### Things I enjoyed

- Though not particularly 'dark skinned', Jacob Elordi is well suited to the role of surly sweaty gigahunk.
- An unashamed fanfic quality which I found amusing.
It honestly felt as if it had been dreamt up by a horny teenager on tumblr at points.

### Things I didn't enjoy

- The whole thing had a music video gloss which made the landscape feel incidental.
It felt like a set not something the characters actually inahbited.
Even when they were banging on the moors they didn't seem to get muddy.
This was a problem for me.
- Fundamentally, once you got past the visual glitz and knowingly executed tropes it felt completely emotionally empty.
Given that it's a film about the enduring power of passionate undying love this was also a major problem.

### Things that intrigued me

- Jacob Elordi doing the same accent as Christian Bale in The Prestige.

### Verdict
