At this point, I feel like I'm stuck on the "sunk-cost fallacy" with the MCU. I spent so much time but I still press on even if the past few entries are uninteresting.
This is painfully average with a script that's just all over the place.
There's nothing brave or new in this world.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
"Are people born wicked? Or is wickedness thrust upon them?"
Kidding aside...
Love this tiny detail: sign names are given by the Deaf based on what stands out the most about someone. Dom's sign name is "D+Good." His name in sign is literally good Dom.
Anyway, this could have used a 10 minute trimming off of its runtime. Too much expositional backstory that overstayed its welcome.
Love Ricky Lee as a writer but I am disappointed. The characters felt like they were all making dumb decisions by the third act.
As a film, #AllTooWell doesn't have much going for it. Aside from its cinematography and serviceable acting, there isn't much here. There's a really good story to tell but Taylor Swift shouldn't have been the one to write and direct this.
Her direction and scriptwriting were what hindered the film from achieving its full potential. A scriptwriter should have been hired to make the screenplay more intelligible for audiences who have no knowledge of the behind-the-scenes drama that inspired the film.
