I had a hard time enjoying the movie because of the lead actress.
I expected to love this movie but the lead actress just made it so difficult. I didn't make it through the entire movie. I tried twice, and gave up and went to a different movie. I'll try again, maybe 3rd time's the charm.The actress just has a perpetual grimace-type face and a lack of emotion. I get that her character is closed off to love, but the actress just seemed like she's closed off to feeling in general. I also really hate to admit it, but I found her weirdly long eyebrows and awkward facial expressions so distracting. I know that's shallow, but I found myself spending more time wondering why she felt an almost unibrow was a good idea, than getting into her character. The actress just looked uncomfortable all the time, and as a result I felt uncomfortable watching her. I loved the male lead though, he has such a sweet and calming demeanor. He seems natural and comfortable. I wish he'd been paired with someone else tbh. I could've loved this movie with someone else as lead actress. Maybe Bethany Joy Lenz, Lacey Chabert, Erin Krakow, Merritt Patterson, Jen Lilley, Pascale Hutton, Jesse Schram, or Nikki De Loach. I usually enjoy the films with these actresses in them. The rest I'm honestly sick to death of or they're just really bad actresses. An actor or actress has to not seem like they're acting, even if they are playing a different personality. This actress seems like she's unhappy, forever frowning, angry, or miserable in her real life and that was reflected in her acting. She made it almost depressing and kind of ruined the movie for me.score 5/10
