Refreshing oddity
15 February 2021
This truly is a high-concept movie. It's funny, perplexing and honest. Not five minutes in and we get a fourth wall break, from there it's confusing hilarity all the way. Each scene is filmed in the cinematic style of a medium or genre that sets the tone in direct opposition to the content of the plot. For instance we get scenes shot in the style of promo videos or commercials with some out of place sitcom sound effects and fart jokes; jump scares followed by intentional bloopers, unnecessary 360 degree pan shots and more that have nothing to do with what's happening at that point in the story. It's also high-concept in it's narrative premise: 'what if a woman were the ultra rich sociopath with the high-powered job and a man filled the role of the "naive gold digger"?' Finally, it's a social commentary on the currently prevalent societal expectations toward women and men. In short, this movie is weird, entertaining and thought-provoking. You should definitely watch it.
