I dont know what went wrong with family fang, it just needed some more juice in it, it was very compact and clean, it needed to be a little more messy.
I wanted so much to love it but something was holding the film back. It was a good effort though but needed to be more daring and avant garde.

Anybody watch Ms America yet? Reviews have been glowing, but not overtly.

I watched the first three episodes. It's a really well made show. Especially, it's directed and edited with nuance and playfulness. The acting is tremendously good all in all. Cate Blanchett is 100% locked in as a front runner for all lead actress awards.
Having said that, it is nothing extra-ordinary. I did not find the first three episodes particularly riveting. It's perfectly watchable but don't be surprised if you snooze through some of it.

I have just watched Shirkers on Netflix. What a great surprise this has been. I just typed "best documentaries sundance" and got this little gem that won the biggest award at Sudance last year. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. thanks pero will check it out this weekend. I watched Fatal Attraction recently its been ages since I law saw it, Glenn Close is amazing in it! So underrated I cant believe she hasnt won an Oscar to date. It so funny how times change perspectives, I actually felt very sympathetic towards her character, even though they tried their darnedest to make her a psycho.

I watched "super dark times" on Netflix, pretty good. Easily one of the best teenage indie psychological thrillers out there, looming mode and very intense and dark, yet stylish and really well made. Set in the 90s which is always a plus for me Definitely recommend.

Oh I read the book some time ago and always wondered how it would be adapted. There were some passages that I thought could only work in the written form. I will for sure give it ago. Reviews are very promising.

I just discovered "SEX EDUCATION" (British TV Series) - Wow - They mix the comedy and drama and heart perfectly - I highly recommend this one! (9/10)
Also a few more Spanish hidden gems:
* "EL BAR" (The Bar) - Black Comedy / Thriller - Definitely one of THE BEST movies I've seen within the last year or so - 10/10 * "TOC TOC" - I laughed out loud because the performances were so entertaining - A very smart comedy ! 8/10

Another recommendation "Normal people" O M G Brilliant show! I started yesterday and I finished like 4 episodes in one sitting, so good. Easily on of the best shows this year and it will be a show people will talk about for year. The book is great, and the series is equally amazing. I was shocked by how perfectly done it is. Saw the first 5 episodes in one day, couldn't stop

I think the guy is an awful person. I mean the main character in Normal people. he doesn't deserve the girl at all, his cowardness amazes me almost every episode. Read the book before watching the series. Perhaps you will understand Connell better.
