a talent and a marvel, she owns this role and is at equals with her opponent Jessie Buckley (Rose) who is also fantastic; even when she awkwardly talks out of the side of her mouth.
