In the meantime, the Observer known as out “risk-averse” Netflix for “utilizing present IP to hedge their bets on their funding.”
Even constructive evaluations from IndieWire and AV Membership solely scored the film a C+, whereas The New York Occasions dismissed it as “a painfully lackluster retread desperately attempting to justify its personal existence.”
