The comparisons to Crash are rightfully justified with this cluster mess of thematically flawed plot lines, constantly smashing it in your face. And of course, it’s undeserved praise during award season.

It has a lot to juggle in its story and always manages to go down the most dullest path to explore the true message they want to convey across. Shoutout to this being shot in France, made by a Frenchman and half of it being about issues in Mexico. 

The film is tightly wrapped up in the first quarter, everything is solved and we get a glimpse into the world that Audiard wants to share and the deep state of thought we should all be within. Everything that happens after the quarter mark, is just a stretched out piece of pasta that has no weight or energy to mould itself into something remotely compelling or meaningful. 

On a musical side, the cinematography has that spark which is missing throughout, even then it is ruined by some misguided decisions. I’m not surprised everyone is buzzing about the Eurovision-esque song that Gomez performs, but is that really the best song of the year?
