Patrick (2018)
Lovely dog!
Love dog films but this really was a struggle to watch. The acting by the lead actress was just dire... Over acting and just not very good. Loved the little dog. The script was not great but that would have been OK if the lead actress had been even a bit believable. Not seen her in anything before (nor since!) but it was truly awful. Loved Patrick though. They had a lot of well known actors in it but it still didn't save this abomination. Maybe children might like it...
The Honourable Woman (2014)
Too long and complicated
Persevered and managed to get through it but my God it was hard going. The American actress who played Nessa was dreadful, monotone and wooden, she showed no emotion except bursting into tears in virtually every episode. The actress who played the Palestinian was so hard to understand , we had to keep rewinding to try and catch what she was saying. It might be authentic to use foreign actresses but it would be nice if they spoke clearly and it doesn't help that they speak in a half whisper. The plot was good although made way too complicated and long.The 'Nessa' character just seemed to be too tolerant and good to be true after all she went through, it just seemed unrealistic.
