I watch this film twice now. The first time I found myself mesmerized by the beautiful cinematography, and the absolutely captivating performance by Florence Pugh. However, there were a lot of unanswered questions that urged me to watch it once more.
From the ground shaking that was never explained, to the airplane that no one seem to pay mind to.... I could go on, but what's interesting is I can't provide you any answers. Somewhere along the line either the writers or Olivia Wilde forgot to tend to the fullness of the storyline.
I believe the story itself was one that was a good idea. I can understand why someone like Florence Pugh was drawn to the project. But I can also understand why she might not have been interested in attending the final premieres. There was a lot of extra editing to make the film, visually stimulating, but not enough depth to keep it afloat.
If you want to go in for a one time watch of some thing that offers great acting on Florence Pugh's part in a story that's not completely easy to figure out, this would be a nice evening film. But to be prepared to walk away with questions that unfortunately will never be answered.
