While I find the location of this movie picturesque with a handful of occasional beauty, I can't ignore the lack of substance, especially in a story criticized for glorifying an imbalanced power-dynamic relationship that involved nothing romantic and is largely set on lust.
The characters' likability is also a point of contention, with smugness and pretentiousness. The age-gap romance is an absolute tumor-leveled concern, being clearly predatory. Just wtf.
The film falls short in ethical portrayal, character development, and ethical portrayal leave me questioning its acclaim, especially in comparison to other acclaimed works like "Moonlight." What do people like about this so much?
I won't be detailed or explain further.
