Jean Reno filmed scenes for the movie, but they were cut entirely from the finished film
A high-powered CEO puts her career and family at risk when she begins a passionate affair with her much younger intern. Featured in Graham Norton i gosti: Nicole Kidman/Cynthia Erivo/James Norton/Chris McClausland/Benson Boone (2024).
The story centers on a selfish, power-hungry, narcissistic CEO who cheats on her husband, plain and simple
The film attempts to tell the story from the female perspective, prioritizing emotions over logic, romanticizing the situation, and even attempting to justify her actions. It first leans heavily on the “strong, independent woman” trope, portraying her as a victim of oppressive men who want to see her fail as a CEO, but that message is later contradicted, suggesting that (some) women actually prefer to be subjugated by their male counterparts.
Her mind says A, but her feelings say B
This inconsistency not only confuses the narrative, but also undermines the message it is intended to convey. The film also showcases a lot of the CEO’s hypocrisy, possibly with the goal of shedding light on the complexities of the female psyche.
If that was the intention, it succeeds in some respects
However, the film is still overly romanticized, unrealistic, slow, and boring, making it difficult to maintain attention. Ultimately, the film seems to appeal more to a female audience, which likely reflects its target demographic.
