What if the most spoiled person alive paid the Make-A-Wish Foundation to forget about kids with cancer and make all of her dreams come true? If you were born into a rich family that owns a castle in Scotland, and then you married an even richer guy with ties to both the movie industry and who also was a member of the largest government on earth, and then you also had a genie that could grant you 3 wishes, what would you do? I am pretty sure you would make this movie too.
This is a fever dream of a movie made by someone drunk on power, and its amazing. Auteur Theory confirmed, baby!
I'm 99.9% sure that this movie was not just a vanity project, but a way for someone involved in production to embezzle large sums of money from the US Government. As a proud American, I am happy to be a co-producer on this film. The New York Times reported that Louise Linton wears 42 outfits in this movie. Dang, I wonder where all of those costumes ended up after the movie was finished, probably with the producer. Who produced this movie you say, oh that's interesting!
I have seen this movie over 10 times, no lie. I still can't believe it. Like, Linton fills the movie with music from the 80s. Why? Just because she liked it growing and up and when you have unlimited money, you can do that kind of thing. I wish more rich people made insane movies like this as opposed to buying websites and running them into the ground.
Linton girlbossed her way into an extremely fun movie. The crew that was hired was for the most part all extremely qualified and true professionals. The movie itself looks like a million (stolen) bucks! Big props to the gaffer and their one Astera AX-1 8 bulb kit, you may not know that light by name, but by the end of the movie you will know what they look like. They are the neon blue and pink lights that are in almost every scene shot in the house. We love Bisexual lighting, dont we folks?
I really have a good time with this movie, and show it to everyone I can. We play a drinking game for it. Drink every costume change, drink whenever she breaks the 4th wall. In fact at a certain point, Ed Westwick meta-breaks the 4th wall while Linton is breaking the 4th wall. We call it, breaking the 16th wall. It's sublime.
