Wild Things for 2023... marred by Apple
19 May 2023
Stylishly, very good. An enjoyable romp. But also far fetched. The plot "twists" are seen a million miles off. We've seen this before in everything from the unloved "Best Laid Plans" in 1999, to "Wild Things" in 1998 and I'm sure many movies since.

That's not to say the film is without merit. While you're on the ride it's enjoyable, but it's only when you get to the end and after you predicted the twists you go "Wait, that bit doesn't make sense..."

I also have to complain a bit about Apple. You have the film, with some wonderful soundtrack choices. The movie ends with the inimitable late Nina Simone...and you choose to cut off her song with a trailer for another show.

Don't be Netflix, Apple. Respect your works. If someone has put in the effort to watch a movie then at least them see and hear it out.
