Buried in Barstow (2022)
Part 1 of ???
It's not a movie. It's part one and no other parts exist, and non are apparently currently being filmed.
Acting and cast were really good, not what I expected from a lifetime movie. Guess I should have seen a let down coming as the ending doesn't exist. Disappointed. Would like to have seen where it went.
Also some of the editing did have a few issues, scenes filmed with people moving around, moving means they aren't anywhere near where they were at the start of a word then back to original location, funny actually usually it's just hair placement but this was pretty bad and spots. Still would have watched more if there was another episode.
Counter Play (2016)
Cure to Covid-19 isolation insomnia
I came across this on late night replay...yes on replay...why oh why?. Thank you for the CoVid-19 insomnia cure.
The acting is terrible. Stunted, metalic robotic speeches and hey wait while i pause so you can say your terrible line while someone moves the one shaky camera we have. Why are people speaking in badly accented fake posh voices?
I would turn it into a drinking game during this CoVid-19 iso but I don't think I could watch another episode.

Ignore the editing if you want any hope of enjoying
Leave your brain at the door action, with the worst editing. A drinking game on stuff ups would get you smashed in 1st 30 minutes. If you can get past these issues it's a good tune off from reality.
The Escape (2017)
Great depiction of depression, feeling trapped and motherhood.
If you're someone who doesn't understand the depths of depression then the main character may seem selfish, self indulgent and inconsiderate of her hard working husband and her children.
To escape and leave as she does is less selfish than the alternative (suicide).
This mother is feeling trapped and wants more from life. Her husband's attempts to make her feel better felt to me like it was more stifling, she can't breath and telling someone to "get over it" and "smile" just makes depression worse. When you're that down sometimes things like therapy aren't even an option you can come up with. Perhaps her husband did fail her in this regard.
Those who felt the ending wasn't enough didn't pay attention enough.
*** SPOILERS***
The movie ends as it began. She is on her own. Puts on make up and walks out of an apartment.
This is not the same location/home we see throughout the movie. We see her final decision at the start and simply find out her reasons for it in the next hour and a half.
She has chosen life and herself.
