It's kinda the first film they've made about a middle class character? I liked that wringle. I doubt it's worse than those films they made before The Pledge which everyone says are absolutely awful, but yeah, it was a bit disappointing. I don't know if it's 'white saviour', but it's disappointing that the immigrant girl is basically only there to die so that the white character can realize stuff about herself. It is kinda the same plot as in The Pledge, but that film made a point out of really delving into the immigrant experience, which this one doesn't.
