Not only offensive in its repeated “scheming women” tropes, but in its slow, slow, utterly tedious shitness too.
Look, I don’t mind a film where the main bits of action happen offstage, IF what we do see play out is thrilling, emotionally intense, well-acted, tightly pulled etc etc. But this is just utter bilge where the only potentially exciting events are hidden from us. Snore

And now cut to me, Dan Levy, looking sad (sucking my lips and closing my eyes, looking down)
Funeral speeches
Cut to me, Dan Levy, smiling in a smirky way, then looking sad again
And cut to me again

Starfish 2018
Uggghhh I *really* hated this. The main character had no actual character traits, just “pink bits in hair”. The set up was so annoyingly filmed, like having her see something & gasp but not showing us what it was. Style over substance, a central relationship (with her dead best friend) that felt completely phony, awful shoegazy whiny American alt-rock as the soundtrack, the magic realism set pieces that were just...boring... ugh. I gave up an hour in.
