The story is realistic, with real life problems some of us deal with on a daily basis, but there's nothing here we haven't seen in hundreds of other series and films. It's not so much Doremus and co-writer Jardine Libaire's (this is her first script) basic writing, but more the lack of taking it all to a more sophisticated level. He's proven before with films such as Like Crazy, Equals and Zoe, he can fully develop an on screen-relationship with the right script, but this time something's missing. Drake Doremus' newest film, tackles one of his favourite subjects - love. Life on the other hand has a way of making decisions for her, even when she's not ready for them. Unable to choose between these almost polar opposites, Daphne finds herself bouncing between them instead, enjoying the distinct ways each man sees her. Not long after, at one of her sister's parties, Daphne gets caught in a love triangle with a free-spirited bad boy (Sebastian Stan - Avengers: Endgame) and his more stable, scholarly best friend (Jamie Dornan - Fifty Shades Freed). Living in her sister's guesthouse, she regularly witnesses her sibling and her brother-in-law fighting, which not only aggravates Daphne's growing despair regarding long-term love, but on top of that makes her decide to take a "dating sabbatical". I wonder if the movie actually wanted to express that message or if that is just my interpretation.īad breakups, toxic behaviour and fear of your own thoughts, that's exactly what Daphne (Shailene Woodley - Big Little Lies) is dealing with in 'Endings Beginnings'. We girls are more like Daphne than we would like to admit. Who would do this? It's not just her child. Frank clearly mentioned he wants to be a dad. All she cared about was herself - not even in a good way, I must add - and that is something I can't accept. She slept with these two naïve idiots, not using protection, she didn't seem to want any of them to be around their child. I also didn't like how reckless Daphne behaved. Literally nothing positive came out of it. None of them had a background, none of them evolved during the story. Maybe that's way I didn't get the characters. It got nice colors and sets, but I always had the feeling I missed out on something. Like I mentioned above, the summary sounds interesting. But we all have baggage which hunts us, right? The plot. While I thought he was great on ONCE he did disappoint me for choosing 50 shades over it. The casting choices made aren't bad, although I have mixed feelings when it comes to Jamie Dornan. First off, the IMDb's summary is much more interesting than the movie. This movie made me so angry that I don't think I can watch a movie with Shailene Woodley ever again. This is a hipster melodrama of the boring kind. She does need a more discriminating eye for the material. As for Shailene, I applaud her attempts at being a little different than the constant MPDG. That may or may not be his fault but it is definitely unavoidable. With Dornan, I'm just reminded of 50 Shades and that's not a good thing. I don't care about them and I don't really know the guys. I have nothing to cling to with these characters. I would have quit after thirty minutes if it isn't against my policy. The hipster colorized text is harder to read and is simpler trying too hard. On a minor note, I don't like the text style. It's a lot of hot people having boring melodramas. Daphne is aimless and it makes for an aimless watch. The story is aimless which seems to be the point. She meets Jack (Jamie Dornan) and Frank (Sebastian Stan) at a party. She's living under her sister Billie (Lindsay Sloane) and her family. She's struggling to find a job and vows to stop drinking. Daphne Mirador (Shailene Woodley) decides to take a six-months break after a four year relationship with Adrian (Matthew Gray Gubler).
