Gypsy (2017)
Slow
Extremely slow show about an infuriating compulsive liar, im not finished yet but it's so self indulgent that I don't have any hope that she's gonna learn anything ...people have messy lives but this is just egregiously bad
Easy (2016)
So good
Very good. The writing is minimal so the acting and non verbal moments really make this show. I don't see how ppl could find it boring but everyone has different opinions. I like things about human relationships so that's just me
Irreplaceable You (2018)
I liked it
I thought it was interesting. I mean I treated it as I would if I knew two people in this situation, and that is without any judgment or preconceived notions, because everyone's dying/grieving process is different. I didn't feel like it wasn't a realistic premise because having volunteered a bit in palliative care people behave very unpredictably. It made me think about what I would do in her situation. Cheesy at times. Acting could be better.
Phantom Thread (2017)
Averagely bad
Very long. Didn't sympathize with the characters because they were not humanized. Alma behaves as a petulant child and Reynolds is supposed to have met his match with her as he is also childish and fussy. The plot is silly and ridiculous and the dresses are nice. I gave it 5 stars because it was cunning enough to keep giving me hope that it would be good eventually. So I stuck with it.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
It's like a black comedy but without too many punchlines
It was kind of funny. Not creepy or scary. The whole premise isn't deep to me at all, but I understand some people get a kick out of finding meaning in artsy movies so power to them. I also don't think I'm dumb for thinking the concept is bad but I digress.
I would recommend watching if you like a little silly movie that's mildly entertaining and might make you go "wtf lol" at some parts. Other than the plot, the cinematography was nice.
The Stranger (2020)
Meh
Good drama. Pretty gripping. But with most British dramas/mysteries the wrap up ends up being nonsensical and contrived. This "stranger" caused people to be killed...and all she has to do is cry crocodile tears and Buddy's ready to accept her as sister? This person is a lunatic. Whole series is just very convoluted and trying too hard.
