“Not everything should make you feel comfortable.”
The line is a provocative punctuation mark of the trailer Luca Guadagnino' After huntingbut that could also serve as a warning for viewers who sit down and star in the latest movie of Sweetheart in America Julia Roberts.
After allegations about Yale PhD, #中文化博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博取博� student(Bear' Ayo Edibiri)professor(Andrew Garfield) Put Robert's Alma Imhoff and the audience in an uncomfortable position. Is she a backup student? She came to her when she needed it, or was her supportive friend, who claimed she had already established after she exposed the plagiarism of the young woman?
It's a compelling premise – designed to interact directly with one of the toughest themes of the moment for movie stars, beloved character actors, and directed by one of the most important filmmakers at the moment.
Critics don't seem to like it that much.
Make a name for himself at the premiere of the Venice Film Festival, After huntingIt is expected to be a serious Oscar contender, at least Roberts' fourth-time Oscar nomination vehicle, about to get into trouble with critics. The film currently has only 31 reviews recorded on Rotten Tomatoes (evaluated on binary or negative binary only), and currently has a 52% rating, while its Metacritic score (taking into account more nuances) isn't better at 54.
Gold Derby users have noticed. Roberts' ranking among Best Actress and best film in the movie both dropped double-digit percentage points in the days since its premiere.

What's wrong?
It can go back to that line from the trailer. There is nothing in design After hunting It should make the audience feel comfortable. All characters are flawed and most people have something to hide. Say the movie doesn't offer clean resolution, but it's not necessarily a spoiler After hunting It is best to avoid using PAT solutions. However, the length of the film associated with plot and characterization avoids a teaching path that leads the audience seems to make a little colder for a few people who have actually seen this Lover.
But again, this may be the design. From beginning to end After huntingCharacter Commentary They know very little about Alma, and Roberts' performance reflects this. She was turned off, the laser focused on achieving her tenure goals and was reluctant to offer anything emotionally that could hinder this way. It was an impressive performance, especially from the stars whose characters are so glowing. (Roberts does get one of her signature laughs. But you have to give people what they want.) Alma is far from Erin Brockovich, which makes her fun as Roberts’ character, but rarely attracts the audience to her feel agnostic, and worse, worse, bad.
A more thorough evaluation of how to respond After hunting The odds that affect Roberts in Best Actress will have to wait until the public has a chance to see it in October, but even if the movie’s reviews don’t improve, they may not be enough to ruin the campaign.
The Best Actor and Best Actress Candidates survive the critical response of the split, with the most recent example being the redemption victory of Brendan Fraser whale (64% fresh rotten tomatoes). In actresses, you have to go back Meryl StreepRecent Victory Ms. Iron In 2011 (51%), precedents exist.
Again, the heraldic schema is just a measure of consensus. A film that honestly involves allegations of sexual assault may not be universally loved. This is the essence of the problem. Whether voters can go beyond a tough movie to vote for its core performance may come down to their discomfort.
