I didn’t see a trailer for this movie, I thought it was a horror movie, but watched something different.
The blended tones and mixing of rom-com tropes with wry humor and mystery mostly work well until the film makes a hard pivot to biotech horror. By the last act the script begins to resemble The X-Files, however the same implausibility that made that show a hoot, here unfortunately undermines the spell the film had successfully cast.
Despite some resonant themes, this playful thriller grows increasingly implausible, relying on twists that neither shock nor deepen the film’s exploration of unhappiness and regret.
Ryder is honestly the only shining light here. ... But she deserves better than the murky slog that is The Cow.
