When I first heard the premise of the film, I thought it was another psycho ex girlfriend movie. I was wrong. It is about toxic relationships. How the toxicity can be harmful to all involved.
However this was not a perfect movie but yet it is one of those movies that draws the viewer in.
The plot: Sabina (Liana Liberato) is in a relationship with Ramsay (Jordan Rodrigues) who is a struggling "business man" and sponging off his girlfriend.
So he meets a wealthy business man whose rebuffs Ramsay's virus protection idea. However he meets the wealthy guys daughter, Alvy(Rumer Willis)
So he see's Alvy on the side and eventually dumps Sabina (after putting her down) and hooks up with Alvy. He get's Alvy pregnant.
In a little plot twist, he briefly cheats on Alvy with Sabina and ends up getting Sabina pregnant.
So.... Sabina goes to the town Alvy lives and owns a business. She befriends Alvy.
My breakdown:
The Good:
The acting. All involved were good.
A character focus movie.
The handling of the storyline. This type of story has been told countless times but I thought the actors and the director did a good job with it.
The Ending: It's an open ending. Alvy found the photos and knows Sabina is dead. The Inn Keeper delivery's Sabina's letter to Alvy's house . What did Sabina wrote? Will Alvy read it? What will Alvy do?
I don't mind open endings. Sometimes, its better to leave it up the viewer to decide what the out come is.
The Bad:
The dialogue: There were moments the dialogue was a little off.
The moment of convenience: the dog running up the fire pit as Alvy discovers the photos of Sabina and Ramsay in his jacket pocket. The dog digs a hole uncovering Sabina's body.
The Jacket: When visiting Alvy and Ramsey's home, Sabina takes his jacket. Ramsay never noticed it missing. When she brings it back near the end, he doesn't make a fuss that she took his jacket.
The Ugly:
The Inn Keeper: I think he was supposed to be comedy relief however he came across as creepy.
The name change. The original title was Left with Only Rain. I think the name was change to draw more viewers (click bait)
The movie is listed as a thriller/horror. It is not. This just a regular melodrama.
This reminds me of an early 1960's French art house film.
Overall: If you are tired of big budget blockbusters and CGI induced madness, this movie is for you.
