michelle yeoh is very not—funny, which i think works really well.d thing is that although certain bits of the construction of the drama are a bit creaky — i mean, if you know rom—coms, it does take all the familiar rom—com traits, it's not sort of breaking new ground in terms of its narrative, but it's being played with — it's breathing enough new life into those old riffs to make them work. and also the narrative was going off into areas, into darker areas than i expected. because, on the one hand, there is all of this wealth and stuff going on but the whole attitude is, this is not a great thing, these people are scary people and, you know, there are battles that have to be fought. and also, as the characters reveal their back stories, there were surprises. there were genuinely things, i thought "oh, i really didn't think the movie was going in that direction." so i confess i went in with my slightly sniffy critic's hat on thinking, "yeah, 0k, impress me. make me laugh" and it did. and not only did it make me laugh, towards the end, it made me cry
