Personal Shopper

I wanted to give Personal Shopper a chance because Olivier Assayas won the Cannes Film Festival’s award for Best Director and Kristen Stewart won the International Online Cinema Awards (INOCA)’s for best actress.

The story follows Maureen, played by Kristen Stewart. She is a personal shopper for a celebrity and a medium. After her twin brother dies of a heart attack in Paris, she goes there to connect with his spirit and, in an effort, to deal with her grief. That mourning triggers an internal struggle to decipher what is real and what is not, especially when she starts receiving random text messages from an unknown person.

I liked the idea of the plot but the way it was carried out lost me pretty quickly. I couldn’t feel a connection to any of the characters and wasn’t really impressed with any of the acting. Additionally, there were parts of the plot that were unrealistic and not very clear, this leaving you to your own interpretation. It was a physiological thriller that wasn’t very thrilling. The cinematography was cheap and the delivery of the story was boring.

Overall I would say that this was a waste of time and would not recommend watching this movie.
