i thought it was boring. more needed to happen. what was with the toni character? the ed harris character?
shareI just came from seeing it in the cinema and I can’t remember who is Toni. Nina’s husband, or?
I expected completely different movie, going just by the trailer. Thought Olivia will be some psycho lady obsessed with little girl and her mom and that she will be responsible for the kidnapping or something bad happening.
The whole movie I waited for something to happen, and then it ended.
It was misleading, they showed all the time that loud family members looking at her menacingly. And that hotel staff guy warned her that they are evil or dangerous people. I legit thought they will find out about that stupid doll and do something worse to her than what happend when Nina stabbed her with the hat pin. Thats what I thought after I realized that kidnapping plot is going nowhere. And whay they made such a drama about that fucking doll? It even crossed my mind that there were drugs or something valuable hidden in it. It’s just a doll, get over it. 😅 Oh yeah, also for I while I thought she had lost her daughter at the beach and has trauma flashbacks. I thought her kid drowned. But no, she just left her kids when she was young and now kind of regrets it, also she took the doll just to play. I thought at first she took the doll because of nostalgia because it reminded her of her kids.
That being said there were some interesting scenes and Olivia was great. But also there were a lot of unnecessary scenes leading nowhere. Too much hype.
Is the book better?
Exactly. The film led us to believe something had happened to Coleman's older daughter, and that she was dead. In the end she phones her and it turns out she's fine. So then what was all Coleman's weird behavior about, especially with the doll? It didn't make sense and was very misleading.
shareOh good, it's one of those.
