Still as great as ever, though I still love 1 best. This season Gaia Girace recedes in screentime to full supporting now and I miss her quite a bit (even if her Lila-focused showcase in episode two is the season's highlight), but I think turning the spotlight more fully to Elena makes me slightly prefer 3 over 2, as the focus helps enrich both her character and story with the time it takes carefully to develop them. Man, those last three episodes are like watching a slow-motion trainwreck happening in real time; I really thought from the premiere's ending that Elena would get over Nino for good already. Another reason I miss Girace is that it seems from the last scene they finally are going to switch the actors for the final season now, so this is probably her last turn out. Necessary though since as good as they are, their characters' age is starting to speed past both Girace and Margherita Mazzucco already. Can't wait for the final season, then I'll start reading the books.
Really the enjoyed the third season. I think it's at least on par if not better than the first two. Jaime was a great addition to the cast and Kano (Sully) really killed it considering he is not a trained actor.
Is it just me or does it seem like this show is losing steam? Or maybe it's just a few bottle episodes to save money to pay Melanie?
I am Ukrainian and I claim that this movie is complete propaganda
It was nice to watch a movie where I didn't need to use my brain. This was 100% predictable and you knew who the killer was as soon as you saw him on the screen. But I needed something where I didn't need to think tonight so this delivered perfectly.
All I can say is, poor Pia! Dad and mom both want her dead, and do everything they can to ensure it! OK, he's not her real dad, but he thinks he is, and because he raised her, he should act like a real dad.
And nothing against Anders Andersen personally, but a poker face is a terrible curse for an actor.
No depth, no excitement and nothing new. Feels like some school project made in a hurry.
It could be a very good movie. But it isn't. In the end you understand how powerful this movie could be and how poor it was made. Even The Human Centipede is better than this. Maybe it will serve as inspiration to others make a good movie.
Most unrealistic part of this entire episode ? The soldier placing an international call, on a god damn public pay phone, without even inserting any coins !
What even was that, like they couldn't have him call from a landline in the bar or something less dumb ?
The Great Indian Kitchen (2021) • Movie Review
Jeo Baby directed the great indian kitchen is hard hitting social commentary on the patriarchal society in which we co-exist even in the 21st century. Its not made for entertainment but is meant for a reformation which is very much urgent. A must watch for if you are a man.

This documentary about the 800 km / 500 mile hike to Saintiago de Compostela is a nice little jaunt, even if it is a little flat and doesn't go very far.
That said, not gonna lie, I got choked up listening to some of the hikers' tales of sorrow and loss. Hey, I may be a dick but I'm not a monster.
There's a good and interesting story/movie/miniseries to be made of Norwegian Crown Princess Märtha's efforts and influence in the White House/on FDR in the run-up to the U.S.'s involvement in WWII when much of the nation still saw it as "Europe's problem," but this ain't it.
Started OK enough but quickly goes downhill from there, slowly transforming into a full-on soap opera before your very eyes (FDR's secretary/side-piece catches FDR planting one on Märtha while she's, what, scuttling around the White House, storms out of the room as Märtha chases after her and the secretary freakin' has a gd stroke and dramatically falls to the ground in the middle of the White House hallway puhhhhleaze)
Kyle MacLachlan so terribly miscast as FDR, who so couldn't pull off the weird hammy tone they were taking with the FDR character. Every scene with FDR just brings the show to a screeching halt that made me question why I was continuing to watch this show
Also can't get over the weirdass way royals wave
As patriotic and monarchist as this show is, it's very odd that they wrote Olav as unsympathetic as they did. Not sure why the audience is supposed to cheer for Märtha and him to get back together. I think she should be inspired by Eleanor instead ;)
I kinda dig this one. Creepy horror fantasy about a young woman who's still haunted by the incident of the accidental drowning of her twin sister long time ago. She becomes self destructive and she doesn't seem to have a good relationship with her parents. One day she returns to her parents' home to help with their moving, but she finds herself drawn to another dimension where she thinks her sister may still be alive. This is Carlson Young's first role as a writer/director and she definitely crafted something really interesting here. An exploration of unresolved trauma through visuals. I admit that this film falls short in a few aspects but it also has a lot of things to admire and I can appreciate the ambition. It's very striking visually with nightmarish imaginary world, vivid imagery, and amazing lighting that keep me hooked. On top of that, the kooky score perfectly fits the picture and there are some fun references too. I'm interested in whatever she does next. Adding extra star for Udo Kier.
Haunting, breathtakingly unique puzzle box from Stephen King and Pablo Larrain that has all the hallmarks of both at their best. Great performances from across the board - and whilst King stories tend to fizzle out with a whimper rather than a bang, the signs are strong for this on that it won't suffer the same fate. Dane DeHaan is appropriately sinister, and the high-budget production makes it look better than most movies.
wow, I'm impressed, quite a season!
The premise of the show doesn’t make any sense. Debris are falling from a spaceship that blow up. But each debris has a special power. So every inch of space ship is designed with a magical special power. How is that even possible. Literally every inch of meta they find does something different & has powers that has no correlation to one & another. Something to play in the background. Doubt this will get season 2.
Over-stylized garbage. I don't like this at all. It's painful to sit through and has no redeeming quality whatsoever. I bet the director thinks he's the horror film savior offering something groundbreaking the genre or something. It's boring, plodding and doesn't really go anywhere, if it does it takes forever. The script is shallow and poorly written, the characters are annoying constantly making dumb choices without any good reasoning, the unecessary editing choices, some are cool but it's not enough. Not a single soundtrack or should I call it random noises fit the picture. I was waiting for the "surprise" but there's none. I didn't feel any suspense at all, just confusion and frustration.
This show is so saccharine. I can feel my teeth melting out of my skull!!
sorry but terrible acting !!! beside that the presentation of turkey was not good, yes im a turkish guy and i have restrict parents but i was uncomfortable about that.. Lets talk about cinematography!!! guys you really filmed turkey and decided to shoot only steppe, turkey is not like that yeah we are a multifarious country but i think you could show some good-looking places.
ANYWAYYY QUEER REPRESENTATION!!!!
La Première Marche / The First March: Like watching your little brother in a talent show, not everything is technically perfect, but technically perfect isn't everything.
In 2019, five LGBTQ+ university students who live in Paris's most 'no-go' suburb decide to organize the first pride march not just in the embattled St Denis, but the first march outside of Paris proper. This documentary follows the group from the inception of the project through to the actual demonstration.
While there is some filler in this 70-minute documentary, the journey from the first civic meeting where fewer than ten guests speckle the auditorium to the jam packed streets of the march itself make this sincere and optimistic film a joy to watch.
June is starting to become like Aunt Lydia
dumbest episode. made it seem like FBI agents are really emotional and incompetent. Also boring .
I’ve only watched two episodes and I’m hooked. While the acting isn’t the most salient thing about it, the characters are all very strong. I like the way in which the story unfolds around them. Maybe it’s because I’m also a teacher, and I’ve seen many things shown in the series. I think it’s a bold series that isn’t afraid to tackle a very complicated issue.
You'll see that it's definitely a movie based on a play: 4 characters in a single space (an apartment) and a lot of verbal exchanges. And that's my only qualm, I believe that a film gives you much more to play with, meaning that's free of all the limitations of a play with a live audience. I haven't seen the play, so I can't compare which one is better. That aside, I think it's a clever story with lots of things that may resonate with many couples, whether gay or straight. What I do appreciate is the level of maturity in which the topics were handled. The comedic moments do stand out, and the actors' performances are a delight.
Like a $2000 stimmy check, Snyder's Justice League is worth the wait.
An epic super hero opera, every person even remotely connected to this film, from the actors to the writers to the janitor, takes themselves dangerously too seriously, but that's so much better than not doing nothing at all.
Maybe the experience is different if you're American and/or you have no prior knowledge of what was going on in Gitmo (we been knew), but this movie -- while not too bad -- was not as good as it could have been.
The script takes middle-of-the-road approach and never really goes for the jugular. Sure, we can call the onscreen depictions of torture "brave" but it's not like it is the first movie to do so. The tone was confusing, there was a lot of jokes for a story that's about inhumane torture. I don't know what function the dream scenes were supposed to perform in the movie, some of them were disorienting, which I suppose is intentional to demonstrate Mo's mental state, but I wonder if they were necessary at all.
The acting was great though, I have no misgivings about the acting. I've always liked Tahar Rahim, but the poor guy is really typecast in America, in Europe they trust him with roles that have nothing to do with his background, because he's just that good.
Great film. Carey Mulligan is amazing in it. I just want to say: Death to the rapist patriarchy . Also, great soundtrack. Very cool all around.
