Zoe Kravitz (ZoeKravitz) stars in and executive produces a gender-flipped Hulu reboot of 'High Fidelity.' Read the review:
, the 2000 John Cusack vehicle about a music snob in denial about just how badly his most recent breakup has shaken him, is to realize we've never left it behind.
Other than its Brooklyn setting, the reboot hews claustrophobically close to the film. The show begins with Rob talking to the camera mid-breakup, as her now ex, Mac , storms out the door. Bearing the brunt of her ill temper the next day are her two employees, mumbly Simon and aggro but insecure Cherise . Mopey but horny, Rob counts down her "all-time, top-five most memorable heartbreaks" while taking on a couple new lovers: clean-cut Clyde and rocker Liam .
Over the 10-episode season , Rob tends to her heartache like a horticulturalist to a bonsai tree, constantly shaping and reshaping it into ever more bewitching, and perhaps more unnatural, forms. Cusack's Rob talked and talked to avoid confronting his own feelings, but the structure of a two-hour movie meant he had to shut up at some point to get on the road to redemption.
Despite a proficient lead performance by Kravitz, the two best episodes are the ones where she lets others shine. Parker Posey guest-stars as a vengeful wife seeking to sell her cheating husband's treasure-filled record collection to Rob, and though the episode ultimately reinforces what a tepid creation our protagonist is, Posey's performance provides fireworks in the middle of a long gray night, while the writers explore the area of the Venn diagram where fandom and misogyny meet.
