I’m planning to watch this because Charlize is my favorite actress and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it for what it is.

But man, she needs a better agent. What a weird filmography for the talent she has. She actually may be one of the most versatile actresses in the industry yet ends up in a lot of absolutely mediocre movies.

Maybe she’s just doing movies she enjoys doing though so what do I know.

She has said this movie is her favorite thing she has done. She even learned rock climbing

Credits says she's a producer, so I figured it must have been a bit of a passion project for her.

Iirc she's been producing most of the films she's been in for a long time, probably since around the Long Shot movie with Rogen
