Title Lost in the Woods
I'm sorry, I wanted to like this, but that ending felt like I was cheated out of the 6 or 7 hours I spent watching this. There was no chemistry between the leads, and to leave the viewer with a weird dead lip kiss and nothing else felt contrived. I get that the masculine-presenting lead must have a had something in his contract that said he didn't have to engage intimately with his costar, but for the audience it felt awkward and dismissive. No, they did not need to do a full-blown NC scene, but an actual kiss and hug to show affection made perfect sense, and it never happened. The cinematography was gorgeous but I found that more interesting than the male lead's relationship. Just make a nature video in the future and leave out the fake romance of these two guys.
