Andover (2017)
1/10
I wish there was a score lower than zero...

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, the plot is weak to say the least. Plenty of things don't make any sense and that's without even considering the cloning part.

The performances aren't awful considering the quality of the script. The character development is nearly unexistent (as in, the characters have no personality, at all)

Now the worst part for me is the message of this movie. This guy basically kills a woman over and over again because she's not what he wants her to be or doesn't love him back. Not a premise I'd have a problem with if this was a satire or a dark comedy. But this is supposed to be *romantic*, and we are supposed to root for this guy and empathize with him like he's entitled to do what he does (because he's just "grieving". Not a valid excuse to kill people, in my opinion, but oh, well). It could have been done with, say, robots (as in "not sentient beings") and it wouldn't be as creepy. But no.

In a world where women get beat up to death and burned alive because of those very same reasons, this movie is absolutely problematic and downright disturbing (apart from being a horrible movie as a whole)

I wish I could downrate it into oblivion.
