The cast can act. That's about all one can say for this. Their noble message is lost as the viewer has to dodge the onslaught of over the top baseball bat messaging. Unable to discover the possible charm of the characters and story, one can only mourn what could've been. The whiplash of contradictions in Elle is exhausting. She's not confident, she's arrogant. She comes off more like the undesirable second male lead with all the personality turn offs. Which is an actual disservice to the actress who could and should be playing the lead the audience wants to root for. There are a handful of moments where you see the possible chemistry between the leads but it's quickly squashed by the chip on her shoulder. I'll be shocked if she has an actual character arc by the end.
