The second Tom Ford movie I’ve watched in as many months, it’s about what I would expect from the fashion designers first foray into film directing. A lot of big visual swings that would probably work better in music videos, tied to a melodramatic reading of a melodramatic story. The twist ending is at least more interesting and enjoyable than the one he used in Nocturnal Animals. 6/10 for getting some fun performances out of Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, but otherwise it’s a pretty by-the-numbers plot that should be unsurprising to anyone who’s seen movies before.
