The Beautiful Lie (2015)
Casting fail big time
I would have given this series a much higher rating if it was not for the total casting failure of Skeet's character. Everything else was great in this series but why on earth would you cast such a non entity as Skeet is beyond me. There is no chemistry between the main actors, The actor playing Skeet is unable to bring any gravitas to the role, I don't even think he even read the book to understand who he was playing but ultimately this is a major casting director's fault. Why cast this actor?? They were on a very good thing and threw it all away by this single but very important mistake. Shame.
The Gilded Age (2022)
Wonderful series
This is a wonderful series, much better than Bridgerton or Downton Abbey. Well cast, wonderfully acted, amazing costumes, photography and directing. Great plot as well.
All in all, a series not to be missed.
Annette (2021)
Beautiful film allegory
What a beautiful poetic film. I think it's an allegory to Prince Charles & Diana story, beautifully and subtly (or not so) executed. The names, Henry (Harry) & Ann (Diana), Annette their baby, little Ann taking after her mother, the red hair, the big ears, the prison, the royal red prison clothes. But even if not, it's a beautiful, universal story of jealousy, envy and self hatred. Loved it!
Corazón salvaje (1993)
There will never be another tv series like this
This is a classic in every sense of the word! It is an absolute classic, a masterpiece. All the stars must have aligned to get a tv series so perfect. The acting of all cast members is superb, the protagonists are so perfect in their roles, it is hard to believe they are acting. The script of Maria Zarattini is very tight and flows in a perfect way. The book itself is not very good but the story line of this telenovela based on the book is perfection. I have tried for years to find another series that even comes close to this and I could never find one. I don't think it exists. So if you haven't watched this series yet, watch it and you are in for a treat.
