Het Gouden Uur (2022)
Could have been good
I really hope this is not how Dutch police handles terrorist threats or any kind of threats really. Two big attacks in Amsterdam and there are only two cops that act... on both of them. Everybody else just sit and wait for the special forces and they are slow and suicidal walking around in front of a sniper. Oh, and there's only one bomb expert in whole Amsterdam too.
The protagonist is acting illogically not cooperating with his colleagues. There are good Aphgans and bad Aphgans but the whites are just bad or dumb or both.
The story is good and could have been great. My rating is for the story. The script is tragic and I fast forwarded it as it was getting really boring and ridiculous.
The Silence (2019)
Disappointing
Still don't get it how come bats managed to overpower people?
Boring film, nothing new, much better films out there - Quiet Place, Bird Box etc.
Gave it a 5, because of the actors.
Maid (2021)
Absolutely amazing!!
Started watching at 8.30 pm and couldn't stop until 4.30 am when the last episode ended. Great show, great characters, really believable and, oh, what an amazing acting!! Andie MacDowell just blow my mind! And every other actor was at their best as well! So glad we could see this story about emotional abuse, bruises are not just on the outside.
Enjoy!
The Guilty (2021)
Not bad, but the original's way better
Not bad if you haven't seen the danish original. Compared to it this one was a bit boring and over dramatic for me. Jake Gyllenhaal is amazing and one of my favorite actors, but the story became too Hollywood-ish and the real jam here is the story.
Sex Doll (2016)
Good acting, but boring
Good acting, but boring film. The plot is nothing new, but could've been okay. But these long, long, long shots on actors sad, sad, sad faces were too much. At some point it almost felt like they like being miserable.
Breaking Surface (2020)
Real Surprise
Didn't expect this, because the rate is not high. But! Turns out the rate is total joke. Absolutely loved the film. Couldn't stop watching. Got frustrated with character's decisions, but I guess it's different when it actually happens to you, not just watching it. And by the way, I have Volvo and you can't open the trunk from the back seats.
It was intense and interesting, and almost made me cry.
Don't trust the ratings about this one, just watch and decide!
By the Sea (2015)
Loved it
I was avoiding this film for a long time, because of the bad reviews. Big mistake. The film is beautiful. Slow, but truthful story about life. Good acting. The story is not about saving the world. It's ordinary, it's about what happens behind the closed door between two people. Love, pain, desire - ordinary stuff!
The One (2021)
Boring
Great idea, badly made. Bad directing, horrible acting, especially the main character - Rebecca. Got really bored.
Waist of time
I Care a Lot (2020)
Tragic
The only thing worth watching is Rosamund Pike. She's amazing as usual, but even she can't pull this mess out. Started interesting and then went down so fast. It's like the screenwriter just lost interest and said f..k it!
Waist of time
Disparue (2015)
Too much drama
It started well and then became so over dramatic. Focused on parents pain it became chaotic, too much drama, less crime/detective. Family relations somehow not believable. At certain point it was clear who's the killer. The long shots of the swimming mother - extremely boring.
The girl died from to blows on the head, so Jean's version was clearly a lie, but the cops didn't realize it??? Instead they wondered why he confessed so fast???
Kärlek & anarki (2020)
Totally loved it!
Just loved this show. It's smart and sexy, and funny, and serious! The story goes so elegantly and it seems so real and absurd at the same time. The actors are brilliant.
Couldn't stop watching!
The Alienist (2018)
Season 1 - great, season 2 - not really
I loved the first season. It was perfect, beautiful, interesting. Season 2 - suddenly all the men became stupid and week. There's a perfect balance between the characters in S1 and Sarah'a strength and independence were so real and aspiring. In S2 it's just feminism propaganda (and I'm a woman), but not the good type. It doesn't work out putting all the lines in Sarah's mouth to make her look strong and really smart detective. And then there's was this soap opera line. By the end it got boring.
Disappointed really :(
Mistresses (2013)
Don't bother, just watch the British original
Stupid, unbelievable, bad acting. Just watch the British original, it's real
Only (2019)
Not bad at all
Don't understand all the bad reviews, really! It's slow, but interesting. I liked the characters, even though the acting wasn't the best.
To all those writing about the hair and not hiding - she was already infected. They went out not to hide or run, but to be out, to be free, to be couple one more time... despite everything.
The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
All these long looks at the camera
Great plot, great acting, BUT after season 1 it's all about humiliation, pain, cruelty and... nothing! So June is hurt and it's terrible and you wonder how much more one can take, and then she looks at camera, and she looks, and she looks, aand... nothing! And then again- pain, humiliation, cruelty, more and more sophisticated aaaand then she looks at the camera and you can see the there's definitely a plan and she's really going to do something aaaand... nothing!!!!
Hm
Hungry Hearts (2014)
Difficult to watch
Great acting, but for me it was difficult and painful to watch. The plot, combined with the way it was filmed, these weird angels, it was a bit too much.
Dark (2017)
Great TV
Such a great show! A bit slow, but still so intense at every scene. The actors are amazing, the plot is mind blowing. Just finished season 3 and starting from the beginning, this time I'm making a chart.
More of this pls
Mar de plástico (2015)
Not bad
Got hooked up. There's a lot of bad acting, but I liked the plot and the twists and really wanted to know who's the killer.
Not bad TV and I'm becoming a fan of Spanish TV shows.
The Sinner (2017)
Third season - why?
First one was amazing TV, second - a bit boring, third one - it's from a different show. Slow, no logic. It's not bad, but it's not what you expect from this particular TV show - actually solving unthinkable pretty clear crime, that turns out to be something different. Well, this season it's not it. Nevertheless, the actors are amazing. Still hoping season 4 will be back to where it really started.
En affære (2018)
Good European cinema
I liked it. Real, believable characters, slow but intense development of the story. This actress is amazing - I felt for her and hated her at the same time.
Good cinema
Taken (2002)
Steven Spielberg, really??
Started interesting and then turned out as slow, pointless, stupid soap opera. The dialogue is so bad, the actors are total disaster except for the girl of course. Why? Really why?
Medici (2016)
Season 1 definitely, season 2 - definitely NO
I liked the first season, not loved it, but it was entertaining. Liked the cast, Richard Madden is great actor.
But the second season was total disappointment. The actor who plays Lorenzo has literally one expression and it doesn't include emotions. It's more like a teen series. Not sure what Sean Bean was doing there.
Raising Dion (2019)
Very poor acting
Good idea, very bad result. The dialogues are ridiculous, the performance of the actors is painful to watch. Waste of time
The I-Land (2019)
Not that bad
Well, it's not a masterpiece, but it was entertaining. The story was good. Some of the acting was really bad, but overall I liked it.
Destination Wedding (2018)
Funny
It's nice and funny movie. The actors are great and everything is just as much as it needs to be.
Oh, and the love scene was hilarious!
