ANOTHER SIMPLE FAVOUR

This toxic friendship murd*r mystery is a sequel that never should have been made. Some films should end after their initial installment. I’m not even going to go into the plot – I don’t want to relive the trauma. While Anna Kendrick excels at comedy, Blake Lively does not. The location of Capri, Italy is stunning but the beautiful scenery isn’t enough to carry the weight of this cringey and absurd movie. The last half an hour beggars belief and crosses so many boundaries, going for shock value rather than any semblance of a decent story. No wonder it went straight to streaming – it would’ve bomb*d in cinemas. What rot!
