From: Oh, the Places We'll Go (2022)
What do people want from a finale?
Tied up in a bow? Every trailer and advert is that this is like Lost so why do people expect answers. It was always going to create more questions and it did that exquisitely. Gripping, tense and so intriguing my only negative is that I watched this series so fast I have a HUGE wait for series 2.
The Lazarus Project (2022)
Don't listen to the negative reviews...
Ok so there are a disproportionate number of women and POC but each is believable in their own right. Well acted, well scripted, funny in parts and a genuinely fresh take on time travel. It avoided the normal confusion of time travel with a clever caveat and unfolded the sub-plots neatly. Can't wait for a series two.
How It Ends (2018)
Why the low votes? It ended how it would
I really don't get all the low reviews. There are a few that challenge why the ending (mild spoiler) doesn't reveal why the world ends as it does and ha ha isn't that ironic. No...that's the point. It ends in confusion and no one really knowing what's happening. That's the point! If you've read "one second after" declared as the most realistic post apocalyptic book you'd know this is close to the bone. Our societies communication relies on electricity and phone networks. Having experienced the July bombings in London: the networks went down, communication was patchy at best so I can only imagine it would be so much worse than that...just like the film.
Yes it was bleak, yes society collapsed and yes there was no neat bow to tie it all up but this is an apocalyptic film and the title tells you that's what it is!
Well acted, great graphics, slight amount of overused tropes but a well made film.
A Snow White Christmas (2018)
I am the score and I'll tell you how to feel!!!!
The incidental music is so loud it blocks the actors talking, which isn't such a bad thing. It literally scores each word so, if you haven't picked an emotion up from the melodramatic acting, there's no ambiguity. However...it is a pantomime style Christmas romp: over acted, light on decent script, predictable ending but eminently watchable (maybe with subtitles)
Anthony (2020)
Heart wrenching
The way the story played out and led back to the pivotal moment was brilliantly done. The scenes where the pivotal moment happens and beyond captured the pain, the feeling of intensity against the banality of things like closing a door perfectly. It was well acted, well cast and utterly heart breaking
