What If

Directed By: Michael Dowse
Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, Megan Park, Adam Driver, Rafe Spall
The Zeitgeist: Fresh69%

Charming leads can only take a film so far: What If lacks structure but not in a way that gives it zest and relevance: it just seems unfinished. The overall arc is fine but the dialogue seems rushed and almost like a first draft. The actor’s do their best but there’s not really anything they can do here. Also Daniel Radcliffe, unfortunately, doesn’t suit being a leading man. He’d work great as support but couldn’t carry this even with a better script. Zoe Kazan, however, seems one to watch for the future.

6/10
