Jean Reno filmed scenes for the film, but they were completely cut from the finished film

Synopsis

A powerful CEO puts her career and family at risk when she begins a passionate affair with her much younger intern. Seen in Graham Norton in Guests: Nicole Kidman/Cynthia Erivo/James Norton/Chris McClausland/Benson Boone (2024).

The story revolves around a selfish, power-hungry, and narcissistic CEO who simply cheats on her husband

The film attempts to tell the story from a woman’s perspective, prioritizing emotion over logic, romanticizing the situation, and even trying to justify her actions. It initially relies heavily on the “strong, independent woman” stereotype, portraying her as a victim of oppressive men who want to see her fail as a CEO, but this message is later contradicted and suggests that (some) women actually prefer it, being oppressed by their male colleagues.

Her mind says A, but her feelings say B

This inconsistency not only bogs down the narrative, but also undermines the intended message. The film also shows a lot of the hypocrisy of the female CEO, perhaps with the aim of shedding light on the complexities of the female psyche.

If that was the intention, in a way it succeeds

However, the film remains overly romanticized, unrealistic, slow, and boring, making it difficult to hold attention. Ultimately, the film seems to appeal primarily to a female audience, which is probably reflective of its target audience.
