Review of Daphne

Daphne (2017)
1/10
Pointless

There's some fantastic acting in this, particularly from Emily Beecham, but the whole film is utterly pointless. It's almost as if they didn't think they needed a plot or a script. Which wouldn't be so bad if the central character was more interesting, but as a character study it's way off. She's supposed to be 31 but she looks 21 and acts about 16. Maybe that's the point? I don't know and I really don't care.

If you think there's something inherently interesting or original about watching an selfish, immature, narcissistic, emotionally disengaged young middle-class guardian reader snorting coke in a variety of sarf London toilets then this is possibly the film for you. If not then I wouldn't bother.
