The trailer made the film look much better than it is.
It tried to be deep, philosophical, existential, and largely failed.
It also felt so un-relatable, looking at this privileged white LA girl life. A good story is one where you root for the characters, where something resonates with you, where the themes are universal. Where you have the story on the surface, but you're also telling a deeper story through the story. Like how Jaws is about sharks but really is about 3 very different dudes learning to work together.
Here, there's non of that. Characters are flat. Feels fake. At least it was short.
The only good thing in this movie was Cailee Spaeny.
