We, the Leroys

It's really not my type of movie but it was funny and managed to avoid the usual clichés that this type of story usually rely on. It felt pretty realistic

It's a good movie overall because the acting and the cinematography are great but I felt that the scenario had some weaknesses. There's a lot of characters that we barely see, certain things felt a bit rushed and it left me with many questions that I feel should have been answered.
I still definitely recommend watching it, though !

Fary Is the New Black

Some parts were very funny, but I simply didn't vibe, nor agree with the need for some of the jokes

Love Between Fairy and Devil

It was long at times, and a little inconsistent but overall a pleasant watching. The main couple were so in love, it was lovely to see. I also really liked the character of Rong Hao. His motivation during the whole drama was so clear and understandable even as it lead him to loose his innocence. His relationship with his master was truly beautiful, and I think the ending they got was perfect . However, what's up with romantic dramas ending up so abruptly every time? Can't we get some time to enjoy seeing the couple in love now that they've went through all of the difficult times? This is very frustrating..
I also didn't really like the 2nd couple, who seemed to be there just to fill a gap. Even more frustrating when considering that Chang Heng and Danyin had such good chemistry, especially at the end of the show. Them ending together would have been a hundred times better imo

I was so conflicted about the 1st season, but I'm so happy that the people making the show seems to have heard criticism because it really elevated the narrative! Absolutely loved the friendship break-up between Tiff & Pete . It felt very real

Nimona

Very fun, heartfelt and engaging but it missed out something to make it truly exceptionnal for me. I highly recommend it, however

Big Dragon

It could have been good but it just felt rushed and the plot was all over the place

Isi & Ossi

Pretty cliché and not very original but watchable

The Wolf's Call

Good acting and interesting plot but I find the ending to be a bit unbelievable and I really, really don't understand why they broke the rhythm of the movie to push some useless romance with a female character that has no personality and is obviously only here to fit the old and overused "the hero get the girl" cliché.

Thunder Force

It's definitely not the best superhero movie but it definitely deserve better than the ratings it got.

A Monster in Paris

Well, this was super disappointing. I've always liked the songs from this movie and it looked so cute, I had high expectations. In the end, I couldn't even watch all of it, because I was so bored. Maybe I'm too old, and I would have liked this better as a child

LOL (Laughing Out Loud)

Honestly it's not particularly a good movie. I was a teenager when it was released and I thought it was not very relatable. But looking back, it does show a little bit of the aesthetics of those times

Love and Leashes

Such a perfect romance movie! It's so nice to see how fun d/s is for the two main characters. They managed to make it sexy but also pretty entertaining.
I'm very surprised because I genuinely didn't think it would be that fun to watch

Inventing Anna

Interesting show, well acted and well paced but I didn't like how Rachel was painted. No matter how much she used the story afterward to make money, she was still a victim. I felt like they were too nice toward Anna too. I get it, she's definitely interesting and someone from a low social class scamming rich people is a story a lot of us can get behind. But she also completely mistreated real people, who genuinely suffered from that. She's not some kind of Robin Hood

Mortal Engines

The universe is very interesting but the plot is super cliché. I also found it difficult to connect with the characters. They just weren't very complex... The humoristic lines (with the minions, for ex) fell flat too. I'm not sure where they were going with them ? It didn't fit the overall mood at all.
All in all, it's pretty bland but not so awful that I would tell people to stay away

Women at War (1939-1945)

Interesting, but I think it would have been better to be more detailed about some people or events. It felt like the narrator expected me to already know everything, and recognize the small hints that were given from time to time.
I also felt like women were continuously brought back to their roles as mothers. A bit ironic, considering that this documentary is supposed to focused on all women. What about the ones who didn't fit in this ideal to begin with ?

The Imperial Coroner

The story lacked a bit in the writing and acting areas, combined with an obviously low budget (the scene with the fake river was hilarious) but it also deserves to be praised for it's no-nonsense approach to romance and friendships. It was very lovely how the two main characters and their friends respected each other. They could have easily went down the road of a love triangle with Leng Yue, Chu chu and Xiao Jinyu but they didn't and it was far better for it.
Overall, it's pretty cute, but with a lot of untapped potential (probably because of its low budget).

Love Me If You Dare

I can't say I disliked watching this movie but I'm definitely very puzzled about what I'm supposed to take from this. I thought it was supposed to be a romantic comedy, which I guess is true except that the two main characters are absolutely awful to each other and to other people around them. At the very least, it's interesting to watch Cotillard & Canet in their early stage as actors...

We Are Lady Parts

Such a wonderful and hilarious show! The 1st episode pulled me in instantly and to my happy surprise, it just got better and better. I hope they're planning a 2nd season!

SK8 the Infinity

After seeing so many people being crazy about it, I decided to watch it. I expected something fun and not very deep like Free! (which I remember loving when the 1st season was released) but I wasn't able to watch more than the 1st three episodes and I was bored from the start to the end... Definitely a bit let down imo.
However, it's mostly a matter of taste. The animation is quite pretty so I assume people who have interest in skating might like it more than I did.

A Story of One's Own

This documentary tries (and succeeds) to question the decisions of French families to adopt children from other countries.
Very thought-provoking. I loved how it centered the voices of adopted adults, and would sometimes draw parallels between those stories and other older archives.
I can only regret, however, the images of dead Rwandan bodies when talking about the Tutsi genocide. It felt gratuitous.

The Last Word

Overall, it's an interesting story about the different shapes that mourning can take. The main character (Karla) was very interesting, I really liked that she wasn't very likeable at times. Some parts were hilarious and very satisfying to watch (the woman whose mother was abusive breaking down at the funeral for example) .
However, I didn't really understand what was going on with her daughter and had a bit of trouble getting into the 2nd & 3rd episodes.

Skam France: Season 7
Your Name Engraved Herein

This movie was good overall but it was sometimes a bit complicated to understand the links between some scenes. I also don't understand the point of the shower scene : it doesn't look like it was consensual and I don't really see what it add to the plot.

I wish that they had ended up together! The ending isn't bad, but I think it could have been lovely to see them trying to start smth new, even if only a friendship.

A Million Ways to Die in the West

Some jokes are funny but most have them fell flat and/or are stupidly offensive. There are some good ideas here and there but not enough to make it a good movie.

The Secret Life of Pets 2

It's not a bad movie but like.. the bad guy has a big nose, is named Serguei and has a russian/east european accent... I wish we would see less of that. Same for the message about anxiety that is borderline anti-therapy.

iZombie: 5x13 All's Well That Ends Well

A very disappointing ending, I must say. The fact that they killed Michelle just so Clive would get his perfect nuclear family is utterly disgusting. They could have written anyone else dying instead, any other officer, but of course they chose her. Gross.
The rest is just... a bit weird, a bit bland, a bit confusing. I don't understand how they keep pushing that narrative that a cure would solve everything since obviously, ton of zombies must still be trying to get revenge/tons of humans must still have anti-zombies feelings.
( Also I keep being put off by this thing of turning people into zombies because they're sick. Like, the children will never grow up? You get stuck living immortal lives? It doesn't sound appealing at all.)
Liv and Lilywhite ending up together is also disappointing. It felt rushed and too easy.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: 7x10 Admiral Peralta

Really disappointed that they would have a gender reveal party. I think that's a part of american trend/culture that should be quickly forgotten.

Roswell, New Mexico

This show is surprisingly very good. I say "surprisingly"because it seems a bit cheesy at first glance. However the scenario is actually really interesting and the characters are all loveable.
I was highly exhausted to see comments about "politics ruining the show", though. First of all... Everything is political. But also, the way this show talks about human rights just makes it more rich, more interesting. It's very sad to rate a show that low just because your poor feelings were hurt when you realized the show was trying to make you think about other human beings :(
