Feel Good (2020)
Very funny, very moving, and very forgiving
I love when characters are realistically imperfect. This show is quite nuanced and forgiving that way - people who are insufferable at one point are actually quite moving or relatable the next. Mae theirself is actually very imperfect, but very relatable as well.
I love the humor. It's dry, weird, and often very cute. I love Mae's mind. I also love Phill.
I think in these times we really need more shows like that, about people just trying to make the best out of it and often failing miserably, and who are still worthy of love, and capable of change.
If you like to laugh at misery, this is your show. Or maybe I should say, laugh with it. This show is actually very positive as well, because it takes touchy subjects and makes them funny. It's one of my favorite kinds of humor.
Crush (2001)
I really have a soft spot for this one!
I must have seen this movie at least 5 times by now. Here's why.
Look, I know good, award-worthy movies and I can see why this one doesn't belong in that category. The acting is not very convincing, the story has huge holes in it and the characters aren't exactly deep. But there's just something incredibly charming about this film.
The three main characters are beautiful to look at and though their acting isn't great, this kind of works for them because their exaggeration also makes them very likable.
The film has a good atmosphere, with its typical British elements, its music, that's simple and plain but works, and its own pleasant style, which I find hard to define.
And I really like the plot. I won't spoil anything - I'll just say it gives you a really interesting perspective on some things. It may not be a very deep perspective, or even a realistic one, but it is one I liked nonetheless.
The movie is lighthearted and kind of depressing and sad at the same time. Which is a strange combination, but it works. It's also kind of ridiculous, a quality I can really appreciate in a film.
