Far from expected

This movie, personally, is pretty much the second most boring movie so far besides Boyhood. The film is 104 minutes long, and after the 70th minute, I can't watch it anymore. The rest of the time is purely based on the appearance of the two leading actors, which is a little exaggerated. The whole film is supported by the acting skills of my cousin and Cooper. The content of the story is extremely bland, fragmented, and even a bit messy, and I don't know what to say. The whole film has poor continuity, like a piece that is not much related. To make it clear, it can be seen that the director put a lot of thought into handling the detailed part, but unfortunately it is not handled properly, and some places are too much to make the audience feel abrupt. In addition, since the title of the film is named after the heroine, it means that the heroine plays a very important role in this play, but I don't feel that way after watching the movie. I don't know that the director wants to portray the heroine. What kind of character does he become, and the selected cases are not particularly representative and show the personality characteristics of the heroine. In short, I feel that the images of the two main characters are relatively imaginary and not three-dimensional. However, the acting skills of the actors are really good, even if the story is not very good, the acting skills are really worthy of appreciation. The ending is also designed with depth. I always feel that the death of Cooper and the leopard in the last paragraph is symbolic. After all, Cooper wanted it very much from the beginning, and finally he found the whereabouts of the leopard, but he did not expect it. Set up by the jaguar, he and the leopard died in the end. Personally, it feels a bit like his marriage, because his wife serena also designed him, hiding from him that he wanted to kill his child, and in the end serena also died, and it was a lose-lose ending. Personally, what I want to say most after watching the whole movie is: procrastination. The plot is very slow, and it is very patient. It is comparable to the boyhood. If you are impatient, please be careful.

After "Dark Clouds" and "The Scam", another film made by the two of them joined hands. At the beginning, I was super looking forward to it, but then there were all kinds of difficult births... In the end, it ended with the reputation of a bad film.

JL and BC's CP sense is too weak, it should be the most enthusiastic part before marriage, and the coldness when looking at each other makes people play. JL's acting skills have not improved, and he is still the best selling madman of American scams.

[first lines]
Pemberton: Hell, that dog's bigger than that. I thought you said there were panthers here.
Galloway: I ain't seen a panther in these mountains for nine years.
Pemberton: What about the carcass we found up in Noland? Something mauled that.
Galloway: That weren't no panther. Chest weren't torn open. They eat the heart first.
Pemberton: You find me an honest-to-God panther to hunt, and I'll give you a $20 gold piece.
Galloway: If there's a panther still around here it's likely touched by the devil. They end up hunting you.
Pemberton: Well, I want one.

Serena: I think you've taken none months to do about six months' work. But a few changes should greatly increase profitability.
Buchanan: What did you find, wife or a partner?
Pemberton: Both.
