Blonde (2022)
A Lynchian Horror Masterpiece
People seem to think this is a biopic, this is entirely an error on Netflix's part. It is the legend of Marilyn Monroe reimagined as a Horror film in the style of St Maude, David Lynch with a healthy dose of the cinematic presentation of Wes Anderson.
If you're going into this expecting the usual biopic drama - you will be disappointed.
If you go into this expecting truth - you will be disappointed.
If you go into this with an open mind and pay attention to what the film is telling you then you'll see the greatness in it.
Every scene is in itself breathtaking to behold. Every actor is at the top of their game with the obvious leader being Ana De Armas who should be a shoe in for a best actress at the awards next year.
This Is Going to Hurt (2022)
A Perfect Adaption
I have just finished episode 7 of what I hope was the first series. I hope there is more to come. For anyone asking why it's set in 2006 or why is there fourth wall breaks, etc. Please see the novel, it's both tragic and hilarious in equal measures.
The cast are all brilliant and believable especially Ben Whishaw and Ambika Mod who's working relationship and experiences form the centre of the narrative. It's a show which shows the real side of the NHS in the UK, and this was before over a decade of disastrous cuts. I've now got tickets to see the author on his UK tour and I look forward to seeing more from him.
I Care a Lot (2020)
Why the hate bombing?
Brilliant acting, smart script and fantastic comedic set ups. There seems to be some kind of Vendetta against this film. People giving it 1 out of 10 must have gone there whole life without seeing actual horrible movies like Paris Hilton's Filmography, or the latest 20 years of Michael Bay.
