Face it, this film is awful!


Not just because I hate Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, and Steven Soderbergh, but aside from the coincidence of Covid 19 this film was awful. It began with a fake phone call and then shows how Gwyneth singlehandedly spread the virus worldwide. I mean there were certain things that were realistic which were interesting, but I think overall it sucked. Also I can't stand Matt Damon nor Kate Winslet-- by the way, if she had the virus why did she first go to the hotel and THEN do contact tracing--one of many ridiculous plotlines here.

Doubling down. I couldn't stand this film. Mostly because I hate Matt Damon, Soderbergh, and most of the others in this film. Yes, it happened
to coincide with some aspects of Covid, but the script was ridiculous otherwise.
