7/10
Not what you expect
2 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
As everyone else I went into this film expecting some kind of comedy girls holiday film where they have fun and awkward moments where one of the girls is looking for her first time.

About half way through I realised something. There was no soundtrack. Usually you get a banging soundtrack and the film is generally released in September/October. I guessed this wasn't what I was expecting it to be. I have no issue with how this film was made in that regard.

What came next was a dark turn in the story. I though that was well written although very distressing subject material. Consent is something that needs to be discussed and drilled into young lads. Girls also need to know this is not right and to speak up.

The issue I had was the ending. She finally opened up and again that was done well. Then she stops on the way to the plane and my first thoughts are she's not going to go, she's going to go back and report it. I'm thinking nice one. Her friend comes back says a couple of words and she's back to normal. That spoiled it for me. That's not how life works. Shame really. Could have been a 9/10.
