Affection Review: Jessica Rothe’s Sci-Fi Mystery Can’t Live Up To Its Initial Promise

While the beginning of the film shows a lot of promise, the rest doesn’t quite deliver. The movie is most effective when it’s subtle and mysterious, but it loses that spark when it tries to become more direct and explore ideas it isn’t fully prepared for. This leads to an inconsistent and noticeable drop in quality. Though Jessica Rothe gives a strong performance that keeps you somewhat engaged even when the film slows down, it ultimately falls short of the initial excitement. Overall, despite some good moments, the film didn’t quite live up to expectations.
