Consumerism criticism love story.
Rating: 7/10
First of all, I haven't read the book, which I heard was good. This
movie is more of a social commentary on consumerism, particularity in
the advertising industry and how everything is about projecting the
right image to make money.
The main story is about two advertising people are attracted to each
other, but are they attracted to the image that the other is presenting
or the real person behind it? There are some interesting anecdotes on
the nature of marketing being presented in the movie, which I find to
be the biggest draw of the movie for me. If seen from a "criticism of
marketing" point of view, the movie is "deep". There are layers to the
characters and story that requires a re-watch to get everything.
Overall, the movie achieves what it set to do. The story moves along at
a good pace, there were no boring parts. Amber Heard's acting outshines
the other actors. The not-so-big budget of the movie shows at times,
but it doesn't interfere it from being a good movie.
