I don't know what type of low-key acting is Dakota Johnson trying to pull, but she just looks like she's not even trying to act at all.

On the story side, the big problem is that the personality and alchemy with Pedro Pascal is not explored at all, and all we get is "sorry we're not compatible", without understanding why. The why provided by the movie is that matchmaking shouldn't be superficially based on metrics and facts, but on a deeper meaning of connection, which the movie completely fails to explore.

I certainly don't understand the ending as well.
