Great production design, style and actors. For a while I went with this, hoping that it had a good pay off. But the pay off never really comes, they stuff the third act, bringing in terrific ideas (Gemma Chan's arc, Olivia Wilde's arc) and dismissing it in a scene.
Florence Pugh is compelling, Harry Styles very good, Chris Pine good. Actually everyone is but the film didn't ram it home. It doesn't leap over The Stepford Wives and it's basically a Stepford Wives riff.
