Some nice pictures.
The colours the actress and landscapes wear on screen.

This film is nothing more than one comedy among a myriad where a character, preferably a very cute woman or young man, goes out of comfort pursuing something only to experience a collection of annoyances before ultimately learning something (about themselves, realizing the stupidity of the wish, etc).
-:
There is not the slightest laugh to have over the course of this film, as tedious to watch as a donkey refusing to move could be infuriating. Most of those things weren't funny in other movies, they won't be here. Or they were because those movies pushed it further, had a sense of tempo and other qualities this one is devoid of.
And the actress can't make a difference here: she's simply not fit for laughs, only succeeding in selling the heroin's weird "innocence" (the hormonal blinding, usually attached in films to adolescents and very young adult characters, that excuses their very childish behaviour/reasoning).
Score: 4/10
Enjoyment: 1/5
The raves about it and its critical success seem to be born out of desperation in the mid of the CoVid year.
The best part of watching this was to read a review stating that the film might be "morally questionable", featuring a "complicated and dark dilemma".
Recipe to invoke Rohmer in critics mouth:
- a slight play on colours (clothes and backgrounds)
- nature.
