Review of On the Rocks (2020) by Silviacav — 18 Feb 2021
I'm a fan of Sofia's films, but this one is unwatchable. It is a mere attempt of revisiting the man/woman complicity we saw in Lost in Translation, mixed with Bridget Jones scenes, literally copied, and with a touch of Sex and the City.
Sofia's snobism is everywhere, in the details of the life of the protagonists, in the fact they mention restaurants and Clubs, in the quotes about the paintings or the painters, adding nothing to the plot but useful only to underline that "she knows".
There are at least a couple of inexplicable black holes in the plot that are uncomprehensible. Bill Murray does all, even if his character is so forced and above the lines that his brightness is in some way turned into ridiculousness.
Everything is so boring and predictable, what a pity.
