Thanks to all the failures out there, any new movie is usually considered more than first impression. Check reviews. Check plot. Check ratings. And while this has saved me from a lot, I would suggest, IF POSSIBLE, to go in blind on this one. With as little foreknowledge and expectations brought by the above.
For me, I had never heard of it. The cast was enough to give it a chance along with the regretted viewing of the short Netflix clip that comes along with it. My 95% certain, 100% mistake was suspecting it was some remake or variation on The Stepford Wives. Nope. It drew me in and held my attention throughout. That is worth a 7 right there.
Summary? I enjoyed it. Love the protagonist; too old/lazy to look up but she did a fine job with the others. The only non-spoiler criticism is that there was not enough. And what IS here just seems a light touch on what Could Have Been. Then again, some decry the too complex or are disappointed in being handed everything vs imagining for yourself. Worth the time but in another world, could have been much, much more.
