Thunder in My Heart (2021)
Teen drama
Starts out somewhat interesting but completely dies after a few episodes. It becomes very repetitive. It might have had some good scenes but still not worth watching all of it. Maybe it is only meant for teens?!
Enola Holmes (2020)
Forget about feminism and historical accuracy, this is still bad
People are criticizing this film for the wrong reasons. I am a leftie and a feminist myself, but yes, the girl power message was too on the nose and came off as forced. And yes, racism apparently did not exist in that time. But I can overlook that as this seems to be more of a "fun" movie.
However, what actually bothers me is the shallow story line, the lack of mystery, Enola's over the top reactions, the poor choice to have her talk directly to the camera, the poor editing (too fast paced, too many cuts during the same scene - the intro alone had me upset), the forced "romance", the lack of character development, not using the other great cast members as they should have.. I could go on. Mainly I feel like I was watching Disney Channel. But maybe this was meant for kids and they did not communicate that well enough?
I guess it is an OK watch if you are super hungover. But in that case I'd just watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off again.
