In the story, young couple Jack and Alice live in a luxurious mini-town, done in the style of the 50's. Their life is, in a sense, perfect. Every day the wives take their husbands to work at the same time. While the men work, their women, as befits a real housewife, keep the house clean, then go to do women's things, and in the evening they all sit around the holiday table and have a social evening.
It would seem that this is not an ideal life? But the audience, along with the main character played by Florence Pugh, realizes that there is something wrong here. Alice begins to ask herself questions such as: What do their husbands do at work? Where are all these groceries coming from? Who is really their boss? There are too many questions that the movie doesn't give her and the audience the answers to.
The movie, in my opinion, turned out to be extremely tedious, even the soundtrack leaves a lot to be desired. Quite a few moments where an ordinary scene is frankly dragged out. In the beginning the movie takes its bright and unusual coloring, you wonder how this whole world works, but as I have said before, when the movie drags on for a long time you don't care. Only towards the end of the tape does any interest emerge, but alas, even with the ending it somehow didn't work out that way.
Olivia Wilde, an outstanding actress, but a raw director so far. The idea of the film is not the most original, but it is interesting in itself. Unfortunately, the realization of the idea in this format did not appeal to me. In spite of quite an impressive cast, the film is not better. But in defense of the actors, it is banal that they were not allowed to reveal themselves for the sake of the script.
The movie is not bad, but I would not recommend it even for a single viewing. I found myself a victim of the film's promotional campaign. As a fan of Harry Styles, I thought he had exquisite taste not only in music but also in cinematography.
