Keeping a neutral tone, content producer Kevin Phoenix commented: “Mrs. Weber exceeded expectations!

But the actors really worked their magic.” , their chemistry is fun, and the suit looks great.”

Highlighting some of the film’s shortcomings, another person revealed that while Dakota Johnson’s performance was “outstanding,” the rest of the cast couldn’t live up to it.
