Jean Reno filmed scenes for the film, but they were completely cut from the finished film
Story
A high-powered CEO puts her career and family at risk when she begins a tumultuous affair with a much younger intern. The story centers around a selfish, power-hungry, and narcissistic CEO who cheats on her husband, plain and simple.
This inconsistency not only confuses the narrative, but also undermines its intended message
The film attempts to tell the story from the female perspective, favoring emotion over logic, romanticizing the situation, and even trying to justify her actions. At first, it leans heavily on the “strong, independent woman” trope, portraying her as a victim of oppressive men who want her to fail as a CEO, but this message later contradicts itself, suggesting that (some) women actually want to be subjugated by their male colleagues.
Their minds say A and their feelings say B
The film also shows a lot of hypocrisy in the female CEO, perhaps to expose the complexity of the female psyche. If that was the intention, it succeeds in some ways.
However, the film remains overly romanticized, unrealistic, slow, and boring, making it difficult to connect with
Ultimately, the film seems to appeal most to a female audience, which is likely a reflection of the target demographic.
