Toxic self-entitlement
In my personal view, the main character portrays quite finely and smoothly precisely the human typology that lacks depth, thrives on egotism and has no sense of humbleness and gentleness.
The way one only considers considering the ingestion of magic mushrooms, let alone actually doing that says a lot about a person. (At age thirty is unacceptable that someone living in our day and age can consider taking psylocibin without a higher intention and for healing purposes, just for the fun of it. For God's sake, you are not 14! ) That alone denotes a shallow way of going about life and what is sacred.
And then not to mention this entitlement regarding the men in her life, which goes to show her egotistical and self-centered manner in which she lives her life, where nothing is sacred and worthy of respect, except her own self. It is a pity, because the main character really had the chance to show us something higher, to transcend beyond the self-important, selfie society we live in. In that sense, it really is a slice of what life that accurately portrays our day and age. - daddysarm - 27 November 2022
genre = narciss-com
This is the 21st century womansplained to us, by a man, one of those men who seem to think they have to always try to think like a woman, because, well who knows?
All 4 stars I give are for the lead actress. She is excellent. Her character is a total mess, and she does a wonderful job delivering that. Her character, Julie, is a complete narcissist. Julie is also indecisive and has no idea what she really wants. So, life is always about Julie, but that doesn't actually mean anything. Julie could actually be fun in small doses, so the title is obviously ironic. But, small doses only.
Being about Julie, who has no focus nor direction, it is no surprise that the film suffers from the same faults. Thus, I didn't even finish watching it. It was not bad as far as I watched but it was obvious where it was headed. It was headed to 3 stars or 2 or ....
