Very disappointing. I just could not believe the ending….

Such a lame movie. It is not funny, and not even entertaining.

There is something fake about the two actors. I just did not feel the warmth I should feel. I don't recommend it.

This is one of the most entertaining documentaries of all time. Everything is spot-on: the narrator, the director, and of course, the outstanding performance of the birds! I hope there is a part 2 for this.

Very muted and very dark but raises a lot of questions about not only the entertainment business but about career life in general. The everlasting ambition of young people to do anything to get there. The ethical considerations they need to overlook is just devastating. The image of power, represented in the ever-present, but ever-absent media mogul, is juxtaposed with the powerless few; those who work in his shadow and have to overlook all the transgressions. Does that make them part of the corruption? There is also this hidden theme of sexual harassment, but we are never sure if it is really harassment or whether the women are just doing whatever it takes to take what they want, similar to the male assistants in the office? I find this a thought-provoking movie in a very subtle way.

Easily one of the best movies ever made. It makes one sad to see how much the movie-making evolved with all those grand budgets and technology cannot even come close to the virtuosity of this movie taking place almost in its entirety in a small room, with only 12 men arguing for around 90 minutes. This is genius. The movie revolves around the discussion of 12 members of the jury about a murder. Their verdict can either set a young man free or end his life. Each member of the jury comes to the jury room with his own assumptions and each one's life is reflected in the vote he gives. Makes you think how justice is carried out.

It is the story of Nicky and Jason who failed to have a child on their own and so they are going through the process of adoption. I am halfway season one and so far I am enjoying joining in the journey of a middle class couple questioning their life choices in their thirties while they are making a room for a child in their life.

This is a brilliant movie and a great shoutout to the music score before I move on to the other point. The cello was the best option to juxtapose and perhaps complement the joker’s laughter, misery, and the injustice he has been subjected to from even before his birth. Moving on, the movie made me vividly feel the bystander effect, because the audience is sitting there at a safe distance watching What Arthur is going through. We might sympathize but we are not helping. We laugh at the comic scenes when we shouldn’t because the their backdrop is not funny at all. I was clenching my hands throughout the movie reeling from the bombardment of emotions this movie was rousing in me. Still rousing till now. It will take a long time for the effects of this movie to wear off.

I don't think there is another TV show offering such a critique of all aspects of modern life. It is one of my all time favorites.

A parody of romantic comedy that decides to stay a romantic comedy in itself. I liked it.
