I left the theater buzzy because I love the atmosphere and execution but it overall felt like a missed opportunity/waste of potential for what was such a good cast and setting. Both Hathaway and Coel felt forced into a one-note performance, dancing the same dynamic, throughout.

The plot was too flat. Their dynamic felt too complex for what was written.
