Bortført (2021)
Worth Binge watching
10 short episodes package a plot that has multiple often surprising sub plots. Acting is good not great. High energy level that holds interest. Entertaining but misses the boat. Good for one evening's entertainment.
The Truth About Emanuel (2013)
Great acting and character development but misses the mark
The lead actresses deserve 9/10. The story concept 8/10. The whole package 6/10. The symbiotic relationship between the lead characters is realistic and develops quickly. The story line is a bit contrived but does express the characters' deep sense of loss and interdependency. It is very unfortunate that some of that energy is lost during the final symbolic scenes. Instead of leaving a lasting impression, they fall a bit flat. Nevertheless, this film is worth watching for the acting alone. It was impressive that Kaya Scodelario developed such a realistic American accent for the role. It adds another dimension to her excellent acting ability and (like Jessica Biel) she has the natural and very good looks to go with it.
