Review of Daphne

Daphne (2017)
1/10
A glum allegory of modern Britain
4 July 2020
For an hour and a half, this film aimlessly wanders through the life of a Londoner who:

  • pushes anyone who (inexplicably) expresses any tenderness or romantic interest away
  • shows little more than mild interest or affection for a terminally ill parent
  • appears unable to even enjoy the pleasures of illicit drugs or anonymous sex despite partaking frequently
  • manages to chastise the victim of violence she has witnessed in their moment of greatest vulnerability
  • blames everyone else for the feelings of emptiness


Is it a spoiler to say that nothing else happens? Ugh, save yourself 90 minutes.
