His Three Daughters (2023)
Straight to my favorites list
As the youngest of 3 girls myself, I did find the premise of this movie intriguing. Despite some differences to my own life there were some terrific similarities. Like, how unique and wildly different each daughter is, like, how each daughter has a different responsibility and burden to carry in their birth ordered role, and like, how each daughter reacts and carries their own grief.
Everyone in other reviews have been pointing out how incredibly different they all are, and yet the father mentioned in the last act, the reason they fight so badly is because of how similar they are. Each daughter is a different fractured reflection of who and what their father stood for as a whole, which makes them more similar than they would like to believe. All forever tied together by their father's love and this experience of grief.
So many beautiful lines in this movie, beautifully delivered, peppered with dark comedy performed well and placed when needed. I can't wait to watch this movie again (and ask my sisters to watch it too).
At the start of the movie, the hospice assistant told them their father would leave when he knew they were all ok. And that he did.
The Greatest Show Never Made (2023)
This was not what I was expecting... in a good way!
I really enjoyed this crazy and bizarre story. If you like really interesting bizarre pop culture stories like I am, you'll love this docu-series.
At its core, this story is about the bringing together of some lovely but vulnerable young souls in the strangest of ways...and a few little lies- where the bad guy isn't always a bad guy. Maybe just a broken kid who was trying to make something of his life and unknowingly and irresponsibly dragged others down and under in his wake.
A side note, I really loved the production of this show, the recreation of the apartment was so clever and was a really fun way to tell the story. Kudos to the production team for that one.
The Whale (2022)
WTH did I just watch...
I was expecting such a great movie coming from Darren Aronofsky, but omg... this was bad.
The dialogue was weak and sounded like a lifetime movie.
There was zero character building and I didn't care for any of the characters.
There was literally no storyline, or anything to keep me intrigued.
My partner and I battled to the end, we kept trying to believe that there had to be SOMETHING Oscar worthy here, SOMEWHERE?! But no.
I'm the biggest blubbering mess when it comes to emotional portrayals, I have been known to cry watching 30 sec tv adverts... but this had me crying tears of desperation only. Please put me out of my misery kind of tears!
If you're reading this and you haven't yet finished the movie.... Turn it off... it doesn't get better.
Cruel Summer (2021)
It was....alright
Pros+
- Story at the start got me intrigued and left my guessing until the end.
- some great new and upcoming actors : Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut (who plays Ashley Wallis l, was by far the best young actress in my opinion.)
- loved when it was set, the clothes, music etc
- loved how the story was woven into different timelines
- I really liked how the approached and touched on the nuances of child grooming.
Cons-
- omg it dragggeddd onnnn! Some episodes were just plain boring (could have been done in 6 eps nicely)
- some of the acting and dialogue was laughable and cringey (but ok for a teen drama)
- boring side stories that didn't need to be told and felt like it was trying to touch on hot topics just for the sake of it.
Side note: don't know why so much hate for Mallory character / actress - her character was suppose to be a little annoying and her acting wasn't any worse than any other actor in the show! Yes she looked a little older but I did go to school with other girls who looked far older than they were, so who cares. The parents looked too young too, but it's a teen drama, what do you expect?
I Care a Lot (2020)
Clearly people don't like women playing a villain
What's with the bad reviews?! I'm a huge movie buff and freakin loved this movie, start to finish. believe the user reviews must be some kind of sabotage ?! Maybe some male rights group got their knickers in a knot about it?!
The movie was brilliant, clearly people don't like female leads portrayed as villainous. If it was a man in the lead role I'm sure there would be a totally different tone to this movie user review section. Rosamund pike was phenomenal. Watch it and make your own mind up.
