Station Eleven (2021)
Bore fest
I so wanted to like this - gave me Walking Dead vibes so felt it was going to be up there; sadly it was not.
Slow, boring, too much focus on irrelevant characters. Episode one intrigued me, episode 2 I endured hit by 3 I'd given up! Too many episodes about characters lives in the past that had nothing to do with the present. The "travelling orchestra" was just irritating and their hippy vibes were just as annoying!
Sadly a massive let down for me and an entirely pointless series. It was disjointed and out of context - I fail to understand what it was trying to achieve and it the message it was conveying.
Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022)
Amazing!
Acting was sublime; filled with emotion, passion, warmth and tension throughout.
I loved every second of this film. Jack O'Connell is brilliant as is the leading lady - they are so well casted together.
Plus all the other actors as well. Beautiful setting and clothes too.
A fantastic film with a happy ending. Well worth a watch and is up there in my list of all time favourites. I fail to understand any negative comment about this movie. Everyone needs to watch it and enjoy it - no need to compare or pull it apart. Accept it for what it is - a love story filled with passion.
Bloody brilliant!
The Brink (2020)
Reality check!!
Realistically this is a depiction of human kind in the face of desperation. It's not glamourss or hopeful; it's raw and desperate - carnal and savage.
Sadly this is what the human has become; self absorbed and selfish.
I found this film very brave in its message and also brutally inspiring in respect of how it depicts a future of survival. Not inspiring in a positive way but the realism of what survival looks like.
Watch it - but be brave and accept that this is what we are.....
Keep Breathing (2022)
Do not bother!
I'm fuming that I've wasted 3 hours of my life on this rubbish! If you cut out all the massively irritating flashbacks and merge the forrest survival scenes together you will probably have the whole story in 1 episode. By episode 5 (can't believe I lasted this long!) id lost the will to live and didn't care anymore! Quick fast forward to the end which a huge regret that I hadn't done that that within the fist 5 minutes of episode 1!!
Svart krabba (2022)
POINTLESS!!
So I've just watched nearly 2 hours of survival, through ice terrain, guns and bombs; only to watch her blow her self up at the end! What was the point?!
Completely pointless waste of time stupid movie and made no sense! Do not bother!
Mother/Android (2021)
Beyond confusing
I lasted 50 minutes! Did make any sense to me and I have no clue what the film was trying to say. It's disjointed, weird and boring! Don't waste your time!
The Shack (2017)
Don't bother
What a load of nonsense! I found it painful to watch and can't believe I lasted 50 minutes. So the film starts off well; kid gets abducted and disappears. Family have to deal with the aftermath. Father goes off to hunt the killer - then from no where he finds himself in another rhelm, hanging out with a black female "God". Stupid nonsense - at that point I turned it off!! How can the trauma of loosing a child insuch a horrific way be anesthetized buy a prophesy?!! Please don't waste any time on this rubbish!
Breeder (2020)
Brilliant!!
I am shocked that there are so many bad reviews on here; what do people expect from a horror?! Fluffy bunnies and happiness! This film is raw, brutal, chilling and horrifying! The acting is superb....how do you expect a girl to display her emotions after months of captivity, sheer brutality and cruelty?! I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to all genuine horror fans. 10/10 from me - one of the best horrors I've seen.
Angela Black (2021)
Daft wooden and more holes than a sieve
Ok so a random man comes over to you in a park and says "your husband is plotting to kill you but I'll kill him instead because I want to do something good for a chance". And she agrees!! Like WTF?! At that point I gave up. So absurd. So many silly errors as well - and she never changes her expression. Like NEVER. Made it to half way through episode 2. Meh
Don't bother.
Maid (2021)
Boooooring!!
I lasted 30 minutes. I don't know why but I found the lead character really irritating! She just seemed really drippy! Like where's your balls girl?! Way too lack lustre for me I'm afraid! Not my cuppa tea.
Cousins (2021)
Lasted 5 minutes
Too weird!! Didnt make any sense and too irritating flicking timelines every 2 minutes.
My Unorthodox Life (2021)
Narcissistic
I lasted 4 episodes. At first I thought ok, this woman is strong, admirable and influential. Then I'm starting to think, hang on - this seems more controlling, self indulgent and manipulative.
I totally appreciate that people have their owns views and opinions but they should be expressed dependently to strengthen their own lives not at the expense of others. If Julia Hart wasn't happy- that's ok; she did something about it but to publicly shame her whole community at such length makes me feel uncomfortable. I didn't this show - it was like watching a woman's personally hate campaign to destroy a religious life style.
Blood Red Sky (2021)
Totally brilliant!
It's extremely rare these days to get an original believable horror that grips you from start to finish. This film hits the spot. Fantastic effects, a believable story with great acting. The little boy is brilliant. I can't praise it enough 👏
The Contract (2006)
Great film!
Ok so, it might be dated, wooden and scripted but that's what makes it brilliant! It's understated, engaging and me and my partner loved it! 👏
Behind the Candelabra (2013)
I loved it
Interesting; great acting by all involved. Captured the essence of manipulation by power. Definitely worth a watch.
Le Bazar de la Charité (2019)
Simply outstanding
Best drama I have ever watched. Acting is sublime; settings are exquisite - storyline is addictive. If I could give more than a 10 I would! Has to be watched. Pure indulgence.
Premonition (2007)
Pointless
Don't bother. It's goes round in a complete circle and starts where it ends. Waste of time.
Zero Chill (2021)
Dreadful
Lasted 3 minutes; couldn't get past the awful set and how staged and amateurish it felt.
Load of cods wallop!
Behind Her Eyes (2021)
Great twist at the end!!
Well I didn't see that one coming! I really enjoyed it; great acting, suspense building and twist at the end.
A very original concept which is refreshing these days.
I'd throughly recommend it - and I'm a tough nut to crack!
News of the World (2020)
Amazing!!
Such a great film. Tom Hanks is utterly brilliant as is Helena Zengel. Such a perfect duo.
The acting through out is superb from everyone!
First time I've watched a "Western" type film and I'd recommend this film to everyone.
Shear perfection !
Destroyer (2018)
Don't bother
I lasted 11 minutes. Kidman's character is so irritating I just couldn't get past it; she's so depressing it's unbearable to watch.
Move on
W glebi lasu (2020)
Don't bother
Too slow and the characters are irritating. Gave up after 40 minutes. Nothing to aspire to, just a pensive lawyer and annoying kids! Plus too many darks scenes with teenagers running about in the woods which is annoying!
Meh
His House (2020)
Pointless
Don't bother. Just weird and doesn't mean anything
Marrowbone (2017)
Dull as dishwater
Did t make it past 45 minutes. Mundane, uneventful, boring, slow, pointless and irritating!
Don't bother
Zodiac (2007)
Wtf
Utter rubbish!!! Felt like it was 20 hours let alone 3! The most boring, pointless, uninteresting pile of nonsense! Film torture
