Christmas with a View (2018)
Boring and Uninspired
This is a really terrible movie, tbh. The plot is boring, the characters are rude to each other and possessive. There are long shots that make no sense to keep but are there, a lot of awkward or unnecessary dialogue, just really really sad. A lot of secondhand embarrassment while watching this.
Mudbloods (2014)
Great Representation of Quidditch
As someone who is part of the quidditch community, this movie is extremely exciting to watch. It is also very approachable for non- players because it explains the rules and accurately follows the struggles and excitement that quidditch teams regularly face such as fundraising, paying their own money toward their team, and criticisms. Alex Benepe's speech at the beginning of World Cup made me tear up a little bit because I definitely relate to that.
The biggest problem that I had with it was definitely the random Harry Potter fan. She doesn't have anything to do with quidditch and the Harry Potter fandom and quidditch community are extremely separate. The whole time she is on the screen I am just confused and taken aback. I feel that they definitely could have spent some time looking at other aspects of the sport that I felt was inaccurately used on the fan and I honestly wish I could get a version of the movie that did not include the fan.
Overall it is extremely well produced and edited and the graphics, music, and angles very appropriately enhance the experience. Definitely recommend!
