Watched on AmazonPrime.

Dozens of songs in the Soundtracks, almost nothing performed onscreen, and almost nothing noticeable as underscoring. Bizarre to see that many credits.

Very little dialog or even voice-over from the primary female character. Nothing really happens that I detected. Just couples mooning over each other, touching (fully clothed), pondering their feelings. Sometimes a second woman was onscreen as though a menage a trois would happen.

A complete waste of time and electrons for me. I'm not even curious why so many respected actors thought this was a good idea, or what the idea really was.

Rated 5.7 (15,106)
