‘IF’ Review: Childhood Wonder Succumbs To Deep Melodrama In John Krasinski’s Latest Film
'If' Review: Childhood Wonder Succumbs To Deep Melodrama
Despite boasting a formidable cast, including Krasinski, Ryan Reynolds, Cailey Fleming, Fiona Shaw, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Steve Carell, and Louis Gossett Jr., the film fails to fully capitalize on its potential. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Blossom (Waller-Bridge), a furry purple creature named Blue (Carrell), and Calvin (Reynolds) who leads her on an adventure that reveals a hidden world of imaginary friends at Coney Island. Moreover, certain plot elements strain credibility, such as Bea’s solo escapades across New York City, or her bursting into the men’s bathroom in a highly guarded building in the middle of Rockefeller center all of which feels more implausible than adventurous.
