She Came to Me (2023)

Considering the assembled cast, surprising good

[7/10 · 12 October 2023]

Considering the cast assembled on this project, AH, MT, anchored by a masterful performance by PD, did not expect this one to be quite as engaging, intriguing, as I found it to be. It was a bit predictible in places, stereotypical in others. And the muse inspirations for the 'operatic' interpretations... I mean, could it be any more obvious, in your face, what PD's is telling the world, or his 'wife' of convenience. She (AH's character) uses him at every turn, then makes excuses why she cannot 'be there'. But then refreshingly PD's character finds himself very nearly swept of his tiny legs and feet, if I may dare, by MT's character. Tugs the discordant young couple to DE of all places where they can elope and escape the statist stenographer step-father, even having the balls to float the word 'regime'. All things considered, you got couple hours to spend, not a disappointing performance. Could it be a bit less stereotyped, sure. Give it a strong C- D+ overall. Seen better especially these past couple of years, but also far, far, worse, by more than a few nautical miles.
