Overview
A happily engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails.
The film is unique in that it features two themes: Are there such things as thought crimes, and how far do we go to give someone another chance. I think the former was more interesting. After all, we all have bad urges. If you have a bad urge and you don’t go through with that, isn’t that a good thing? Isn’t it good that you caught yourself? If not, at what point does it go from a fleeting thought (which is presumably not as bad) to a more developed thought, and how much worse is that thought? While the question itself is interesting, I know my personal answer and this resulted in me having a somewhat difficult time with much of the rest of the film. The performances are great – Pattinson and Zendaya are fantastic.
