Amores Solitários

Lonely Planet

Of course I was expecting so much from Laura Dern. And she didn't really disappoint me, it's just the script that's not giving her much space to show the depth of her character, if there's any. She tried so hard though.

I like the first part of the film, the slow burn, the getting to know each other part. They got a lot of help by the beautiful scenery and background of Morocco. It's definitely not a lonely planet with repeated scenes of crowded markets.

Then it turned to just another basic Hollywood love story. I don't mind the chemistry and the age gap. They could stay as good friends who support each other going through hardships, it won't change the story (but probably it won't sell). Even the s3x scene was unnecessary and awkward.

The girlfriend is so annoying, if it's because of the script then she succeeded in her role. She could tone down her screeching voice though.

The film went downhill afterward.

A famous writer who didn't back up her 2 years worth of writing? In this age and time? She's using MacBook, everything should be in iCloud anyway. They're not doing a very good job in convincing us. And again in the cringey reunion scene.

Watch it if you want a Morocco (and Liam Hemsworth's body) virtual tour. You won't miss much if you don't watch it either.
