Another good series. Can't wait to see season 2.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
amazing graphics and animation! also so many cool female characters and interesting storyline
Most Netflix Originals based on existing content tend to be garbage. Thankfully this is one of the few times they did it justice. A quality series that is just different enough to stand out/ Plus my daughter liked it a lot
A different take that works. A little bit informative, great style and nice animation. This new series is good for little ones as well for adults.
I am not the biggest fan of animated movies with a lot of singing. However, this time I think I can overlook it. The songs were well done and fit into the story well. The characters were cute and had their own personalities. The animation was great. Story-wise however, it was a little cliched. But overall, a great family movie.

This movie kept my interest, but if it were set in the US I'm not sure that it would have. The ending kind of made me question what the ~moral~ of the movie was: that people are all the same and that misogyny is just a coincidence, just a flip of a coin? That women somehow deserve it because of the state of things in another world?? I'm really not sure. It was also kind of unsatisfying as a story -- I wanted to see Damien have a "wow I'm a good guy now!!" moment in our world.
Random aside: As a girl with a big nose, it was nice to see lots of men and women with similar noses in this movie. My people! ♥
Saw this movie yesterday and absolutely loved it. I don't really think it's suitable for small children though, the humor is dark from time to time. Reminded me of Tim Burton's work mixed in with some 'a series of unfortunate events' vibes. Fun, heartwarming and a little dark.
"The Truman Show" dares to question the reality. It's original, complex, and philosophical. It manages to make you feel truly frustrated and claustrophobic.
Perhaps many of us can relate to Truman as we live in a time of routines. We often live our lives without giving a second thought to the simplicity and meaninglessness of life itself. Our limited perspectives keep us from seeing. The lies we are told keep us from the truth. If we could push the boundaries of our reality, what are the odds that we'd face what Truman faced in the end?
It was a joy to watch "Jim Carrey" as "Truman", it is yet another proof that Jim isn't just a comedian.
...People had more than they needed. We had no idea what was precious and what wasn't. We threw away things people kill each other for now...
Unexpectedly delightful. Like Clueless meets Veronica Mars.
About halfway thru the first episode, I was about to give up on this show, but something made me keep watching. And I'm glad I did. It's actually quite funny. The 2 girls (fraternal twins) who fell into bounty hunting, are quite fun to watch. I'm only about 3 episodes in so far and can't wait to see what new shenanigans they get in to next.
Update: I've only been watching this 1 show at a time. But with each show, I find that I enjoy it more and more. Especially the twins - they just crack me up. There's a BIG twist at the end of season 1.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Binged in a day.
Tatiana Maslany can fit hours of complex emotions into 20 minutes and you feel every beat. This short film is a real tease, it makes you long for more of the story. Great job. I give this film an 8.5 (great) out of 10. [Drama]

Just like a werewolf is two entities in the same person, Good Manners is two films in one (and if that was done on purpose, then respect).
The first half of the film is the beast during the day and is easily the better film (at 2 hours and 15 minutes, I wasn't kidding: this film really is 2 films in 1). It's subtle, keeps us guessing and is marvelously performed. The second part/film is the animal half and, while the CGI is above par and there is more action, it never really escapes from the chains of cliche that hold it down. It's entertaining to be sure, but it leaves us hungry for the finesse we had at the beginning. (If you see this film, my advice would be to leave when Clara is with the 'package' at the side of the river.)
Overall, Good Manners succeeds most when it eschews genre, but is definitely worth a watch.
A really gripping and emotive drama, its best with the subtitles on and original Flemish voice for the full effect. A great show well worth watching!
Being dutch i mostly never care for our own languaged tv shows cause they are mostly never as good as the english ones. Well this one is truly a gem! It's typical dutch with boobs and sex haha and great writing and a great cliffhanger. Can't wait to see season 2.
USA USA. No thanks. Removing from sickbeard. Only wish I could delete the memory of this show from my head.
Over cheesy lines
Bad accents
Terrible stock footage
Cliche
Usa rammed down my throat
Religion rammed down my throat
Excellent movie - Shows a realistic portrayal of how intelligence services works (by the Cubans). Of course, I'm sympathetic to the mainland Cuban plight, being bullied by the 'Land of the Free'. Probably why this movie has received a low rating is the disapproval by the mindless zombies in America.
"Not everything is fleeting."
Indescribably beautiful in every way. Sciamma knows exactly when to linger and exactly when to let go. This is a film that is in complete control. It doesn’t just depict the longing, the love, the heartbreak; it gives the audience permission to experience these feelings with the film. It allows us into these moments in such delicate and masterful ways, that we are swept up into the romance along with Marianne and Héloïse.
Its interesting how many shots in this movie could exist in the latest artsy horror film released by A24. But in the context of this film, they don’t horrify the audience; they haunt us. They haunt us both despite and because of their beauty. They haunt us in the same way as Orpheus’ last goodbye to Eurydice.
"Turn around."
so im just supposed to go on with my life after this?????????
HAROLD, THEY'RE LESBIANS!
Season 2 did not disappoint, excellent show throughout for me, not sure why everybody keeps commenting on the (bad) acting. I watched it in Portuguese with English subtitles and had never thought about acting until I read the comments here, so not an issue for me. I do know that the English dubbing is awful, so maybe that's ruining it for you. Just give it a try in its original language.
Season 2 opened up the plot so cleverly and beautifully, I can't wait for season 3 (will there be one? IDK). Just awesome show, one of only 2 shows rated at 10 for me. Go watch it! :)
Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black, American Pie) is trapped in a Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadooloop until she learns to swim, and catches the rhythm of the strokes..... COMPLETELY clichéd, but oddly watchable, if only for the creative ways she keeps managing to off herself, in spite of desperately trying not to.
I love Natasha Lyonne so much.
This was a wild ride from start to finish. I loved every minute of this (even if it leaves with some questions like "I need to know!!")
This was freaking FANTASTIC! Hilarious, great action, fun magic, a huge universe backstory, and so much amazing friendship! I think Netossa and Spinerella were a couple and it's too bad we didn't get to see more of them before the final season 1 episode! It was so funny when Swift Wind started talking like that! There are parts of this season that feel a little like Steven Universe or Avatar: The Last Airbender but I think that's more because these are all Hero's Journey stories with Found Families rather than because of an overt copying of ideas. 10 stars!
The episode turned out better than expected tbh, but all in all there's still so much wasted potential.
I can't believe they just killed the Antichrist by traveling back in time and running him over with a car. It's just so cheap.
I also don't really understand how the two kids with extraordinary genes from the first episodes managed to birth the next Antichrist and what even made them special in the first place (I saw theories they might be the alien children from Asylum but I doubt the writers even thought that far), what the point of Coco's power was, why Mallory was the most important character but was so bland and had no real development or why we even had a whole Murder House sequel episode when it's all undone again now anyway. Just to throw some unsatisfying things out there. Though the most unsatisfying thing has to be the Antichrist - How can anyone take him seriously after we know he's basically just a 6 year old who feels abandoned by mommy and daddy?
Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call.
Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references.
These people still exist today.
They still have their rallies.
They still have their marches.
They still murder in uniform.
And they still hold these abhorrent views.
I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there.
Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.
This could have been a very good show. Sadly its a bit ruined by beeing so "american". Bad dialog and "superheroes" from murica.
probably still going to watch it tho..
The plot is not good; it's cheap and uses very offensive stereotypes, but is some of the best military porn I have ever seen.
