No thread about Victor using Hilary? I thought it was pretty creepy!
He hires Hilary on the spot obviously because he's physically attracted to her and she figures so too (the short skirt commentary she makes), he runs away with her in the middle of nowhere, he asks to sleep in her bed, and then one night, in the middle of the night, he comes into her room with a boner and she complies. I know they had started to have feelings for each other, but the things seemed to me a bit (too) forced into action. The way Victor treats Hilary from the moment he meets her feels creepy, to say the least - staring at her, asking for dances, dates, favors etc. Her job doesn't include any of these, and Victor crosses the line every moment. It almost feels like he held 'job interviews' just so he could select a nice-looking naive prey girl that would fall in love with him and made his misery a bit sweeter. If the actor playing Victor wasn't so handsome, and he was, say, an old disgusting ugly man, he would've definitely come across as perv and she would've quit her job to get rid of his advances. I know it's just a movie, and movies like this usually have attractive actors (e.g Me Before You (2016)), but realistically speaking, true romance between sick employer-healthy employee is romanticized to extremes in fiction.
What do you think?
N.B I genuinely loved this film and the actors' performances!
