The film. This was this was this was sent to me by one of the one of the press people. The press people I haven't seen anything about this. Maybe you did, I did not, but when I read, I. Honestly here's what I saw. I want to start removing more films. Right. Jessica Chastain in an erotic drama. And I thought, there are worse ways I can spend my evening than given this a shot.

00;01;44;22 - 00;02;14;06
Unknown
Am I glad I did? Well, yeah. I mean, overall, Jessica Chastain is a wonderful actress, right? Academy Award winner, all that. She she's a great actress. The erotic scenes, they were erotic. They they they not that off. They were good.

00;02;14;08 - 00;02;44;12

Here's the thing. It's it's definitely it's an indie film. And you know why? It's an indie film. Here's a hallmark of an indie film. Indie films do not feel the need to resolve the film. They they tell their story. And does it doesn't have to button up at the end. Maybe something cool happens at the end. Maybe. Hey, Andy Vale, a not cool thing.

00;02;44;15 - 00;03;14;17
Unknown
You go into an indie film, everybody could die in the whole film, right? Everybody could live, they could just, continue on and the end like you have, you have such a range of what can happen in indie film, which is make which makes them exciting to watch, but then also a little bit frustrating, you know, as I as I've been getting into music lately, I've been learning about, things that the we react to music in some scientific ways.

00;03;14;19 - 00;03;17;19
Unknown
Right. We have,

00;03;17;22 - 00;03;34;26
Unknown
There's, there's this called a resolution. You resolve something in us all, which can be you bring back from the beginning the assembler chord or some notes, and there's a feeling of completion.

00;03;34;28 - 00;03;55;29
Unknown
In in a film that's erotic, you want completion, if you know what I mean. And I felt like I just didn't get that out of this overall, like, well acted script. Fine script's good, except the distant time at the end. Like, I just didn't feel like I knew at the end. Like, what I was as a result of it.

00;03;55;29 - 00;04;00;04
Unknown
The thing about this is it's just about.

00;04;00;06 - 00;04;20;10
Unknown
Like, okay, he comes over and he's a ballet dancer that up to teaching, right? So I thought there were some poignant little messages going about the treatment toward, immigrants and about how people who perceive their jobs being taken by an immigrant and I thought that was interesting. I thought they were going to push on that a bit more.

00;04;20;10 - 00;04;44;28
Unknown
I was like, oh, what a timely movie. When did they shoot this? Is this about immigration? Maybe this was, done during the first Trump administration. And that's what you start writing. You stick in about that. And then I was like, oh, no, this is just some more about, intense erotica and this woman's desire for it. Than it is like a message.

00;04;44;28 - 00;04;56;23
Unknown
I don't realize there was a message from that. I mean, there's a lesson from every every movie from this I'm going to say, like, well, don't.

00;04;56;25 - 00;05;16;18
Unknown
Don't let your nether regions be your guide for life, people, either. One, I, I don't I don't want to give too much away on the film, but maybe make rational choices and.

00;05;16;20 - 00;05;42;23
Unknown
Like, oh, okay. I what I struggle with is a film that you really enjoy and you're really into. And then the last ten minutes you're like, well, why did I just watch this? What? What journey did you want me to go on? Because one of the characters, sorry, both of the characters do some pretty despicable actions. Why?

00;05;42;25 - 00;06;14;14
Unknown
Why, I think is pretty worse than the other in sort of a vengeful way, I guess you could say. But is what? So I was just more I was, I left, I left my living room where I watched the stream, the screener and like, well, why did you have to do that? I liked your character. You didn't show any signs of that before that, I noticed.

00;06;14;16 - 00;06;26;06
Unknown
Maybe I just wasn't, you know, I wasn't focused or I just wasn't expecting or I put my own anticipations on him, but.

00;06;26;08 - 00;06;45;17
Unknown
Yeah. So if you want to see a good movie, that's just doesn't give you, crystal some money shot at the end, you know, you don't feel a sense of completion, dislike a.

00;06;45;20 - 00;07;07;10
Unknown
Not even a one night stand. Probably a good one to see. What if there's. Again, there are worse things you could do than watch Jessica Chastain. That's for me. There's definitely only worse things you can do. But this is definitely a movie about choices that you can you can talk about. Like, you should watch this with somebody and go, would you do that?

00;07;07;13 - 00;07;18;29
Unknown
Like, what do you do that? Oh do you, oh what do you do that there. Why would they do that there. That's not the place for that.

00;07;19;01 - 00;07;28;08
Unknown
It's I'm gonna I'm going to drop the trailer. I'm gonna put part of the trailer in this playing behind me. Have something to say?

00;07;28;10 - 00;07;59;16
Unknown
So I don't this movie's not going to stick in her the next Academy Award. I don't think that it's a February movie. Barely knew that usually. Right. Talk about that in The Last call. Sometimes are surprising. This is not this is not going to be an Academy Award movie. I mean, I did like it. I did overall not no, not a super strong like, like, 11.

00;07;59;19 - 00;08;25;13
Unknown
Give it a I'll roll the dice and get an 11 out of that. It's a good atom. No little story, couple little messages going on. It was it was in a bunch of spots. Just didn't hit the spot. Didn't hit that spot that had erotic drama. Should. I'm just I do too many puns that I'm doing in this review.

00;08;25;16 - 00;08;31;12
Unknown
I apologize for that. Anyway.

00;08;31;15 - 00;08;57;25
Unknown
I think, yeah, it's, it's a play and play it out in theaters around. You're not going to learn about the arts. You're going to learn about ballet. Overall ballet, film, not a lot of ballet. They're doing a dance. It's not it's not vertical. I have too much time on my hands is basically what this is. The review is coming out to, the dreams.

00;08;57;25 - 00;09;04;17
Unknown
Check it out in theaters. Directed by Michael Franco.
