A sad story about a nasty, angry older woman who simply didn't like children playing near her rental home. Unlike some of the posters, I thought the police were very good and doing their job. I thought the children were just being kids. But "Susan" was out of control. If she didn't like living in a neighborhood with a lot of kids, she could have moved. It isn't like the children were directly on her property. They were playing on communal property. And what ever happened to older folks acting like surrogate grandparents? Lots of opportunities here for Susan to become like a grandma figure to these kids, treat them well, offer to help out their mothers and babysit. But she was clearly racist, called the children vile names and refused to bend an inch to be a good neighbor. Now four kids have no mother because of her self-centered, crazy sense of entitlement.

I'm in the middle it but cannot agree more with the poster who made a comment about the teenager being a first class B. What is wrong with the adults in the room? Why is this kid allowed to be rude and nasty ... even BEFORE her father disappeared. Then there is the WOKE nonsense ... always need a black girlfriend and a gay couple. So they put them together in one. Black and white couple that happens to be lesbians. Can't we just have one or the other? A black friend. Or a gay couple but both together? Stupid. Then Jennifer Garner's character is just so annoying. Too trite. No backbone. You want to shake her into reality. So all in all, it's far too artificial and the casting and poor acting distract from what promised to be a pretty interesting story. Side note: if she met her husband in NYC, why is her former boyfriend living in LA? Doesn't make sense, or should be explained.

Started out great. Used to live in Hollyweird and it captured the pressure that actresses are under to stay relevant. But it started to lose its appeal as the gore took hold. Both actresses, Moore and Qualley, are terrific. But there is no "substance" to the film that hammers home the travails and tragedy of losing one's youth in a world where youth and beauty are your currency. Talent comes later. Sorry, I didn't like it and thought the writer/director could have made it into something great but failed.

An incredible film to remind all of us that life is glorious and precious and secondly, that true love is something worth waiting for and you can't "settle" for second best when the real thing could be just around the corner or, as in this case, in the phone booth at the coffee shop. Makes me nostalgic for the natural way people used to meet ... the slow burn of romance and the clarity of feeling when you meet the right one. Claire Forlani is beautiful and an incredible actress ... far better than most and wish she had done more. See it and relax with it. You will smile, cry and be grateful for living. It's a gift.

I just read Jan B's review and she/he was spot on. The film is well done and the actors are top rate in the lead roles. The story is poignant but every single "bad guy" is white. It became almost predictable and annoying. But if you are ready for the woke-ness, the basic story of an old man carrying out his wish to take his (deceased) wife back to their home where their baby is buried is a testament to true love.

If I were a "Guinness" I'd be rolling in my grave after seeing this piece of fiction. Everything in it is someone's speculation. No real facts other than that they brewed beer. And the music is horrible. Should have fit the time period. At least that might have made it slightly more credible as an historical fantasy. Only plus is the actors who are all very good. Costumes too. But if you do watch, know that you are not watching truth.

A waste of time and talent. Starts out promising but a disappointment as it progresses. Can't stand filling in dialog every other word with the "F" bomb. Can't stand bad actresses who pause for the sake of pausing without reason. And the woman who plays "Estelle" is so bad. Only good episodes were up front. Then the thing fell apart.

Can't stop watching both seasons! A lot of Jeremy Clarkson's quips go over my head here in the U.S. but the spirit and integrity of the show is outstanding. So much fun to watch and so inspiring. Every single person on the show is a star ... though they don't know it as that's what makes them stars. Kaleb, Charlie, Gerald, Harriet and, of course, Lisa ... who is smart and lovely and patient and knows just how to tame Jeremy. But I have to say the true STAR of the show is Richard Hamm! That little pig makes me smile every time I look at him.

I was following this series because the premise was interesting and while I thought Amanda Peat was annoying, I liked Jon Hamm's character. Only now I've totally gone off it because of the most recent episode where the characters are at Princeton, enter a church and proceed to desecrate the Holy Eucharist ... not to mention attempt to have sex in a pew. This is the kind of disrespectful garbage that turns fans away. And I suspect the writers wouldn't dare mock Islam or Judaism this way, but for some reason they hate Christians. Sorry, you lost me and I suspect many more like me.

I tried three episodes and was scratching my head after each one. Don't waste your time. It is depressing, for starters, and the "plots" have no rhyme or reason. I read the reviews on this thread and they sound like film students who are trying to sound smart. Terrible series. Give me back the old "Twilight Zone" series. It had more substance and was more appealing.
