- The narrative shifts from a seemingly ideal meet-cute to a more sinister turn as Adam experiences increasingly aggressive female attention.
- The film is categorized as a 'social thriller' and is noted for its blend of dark comedy and its commentary on male privilege.
- While praised for its intelligence and Egerton's performance, the film faces criticism for its reliance on a convenient plot explanation and a trope-filled ending.
