Mademoiselle Noir

Note: I almost want to go lower, but there was some artistry present, which I cannot deny.

I'm impressed . . .

With how disappointed I am.

The start was so strong, the cinematography consistently superb, and the dialogue snappy. But it was ultimately a steadily speeding, runaway train that made me feel burnt out by the end watching it!

Characters would say one thing with conviction in their eyes while doing another. Accountability or valuing yourself? Out of the question!

All I'm left asking is what a viewer is meant to glean from this?

Because here's what I got:

What even is freedom? Why strive and fight when you can just . . . Succumb. Lick the boot of the powerful capitalists above you with vigor and sacrifice your morality and passions for security and lust.

And, with all sincerity, I don't think that's what Burnout Syndrome meant to say in the end. Which means they completely failed in the execution of their message. And if it is . . . I can't find value in this.

I can't believe I'm saying this about an OffGun drama . . .

But I don't recommend it.
