I truly dislike jump scares, not because they scare the shit out of me (they do!), but because they're a cop-out, a lazy option overused in today's horror. But - holy shit! - that scene with the sisters arguing with each other in the car... THAT'S how you do a jump scare! Also, nice way to stop a fight. Then, Theo's monologue right after was emotionally intense, I could feel her despair creeping inside me. This show can be slow and boring, at times, but the acting is consistently well above average.
Some interesting pieces coming together. No tree house... Mrs Dudley asking what room the game room was. So many little details we took for granted coz the kids experiences were actually unreliable narration by the sounds of things.
Another strong monologue too, this time from Theo. This show is superb.
“I would. Wouldn’t you?” - This was brutal, crazy, insane, amazing! That was TELEVISION. So carefully and intelligently constructed. This episode is a masterclass in everything - writing, directing, and acting.
Laughing at Jimmy’s plane 'proposal.' So perfect and I liked him realizing Kayla’s value!
Deborah moving her parents to Vegas. Unhinged behavior! That is so her.
I cannot wait to see what's in store for us in season 4 as we experience another power shift between Ava and Deborah.
I thought it was heading to a predictable path (they fight in the season finale, they make up the next season...) . I did not expect that chess move. Looking forward s04 shaking things up.
awesome show,
binge watched it this weekend, which is very rare.
Every actor did their job perfectly,
The technical department did a great job.
I liked it a lot.
i have whiplash i went from horrified and on the verge of cardiac arrest to utterly heartbroken within 60 seconds
Holy shit. I underestimated Ava as well there. Absolute power move and will really turn their dynamic on its head.
Props to Jimmy for walking away from that meeting.
This is now my go-to lesbian Christmas movie(not that there are that many to choose from but still).
It was really cute, the acting was fine and I've always been a sucker for the fake dating trope
This was quite an experience. There aren't many occasions when a film keeps me off-balance like this one did. I was never really sure where the story was going. The two lead characters are overwhelmingly creepy, or more accurately, gross. Sean Harris is especially amazing as a dysfunctional man (Philip) who was once a puppeteer who entertained children. Umm...hopefully not with the spider puppet he carries around all the time. Parents...avoid puppet shows!
This film has a practically apocalyptical look, with everything appearing dirty, dilapidated and broken. There are times when the spider puppet haunts Philip that are as frightening as anything I can remember watching over the last few years. The only negatives were a few jump scares that were totally unnecessary, especially as Possum scares most when at its deliberate pace.
This will be a tough watch for most movie goers as there's no one to cheer for and there's not a laugh in site. This is a dark, dank psychological Horror film focused on the fallout and destruction of lives due to child abuse. It's ugly and almost otherworldly, but I couldn't look away.
how on earth do they keep topping the previous season? this is the best show on tv right now!
and for the people online who write about how hannah is a "nepo baby who can't act," she came for y'all in this episode!!! (and this season in general) whew!!!!
A weird movie on its premise but i liked it , it has a charm to it
Evan Rachel Wood's performance is heartwarming
i found it really confusing in some parts but the main characters carried the movie with ease. the connection they shared in such a short period of time, linked by both passion and the struggle of womanhood, the resistance of jin xia until fully giving in to the other woman's advances, the vulnerability, the tenderness they had with each other... just wow. i loved it, even though almost everything outside the two of them wasn't very well made. the visuals are great too, i loved what they did with the lighting
