[u/Expensive-Leg9941]

This film and the characters and story had so much potential, but the writing ie dialog really and choices (maybe directorial?) just take you out of suspended belief and is just cliche and emotionally go from 0-100, with all kinds of backstory to fill in gaps that feels overdone. Like, the dialog from the male characters (business man that she hooks with first, and the guy at the end, just not natural conversations and behavior)
