Review of Daphne

Daphne (2017)
4/10
Not every film is a winner
9 November 2020
This film was marked under the comedy genre but the only thing funny about this film was the joke the creators played on anyone thinking it would be an entertaining film. The first thing that caught my attention was the music. Unless this film was intended to be set in the 90s, I couldn't understand the protagonist's fascination with awful 90s pop music. That being said, the film is entirely too British to have ever stood a chance in the mainstream. The dialogue is basically just characters rattling off a bunch of British slang but not in a good way like films such as Snatch. The funniest thing in the movie was when the thief held up the store with a yellow pairing knife that I could only imagine he got from his mom's kitchen. If the point of the film was to portray some girl's existential crisis, it failed. If it was meant to just entertain, it also failed. Overall, this film was a failure.
