I must not be the target audiance for this movie. Walked out about 80 minutes in, was unbearable. Felt like a bad german romantic novel set in some marsh and with a bit of abuse on top.
I can totally see that the source material - book - was good/more interesting and appealed to many, especially to young women.
But the movie is so kytchy and bad
. The acting didnt sit right with me, the plot was uninteresting, the visuals felt ridiculous (the casting of the boys especially made it feel too disgenuine) it felt like a Twilight movie sans the vampires.
Couldnt believe Reese Whiterspoon produced it. Or I could, because she likes the strong female/ abuse topic but this was no Bigg Little Lies or Little Fires Everywhere. This was Danielle Steele set in the woods.
Did you see? What did you think?
