“I donu0026#39;t like stories when plot drags main character from scene to scene. It is simply boring no meter how interesting the shots look and the events are. Although Lilly James (especially her) and Joseph Keery are doing well and their characters have deep dynamics and overall arc conclusions, Rebecca Antonaciu0026#39;s main character is written so poorly that I started to get bored from lack of affection. The filmu0026#39;s content is very reminiscent of last yearu0026#39;s u0026quot;Babelu0026quot; by Damien Chazelle, showing both the sublime and charming side of the bohemian acting life, and its dark side: with hard drugs, deadly crazy parties and dangerous, envious people. But only u0026quot;Finally Dawnu0026quot; is inferior to u0026quot;Babelu0026quot; both in creativity, and in the degree of fun or danger, and in the vieweru0026#39;s attachment to the characters. All actions and events seem very primitive and formulaic, among which the main character, Mimosa, exists passively and gets out of situations by pure luck. The film would have benefited from a strong central character, building a narrative based on the decisions and actions taken. But in reality, we have a story that runs on its own, trying to push through ideas about overcoming fears and accepting oneu0026#39;s own imperfections, and that this is true beauty, but ultimately nothing works on an emotional level. Itu0026#39;s probably not a good thing to say, but itu0026#39;s better to watch u0026quot;Babel,u0026quot; since u0026quot;Finally Dawnu0026quot; can boast only a few interesting scenes and missed potential, which with such a cast could make the picture worthwhile.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOnce again, it is not a bad movie in technical way but it definitely needs a more active protagonist to be engaging in my opinion.”
