Robert Pattinson truly deserves more recognition for this – his performance was on another level. Playing multiple versions of the titular character, he delivers a nuanced, often darkly funny portrayal that carries the emotional weight of the film. In an age overwhelmed by reboots and endless franchises, it’s genuinely refreshing to see a new adaptation handled with such originality and vision.

Another propaganda film for women giving up their hopes, dreams and goals for a small town guy.
This film actually started off decently, but when said conflict between career and romance arises - the love interest shows a very cruel and mean side that his male ego has been damaged, instead of working together he dumps her. This is resolved two scenes later with a marriage proposal and ultimately leads to her quitting a stable career.
Terrible film and an even worse message.
