Jean Reno shot scenes for the film, but was cut entirely from the finished film
Chronology
A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much-younger intern.. The story centers around an egotistical, power-hungry, and narcissistic female CEO who cheats on her husband, plain and simple.
This inconsistency not only confuses the narrative but also undermines its intended message
The film attempts to tell the story from the female perspective, prioritizing emotions over logic, romanticizing the situation, and even attempting to justify her actions. First it leans heavily into the "strong, independent woman" trope, portraying her as a victim of oppressive men who want to see her fail as CEO but that message later contradicts itself, suggesting that (some) women actually prefer being subjugated by their male counterparts.
Their mind says A but their feelings say B
The movie also shows alot of the hypocrisy of the female CEO, possibly aiming to shed light on the complexities of the female psyche. If that was the intent, it succeeds in some respects.
However, the film remains overly romanticized, unrealistic, slow, and boring, making it difficult to stay engaged with
Ultimately, the movie seems to appeal most to a female audience, which likely reflects its target demographic.
