A strangely hypnotic and disquieting movie that creates a feather-light sense of dread a long time before anything particularly negative happens.
I suspect the characters are very nuanced but it was a but lost on me. They're certainly pretty charismatic and you can kind of lose yourself in its steady rhythms like a lava lamp, with its casual glimpses into lost humans or just for the way it seems to be some kind of holiday wish fulfilment.
The thing didn't make a particular coherent whole for me but I'm happy to acknowledge it was a bit over my head. It's a slow and breezy burn in the Mediterranean sun where rich people very gradually lose their cool.
I feel that what SHOULD have been the climax of the movie was not the seen as such by the writers and they kept going for another 20ish minutes in a way that adds nothing.
