Watching this film was like watching a sexy painting. Beautifully shot and made, great acting, and a whole lot of sexual tension. It blended some really nice genre’s of the past, such as noir and melodrama. It had a really great cast that all felt very real and fun to watch. The music choices were fun. And there is a really nice little twist towards the end that definitely got me. It’s just not my go to type of movie. I do love the time period and different dramas like this, but for some reason it felt a tad slow and at times not as entertaining as I would’ve wanted? As a piece of art, it’s beautiful. As a film, it’s for me personally just not as rewatchable or game changing. 3/5.
