Nonsensical dialogues, unbelievably slow and almost like watching a (bad) Lanthimos film. The acting was decent - maybe even it was quite limited due to weak plot.
Then you have the fact that the movie feels EXTREMELY pretentious. What I mean by that is at first that it's filmed in 2019, on 16mm film. Well ok, it's possible but to prove what?
Also it's completely unclear when does the film take place. Is it the 80's, the 90's or in 2019? We see an analog camera, a very old radio/cassette player, but at the same time a modern house on the hill. If it's set in 2019, what's with all this hipster aesthetic with the retro glasses and the retro tech?
To sum up the steps:
Step 1: Get some young pretty actresses
Step 3: Make them memorise all Woody Allen movies (insert Allen tribute here)
Step 2: Let them (mainly) improvise
Step 4: Add a few almost sexual and other provocative scenes
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit
Clearly a film made on a budget - nothing wrong with that - but it just feels that it doesn't have what it takes to make you get absorbed.
Having a recognised director father does not mean that anyone can also become a director as well - it doesn't work like any other family business.
