### 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

48 heaving bosoms out of 100
