Suze

When her only daughter goes off to university, an empty-nest mother gets stuck taking care of her daughter's heartbroken ex-boyfriend, whom she can't stand.
Moonshine says:
"Suze" attempts to weave a narrative that, while coherent, ultimately falls flat in terms of engagement. The plot, though serviceable, meanders without delivering any real tension or excitement. Character development feels superficial; we see glimpses of potential depth, but the script never fully explores these avenues. The actors do their best with the material they are given, but even their commendable efforts can't elevate the overall experience.
The performances are competent yet unremarkable, leaving little impact on the audience. It's as if each actor is operating within a vacuum, unable to connect with one another in a way that would breathe life into their roles. Unfortunately, this lack of chemistry contributes to an overall sense of detachment from the story.
As for entertainment value, "Suze" struggles significantly. There are moments that hint at intrigue or humor but they rarely land effectively. The pacing drags at times, making it feel longer than its runtime suggests. While it’s not entirely devoid of merit—some visuals and concepts show promise—the execution leaves much to be desired.
In conclusion, "Suze" is a forgettable entry that fails to resonate on multiple levels. It’s a film that may appeal to those seeking something light and easy to watch but will likely leave most viewers yearning for more substance and excitement.
