With a strong feel of feminine romanticism, each film faced criticism. Critics slammed Pattinson's performances especially, suggesting that he was only capable of playing parts in female-targeted genres.

He is being humorous and self-mocking. For example, saying ‘If I was just going after parts which seemed somehow relatable to my real life self it would just be consistently playing chronically insecure losers.’ He is still representing himself as relatable with realistic issues and thoughts.

Pattinson is dressed in a way that contrasts to his usual casual and relaxed style, wearing a slick black suit, shirt and silk tie, showing that his image has matured. It suggests a modern Pattinson, whilst promoting prestige. The advert portrays a romantic love story between the couple, an image that was first created of Pattinson in the Twilight franchise. It makes Pattinson appear desirable and lusted by women. The song used, 'Whole Lotta Love,' connotes ideas of rebellion and an 'us against the world' type of romance.
