Got bored


And tuned out halfway through.

Going by the trailer I expected completely different movie. And I watched it in the cinema. The whole movie I expected something to happen, and then it ended.

Spoilers...

Throughout the film the audience is led to believe that something terrible happened to Leda's oldest daughter, and that Leda's odd present-day behavior is the result of guilt and ongoing psychological trauma over the child's death. Then at the end we find out her daughter is alive and well. So what seemed to be Leda's motivation for the last two hours suddenly disappears, and the movie is basically about nothing.

I didn't tune it out, but at 25 minutes I thought, where the hell is this thing going? Nothing happens for the first 25, and it was a bore. Then something happened, I think it was the obnoxious family came roaring along and took over the beach, but even that wasn't much. And the rest of it was a lot of the same. The flashbacks to Leda's past and her inability to deal with her kids, needing her space wasn't enough to hang a whole movie on. And then nothing much happens at the end, not what a lot of people expected at least. You think she lost her own daughter, but that's not the case.

Maybe I'll receive crap from woman viewers about this, but it seemed like a film women - especially mothers - might appreciate, and not so much men.

Yeah I hear ya. It makes you wonder if the point of the story is to say that some mom’s secretly hate their children or their decision to be mothers.

Bingo... I think you're on the right track of thought.

I can say that I turned off the latest episode of "Boba Fest" midway through, but I watched this all the way to the end. Held my interest because it was as weird and unpredictable and the acting was on point.

Gotcha. Now Im glad I didnt watch the Boba series. I am also not watching Peacemaker but I am jazzed for MoonKnight.
