After a frustrating drama day
the frustrated me searched for a special or movie and...
"This is not what I expected" came across.
I saw some screenshots on the feeds and since I love good cinematography I decided to watch it.
Even if the trailer was meh.

You know what?
This was a good decision. The film is so weird and refreshing. And the acting was PHENOMENAL.
Im really big on good acting and plot etc.
But I think without the awesome portrayal of the characters this wouldn't have worked.
The story would have been too much, "drowning" the characters.


The filming was on another level. The color the composition and the absolutely stunning lightning!
The food was presented beautifully and looked straight out of a magazine.
The characters were wacky and eccentric af and that's so my jam.
I never saw the fml before and I have to say I was IMPRESSED wich you don't hear often from me.
Especially her emotional scene felt so candid.

So why did I give this a 7?
First off I couldn't grasp all the interaction and some shots/ things happened/ cut to fast. I think this is the kind of movie you have to watch more than once or even twice to grasp it fully.
All the colors and shots were like a explosion of cinematic style so you were just like wooooooahhhhh.
To really see and appreciate every shot and picture I think you just have to watch it again, because it's so much in one movie.

So in the end:
I liked it. It was new it was fresh it was like a rainbow brain fart in movie form. And that's great.
The main actors were really good in delivering their roles but the supports were totally overshadowed.
This was creatively shot and put in action.
Also the food makes you jealous that you can't afford it.
