Movie Review: Sofia Coppola’s ‘On the Rocks’
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
Every house has a man
An archaeologist dies, leaving behind his wife and daughter alone. A handsome man, a representative of the Antiquities Authority, visits the house. The mother likes him and he likes her, and they exchange love. However, the girl also likes him and tries to woo him. However, she discovers that her mother likes him, so she revolts against her mother and accuses her of being disloyal to her deceased father. The young man tries to distract her from her hostility towards her mother.
