A Film About 2 Self Important Dullards


This film was just painful in its portrayal of the self-importance of the modern person. The guyvwas just a l caricatures of everyone's most hated Facebook 'friend'. A self obsessed idiot who elevates himself above everyone realise whilst simultaneously being the most uninspiring person on the planet. His sister was just a slut - painting herself as some deeply troubled person incapable of escaping her 'demons'. I don't think I've ever seen two more unlikable people on film.


It was also the worst use of the 'normie who doesn't fit in' trope I've ever seen. The husband was painted as someone who was just far too 'regular' to fit in with such a fascinating pair of siblings, and yet he was the most interesting character there.

An epic rights off passage tale for the self obsessed generation.

I agree

Gotta agree I could't watch to much as I thought both were so freaking boring and pathetic.

Terrible movie. Sucks because this movie had the potential to be really good if written better.

Agreed!

I completely agree. And the screenwriter tried to convince us that these two narcissists would actually care for each other in the end. Epic fail.
