Emilie and Ines are two sisters who tired from the life's troubles. In attempt tp make something different or forget their troubles, they decided to make a journey but they won't have a specific destination. They will travel and don't want to know where they 'll go.
For a film that literally isolates its characters from the rest of the world to confront each other head on, the drama plays more conventional than challenging.
Once the plot kicks in after the first reel, things head pretty much where you'd expect and all the sisterly bouts of love, hate and lamentation can grow rather tedious ...
The story moves from curiously intimate and mysterious but extremely repetitive to utterly unrelatable with its focus on über wealthy people -- a focus that hardly seems necessary given the themes.
The failing lies in the script, penned by Langseth, is clunky and overwrought, feeling the need to tell rather than show every hurdle the characters are going through.
Ines and Emilie have tensions between them which are uncomfortably alive, and Langseth's script is a gnawing reminder that, even when the date of death is set, family quarrels and resentments can still be corrosive.
Having established her premise and characters, writer/director [Lisa] Langseth does absolutely nothing with them, letting Euphoria drift through one scene after another without ever gaining dramatic momentum or emotional weight.
It is not simply that this film is utterly unrealistic... What is unforgiveable is that Langseth's approach to complex emotional issues is unsubtle at best and untruthful at worst.
