Review of Hawaii

Hawaii (2023)
2/10
Disappointing Viewing Experience
11 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
After eagerly anticipating this movie for four months, I must admit that I'm disappointed. I realize it might seem unfair for me to comment on this movie since my ability to understand French is limited, and the only parts I comprehend are the English lines. However, I genuinely want to share my thoughts and feeling about this movie.

Emilie's character in the film didn't meet my expectations. Normally I wouldn't care whether her role is endearing or likable, given I enjoy her work regardless of the role she takes on. But this time, It's a departure from the roles she's portrayed in the past, which surprised me. What puzzled (shocked) me even more was the inclusion of a nudity scene. I questioned its necessity within the context of the story. From my perspective, it didn't seem to add significantly to the overall narrative.

I want to clarify that my critique isn't a reflection on Emilie's acting ability; she performed her role well.

However, I felt that this film lacked humor that truly connects with the audience. It's not funny at all. And the inclusion of explicit scenes left me (very) emotionally uncomfortable.

I can hardly believe what I witnessed in a film I eagerly anticipated for four months. The watching experience felt more like a disaster than the missile alert at the beginning.
