I don't understand the hate. It's an intriguing story that kept me guessing all along and didn't disappoint. Great acting from its small cast, amazing setting, had more than one twist and turn, carried some hidden meanings throughout, didn't overstay its welcome and I think it ended just about when it needed to. Most importantly, it feels like a unique story or at least something more original than anything I've watched in the last few years. It's one of those films that has a sci-fi element to it but doesn't overdo it and lets the story speak for itself. If you're still wondering whether to give it a go, don't read too much into the negative reviews and go in expecting an imperfect but overall solid movie. It's worth it.

I have found Shyamalan's work to be hit and miss and truth be told I've not enjoyed much else from him since The Village (which I loved), but this film in particular I thought was fantastic. Brilliant mix of mystery and thriller with good social commentary that got me thinking throughout. I found the script was a little inorganic at times and acting was slightly off at moments (Bernal's acting goes a bit awry when he's performing in English but not in his native Spanish, I have found), but minor flaws aside... I was throughly entertained throughout and was mostly satisfied with the twist/explanation at the end. Very confused to see that I'm part of the minority, it would appear, but each to their own. I would fully recommend a watch.

I was so pleased to see Netflix investing more in the world of Bridgerton and being one of my favourites in the show, Queen Charlotte was a perfect character to explore for a prequel. The casting is absolutely spot on, I honestly enjoyed every single character and their acting, the script, everything is a work of art. India Amarteifio is *the* perfect actor for the titular role and it's crazy to think I didn't know much of her work before. The chemistry between India and Corey is a rare gem and their relationship is believable from start to end. It was heartwarming to see Brimsley and Reynolds have their story heard too. The costumes are on point, the transitions are seamless, the story is playful, the music is fantastic. I've nothing bad to say- I can't wait to see more!

This is a unique and refreshingly original story, I can't remember the last time I watched something quite like it, so in that regard I was actually hooked until the very end. The concept is great and stands out in the same way cult favourites tend to when they gain a huge retrospective fan base several years/decades after its release.

Unfortunately I have to agree with most of the other reviewers, however, in that it's acted really poorly. Camille Rowe just about makes it, but James Jagger my goodness... every line is delivered like he's reading from a script in boredom, it's terrible. There's also a fair lack of explanation for the para/supernatural happenings and the reveal doesn't really give you all that much.

Nonetheless, I personally would actually love to see this film get the Hollywood treatment and be remade into something more coherent and impactful, similar to Goodnight Mommy. It's worth a watch, just with managed expectations.

No idea where to begin. Ali Wong and Steven Yeun are probably the best combination of humans I wasn't ready for. Their chemistry is insane and the smallest of details hit you right in the gut. The storyline is both absurd and yet so relatable it's uncomfortable. Brilliant acting from the entire cast, hilarious lines, absurd drama, unique takes on life. Also somehow manages to completely disregard and upend Asian stereotypes in one fell swoop.

I almost don't want there to be a second season to as to not mess with perfection but heck I'll watch anything else that comes out of this. Huuuge win for Netflix, best show of 2023 so far.

Dull and underwhelming episode, mostly wooden dialogue and dramatic music, with no meat on the bones whatsoever. Sara Stewart's attempt at an American accent is gut-wrenchingly awful and the others weren't that much better. Not really sure if by the end of the episode I'd lost track of what killer they were after, or if I'd simply lost interest?. The Sandy storyline is going nowhere... and Spinella is equally as pointless.

Overall I'm a huge fan of this show and this is the definitely the first and only episode of Grace that I haven't enjoyed so far, but they definitely cut corners on this one!

I dislike being the unpopular opinion, but I watched the Austrian original first and honestly found it nonsensical and erratic to the point of stupidity, and I'm usually the first to defend a 'foreign' original film against an American remake (let the right one in, vanilla skies, etc.) so it's bizarre for me to write that.

In any case, this version of the story is a million times better; the events make more sense, character choices are more palatable, and the acting is solid. Even knowing what to expect from the twist didn't make me enjoy it any less. I suppose the original had a more chilling after effect, but it took to get to the very end of the film to get even that satisfaction. Unsurprisingly, Naomi Watts does another amazing performance.

Just looking at the vile reviews being left here, you can see just why it was important for Meghan and Harry to have their say. It's impressive how deep in denial people are about the unconscious racism Meghan has had to endure from all sides. A Netflix documentary to have their say is unconventional, but if you genuinely watch the show and, wait for it, *listen* to what they have to say, you'll learn that it's unfortunately a necessity that they break from tradition and get as far away from it as possible. The series is fluid, informative, honest, multidimensional and 1 star reviews just to sling mud at them is, frankly, part of the problem they explore in the show.

Okay so more realistically it's like a 6, maybe even a 7, but I'm sorry, the sheer number of 1 star reviews is nothing short of unfair, because apparently people have forgotten to even try and enjoy some things, hence the 9 star rating to be even a tiny voice of praise in a room full of hate.

This show is miles from perfect (what show isn't?). It's got some cringey, boring and frustrating moments, I accept. Is it worthy of a tirade of 1 star reviews shouting about how bad it is? No. There is actually a lot to like about this show, you just have to have an open mind to begin with and not make incessant direct comparisons between the games and any other item that comes from the franchise.

This series is something I've never seen before from the world of Resident Evil, it's clearly made with a younger audience in mind and I'm guessing it was aimed at those who wouldn't have grown up with it. It's not going to please longstanding fans of the games, it has young adult themes laced throughout and is far more focused on the character stories than the zombies themselves. And sure, some of the characters' decisions are just plain silly.

Nonetheless, I think the acting was brilliant from pretty much the entire cast. Many scenes are stylishly done and the show captures the signature umbrella corporation branding and technology, the CGI is solid, the two main characters are believable as sisters and bounce off each other so well.

I just hope Netflix don't cancel yet another show because too many people get off on slating it so harshly they go beyond reason and we never get to see how the story develops past season one. It needs a lot of work, but this was an enjoyable introduction to a different take on the franchise!

If you've ever seen Emily in Paris, Sex and the City, etc. You'll find this is somewhat familiar and yet so drastically different at the same time. The series follows Aya from teenage years all the way up to her 40's and we follow her journey as a woman, as a human, as a Tokyoite from the country, and as a spectacle in the eyes of her peers. If you've an affinity for Japanese culture, this series is an amazing starter guide to what to expect from real life in Tokyo, it almost had a documentary feel to it and the fourth wall breaking element of shows like Fleabag. I loved it, and would definitely recommend.

The thing that really got me with this series was the concept of a 'zombie' outbreak set in a time when there was no such concept as zombies from the fiction that we know today, so to the people of that era it was an inexplicable sickness from which there was little protection and escape, no modern security and lock mechanisms, no guns, no army. The result is a simply amazing backdrop with the tone perfectly set for the isolation and horror. Visuals are amazing (please watch it in 4k if you can, Korea is absolutely stunning in this), acting is amazing from most of the cast, it has its scary moments but it's comedy as well. I was hooked from the first minute to the very last.

Goodness me it's awful. Bad story, script, effects, accents... everything about it is just awful. Netflix you need to seriously rethink your business, this is utter garbage.

Great acting from entire cast, amazing visuals of London and NYC, diverse mix of characters, there's a lot of good to be said about the show, but by the time final episode came around, I had no idea who was who, who had done what and why, and what the point of it all was. It's the kind of show you need to binge in one sitting to fully grasp the storyline, not wait for an episode to be drip-fed each week and sit through dialogue.

Honestly my partner and I had such a good time watching this. It's so relatable, hilariously funny, at times outrageous, all while being a fresh Pixar movie with a unique story and nothing but investable characters. The amount of thought and detail that went into every single character was genius and shows just how much the filmmakers cared about the movie and the proof is in the pudding. Wonderful film, can't wait to watch it again.

I've never played league of legends so I was expecting it to be mostly lost on me but wow, not the case at all. This is a beautifully illustrated story with dark themes and heavily investable characters, it honestly took us by surprise.

I'm excited to see more and more shows made based on the world of gaming and this show is a great example of it being done right. I definitely recommend.

Don't get me wrong it starts out a little boring, I honestly couldn't understand most of the dialogue, once things picked up though... goodness me. Terrifying.

This short serves to make you feel sick and nothing more, apparently that's worth including it in an anthology on Netflix. Do yourself a favour and just skip this one like it's not even there- it really shouldn't be. Meanwhile, there are actually films and shorts out there worth your time and made by people who actually give a cr*p about the film industry and bringing creativity to the screen. This is pointless garbage.

Don't get me wrong, episode 2 especially, this series was painstakingly slow and heavily centred on dialogue, it was very hard to stay interested in the earlier parts of the series. Nonetheless, I can't deny that I was captivated enough to watch it through to the end and can say ultimately, it was worth it. I could not fault the acting, seriously, this cast is quite special. And that ending... wow. Quite beautiful. Watch it.

I really don't mind a slow film with little action and lots of meaning, but unfortunately despite McDonald's amazing acting, this film really doesn't go anywhere (which, is ironic, given the title...)

Regrettably, I had to give up halfway.

Sad to see so many people calling this series a disaster. Sure, it's a farfetched storyline and characters make erratic decisions, but otherwise the story is told and illustrated beautifully, so many crazy and unexpected things happen, and it's full to the brim with hidden meanings, cultural references and morals to take away with you when you finish it. I finished the whole thing in one sitting because I couldn't bear to wait to find out what happened next. If you love Japan and all things Japanese (and even if you don't) then this is absolutely worth the watch.

I was so shocked to see another review on here stating that the show got progressively worse as it went on "like most other Japanese TV shows", and I'll agree that this is quite often the case with series of this type, but honestly in this case I could not disagree more.

This show is an absolute masterclass in modern Japanese storytelling and it's maintained right through to the final episode. I watched it in the original Japanese with English subtitles but paid close attention to the references to characters from the famous Alice in Wonderland stories.

There is unfortunately some cases of poorrepresentation of female characters, in that many are fully able, combat-trained survival types that are somehow suddenly and inexplicably incapable of fighting off weak, petite boys trying to subdue them... but other elements of the show give hope that representation and inclusion in Japanese films may be changing for the better.

That aside, every episode is a thrill ride of its own, full of hidden messages and unique shots of a deserted, lifeless Tokyo that's practically impossible to imagine. I am desperately awaiting a second season and will welcome it with open arms.

I, like other reviewers it would appear, also initially thought this was connected to Jordan Peele movies like Us and Get Out so was surprised to learn it wasn't when looking into it, but all the same, I think if you like those films then this will be worth your time. Deborah Ayorinde and Ashley Thomas are both incredible actors and they honestly were the main reason I enjoyed the show so much, their chemistry and the depth they bring to the protagonist roles are astonishingly good and I cannot believe they aren't actually American in real life.

My main gripe with the show (which I nonetheless binged within 24 hours because I was quite hooked) is that it quickly slows down to almost a halt and not much happens, and even the events that do happen start to make less and less sense as time goes on. It's clear from the outset that the show is melodramatic and intentionally extra at times, which mostly works, but it can be a bit much now and again when you're still trying to make sense of certain things going on in the storyline. Then there is of course (no spoilers) *that* scene which... Jesus... a bit too far? Very rarely do I have to say to myself "it's not real, it's not real" that many times, it's hard to shock me, but I think there are just moments where this show is waaaayyy too much.

All in all, it's a great show and I look forward to more.

This is a short film but I had to watch it after finding it practically impossible to find any information about it whatsoever online and just being too curious. It's a sweet short story with a lovely little message at the end. Worth 10 minutes of your time.

Goodness me it's not "literally the worst movie ever made if I could give it 0 stars I would OMG", Jesus...

This film is well-acted and has some nice messages within, but unfortunately it does fall short on substance and the plot. It was also marketed, I feel, as though it were a film that would uncover some government conspiracy about the virus not being real and how the characters take down the system, something like that, but in reality it's simply a romance and action film on a pandemic backdrop.

I liked it enough to watch until the end, but it's definitely not essential watching. The screaming 1 star reviews are hardly justified, nonetheless.

I was so shocked to come here and find so many negative reviews for what was such a well-made and well-acted film! I was hooked from the very beginning and loved the performances of the cast as well as the script and plot. As many of the meta reviews are saying, this film does a fantastic job of highlighting the devastating effects of an abusive relationship that we often do not see. One or two incredibly minor plot holes, sure, but at the end of day it's a fictional film. I had a great time, I hope you do too.
