This movie could have been another enjoyable and calm romantic drama but it just didn't deliver on so many fronts. Although we get some nice cinematography and earthy cello music, it doesn't make up for the lack of story and character development. Looking back, it feels like nothing happens in this film, the characters are presented on a surface level and the simple story that could have worked is often interrupted by weird scenes that don't make sense.
The dialogue in this movie is seriously so strange, I swear some lines are just thrown in there with zero regard for the context, it almost seems like a mistake. Characters' strange actions are never questioned or explained, leaving the viewer questioning where they got the motivation for them or why nobody is reacting in an appropriate way.
The story could be summarised in two sentences and the main relationship between the two women is never really developed on anything but a sexual level. They barely have any meaningful conversation in the film and then suddenly are in love with each other. I often watch romantic films as a guilty pleasure, not expecting great storytelling, but this didn't even deliver a believable relationship. If you're looking for a romantic drama, I would recommend anything but this (-just watch Carol again).
