Good lord, what is that dialogue? I don't remember the characters in season 1 being quite this bizarre and unrealistic, Holly Hunter notwithstanding.
Some might find it depressing, but I thought it was powerful, incredibly witty and altogether glorious. Cynthia Nixon was astonishing. I knew very little about Emily Dickinson going in, but now I'm clamouring to find out more.
AND there was a surprising amount of thwoorp action. #yaas
A quiet and dignified film with an appropriately slow pace given how long it took their landmark case to be heard and decided by the supreme court.
Totally unpredictable and absolutely brilliant. Can't recommend this one highly enough.
Surprisingly dark at its core but a very fun ride. Aubrey Plaza has been picking some pretty interesting projects lately.
Wry, smart and very, very funny. The cast and writing is brilliant but Patricia Clarkson's gloriously cynical character is definitely the highlight. Just marvellous.
Silly, but an absolute riot. I haven't stopped giggling since.
Oprah Winfrey is a damn fine actress.
A powerful series featuring an outstanding performance by Julie Walters.
Hysterically funny and actually brilliant.
Go on and get that Oscar, Miss Viola. Get. It.
Bill is way off his game. Having Milo on at all was a mistake. But then to joke with him and not call out his hate speech was atrocious. Thank fuck Larry Wilmore was there to set him right in Overtime.
Brutal and intense. Made me want to learn more about The Troubles of which I know woefully little.
That "juvenile prison" stuff was just so completely ridiculous and ham fisted.
Pretty wrenching but I have to say I didn't find it as powerful or moving as Lonergan's previous films, Margaret or You Can Count on Me.
It's a classic for a reason! That acting! That overblown score! That wheelchair! Amazing.
This is a brilliant film. An exciting, funny, touching, powerful and illuminating true story with top notch acting, writing and direction dolled out in a beautiful, palatable package. Even though the term "by the numbers" springs to mind, the whole thing is done with such finesse, intelligence and grace that it feels really special. If it's true you get more flies with honey this should clean up at the box office. And I certainly hope it does.
Overly long, slow, predictable and unnecessarily supernatural.
Cute. Has some very funny moments.
The true story of a very sad, confused man.
The cinematography is truly stunning but, wow, harrowing much?
Another excellent and unique film from Almodóvar.
Carries extra weight now that we know how the "real" story ends.
A thoughtful look at a very extreme form of parenting and its benefits and pitfalls.
Porn + Weekend + HIV = Theo & Hugo
A surprisingly good coming-out film. The casting of Isabella Rossellini was particularly inspired.
An excellent film about a vitally important subject which is especially relevant in this time of "post-truth" and "fake news".
Trashy 80s fun from Almodóvar.
Bizarre but utterly compelling. Huppert is magnifique.
Bizarre but funny and completely original.
