All this while there is very little character development and no real incursion into the characters and their behaviour. The middle-aged characters have the most movie-cliche middle-age crisis, whereas the young twenty-something is critiqued for the instant-validation typical of her generation. Of course
Just like in Animal, this seems like a very well produced hit song lacking the depth of an indie first album.
