I couldn’t work out why I wasn’t capable of actually get into it, however I feel Josh Rivera’s assessment actually nails it: it’s sort of a boring tackle the story.

It’s a beautiful-looking film, however idk, none of the characters — besides possibly Kristen Scott Thomas’s Mrs. Danvers— has a lot depth.
