Jean Reno shot scenes for the film, but was cut entirely from the finished film
A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much-younger intern..
Featured in Graham Norton i gosti: Nicole Kidman/Cynthia Erivo/James Norton/Chris McClausland/Benson Boone (2024)
The story centers around an egotistical, power-hungry, and narcissistic female CEO who cheats on her husband, plain and simple.
The film attempts to tell the story from the female perspective, prioritizing emotions over logic, romanticizing the situation, and even attempting to justify her actions
First it leans heavily into the "strong, independent woman" trope, portraying her as a victim of oppressive men who want to see her fail as CEO but that message later contradicts itself, suggesting that (some) women actually prefer being subjugated by their male counterparts.
Their mind say A but their feelings say B
This inconsistency not only confuses the narrative but also undermines its intended message.The movie also shows alot of the hypocrisy of the female CEO, possibly aiming to shed light on the complexities of the female psyche.
If that was the intent, it succeeds in some respects
However, the film remains overly romanticized, unrealistic, slow, and boring, making it difficult to stay engaged with.Ultimately, the movie seems to appeal most to a female audience, which likely reflects its target demographic.
