I know I’m late to the convo, but I just got a chance to watch it and I thought it was a mindf*ck. **spoiler alert**
The cheesy sex scenes make so much sense given who wrote them, a sad, creepy old lady that probably never seduced a man. Both young Catherine and Jonathan seem almost comically horny through the old lady’s eyes. Her describing Jonathan as borderline virginal was creepy af, nauseating. Reading posts from when it came out, some people here really hated it. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I’m not here to change anyone’s mind. I am here to see if anyone has any idea why Catherine kept stressing out that the old lady knew “too many” details about room and locations. What do you think that was about? Also, many critiqued Cate Blanchett’s performance, but that scene when she says to the husband, “I wish I could forgive you, but you were relieved…” that scene broke me!
