Dan Levy is best known for creating the fabulous comedy Schitt’s Creek, but his first writing/directing/starring film eschews comedy for drama. He plays an artist who loses his husband (Luke Evans) in an accident. After more bad news, he takes his besties (Ruth Negga & Himesh Patel) to Paris for closure and solace. This film is all about Levy, his script is rather mundane & predictable with numerous long philosophical monologues (mostly for himself). Despite lots of the characters’ words saying so, his direction lacks much emotion. Actually, Negga is the only actor to create much of a personality and she sometimes seems to trying too hard. Earnestness is the byword here and while a few comic touches might have made it more palatable, the final result remains an exercise in dramatic self indulgence.
