Over-rated, pretentious, unimportant and typical... if this film were about a male character, it would have disappeared into the void where it belongs - Blanchett is fantastic and if the film were even a little better, it would be worth seeing just to see her performance - but, alas, it sinks ever-so-slowly into nonsense and pointlessness. If you love Blanchett or are an idiot-savant when it comes to classical music - then, by all means, have at it - but otherwise there is no reason to see this film.

It's sad too - because this film could dig deeper into what is going on - perhaps have some insightful things to say - but it is all surface and little substance.

I'm watching this on Max because Troye Sivan is in it - but it is absolute trash - I don't mean like fun cheesy trash that's so bad it makes you giggle and smile - I mean absolute garbage... the kind of stuff you wouldn't want your mother to see... The Weekend is so unattractive in the first episode we can't believe anyone would want to have sex with him... especially someone as attractive as Ms. Depp. But she is obviously so bored out of her mind here - is she severely catatonic or just acting like she is? - its impossible to say what her motivation might be. Regardless, the two leads have zero chemistry.

I will watch all the episodes to help me get my much-needed Sivan fix... but there is nothing else her to interest me... its a boring, boring show... This film shows clips from Basic Instinct - but its really an updating of The Lonely Lady - except nowhere near as fun and cheesy.... Pia Zadora we hardly knew ye...
