Greta sounds great. Greta should be great.
Old lady seduces younger woman into a friendship. The young girl bis looking
for a replacement Mom because her Mom died. A suspense thriller that's
well-acted starring Cloë-Grace Moretz and Isabelle Huppert.
It should be good. I keep telling myself. I
shout encouragement to myself as I schlog through it. I must persevere. My
readers depend on me to make funny comparisons between this movie and Game of
Thrones!
Ok. You can do this.
Let’s see, old lady played by Isabelle
Huppert. Ok, yeah, she’s good in the role. So there’s lots we can do with that.
Cersei Lanister. Olenna Tyrell. That’s a way better comparison. Olenna killed Joffery
after all.
Ok, strap in Charlie. Focus.
“Slow burn” is just another way of saying
boring.
Um…
Okayyy….
Why is this movie so bad? It’s well-acted.
It’s beautiful to look at. It’s just sooo stupid. It’s not even badly written.
I’ve seen it before!
A thousand times. Thirty years ago it would
have been a classic. Forty years ago it would have won an Oscar. Fifty years
ago it would have been one of the best movies ever made. Today, it’s a dull
remake of a movie you’ve seen thousands of times.
