The first hour was perfect. But then this movie started going downhill. It seemed to have gotten stuck on one track. The Apple love story bit was stretched beyond proportions. The lead actress did a pretty poor job. She didn't suit the role at all. There was hardly any chemistry between Pitt and herself. She was great as Hela in Thor Ragnarock but was very poor her performance wise.
The plot is very interesting. But only the first one hour and climax do it justice. Yes, the climax is very good. The movie should have been not longer than 2 hours. This is definitely one of the weaker Fincher films along with The Zodiac Killer. It seems like a mixture of FG and Big Fish but both those films are infinitely better than this. Was excited to watch this but the overdrawn middle portion and Blanchet's weak chemistry and acting brought this down for me.
