Mary Nighy directs this, her first feature film. She had done shorts and tv series before this. There were many scenes that felt they could have been reshot as many details of the film feel like they were shot on the first take. Also, that last name might seem familiar and yes she's Bill Nighy's daughter. I wanted her to succeed if only because we have the same birthday.
Anna Kendrick plays Alice and the movie constantly shames her for working out and eating less. While on the other hand, Wunmi Mosaku's character is overweight and the film doesn't seem to think that's a problem. It's a big part of the film fills the time before they get to the real villain of the film. Her boyfriend is played by Charlie Carrick. He's another tv show actor and should stay there. He's unconvincing and lowers the quality of the film which each scene he's in.
The film was hard to get through. It's pretty bad. D+
