Fiona Stewart

I watched the first episode about a year ago but didn’t restart watching until two days ago and now I am hooked. I am already over 20 episodes in. The show is captivating, to use the words of others, and the acting is amazing. I speak Spanish and am so impressed with the quality of the actors, some who I already know and others who have been a real revelation. Definitely worth watching.

Honestly, I have never written a movie review before but this film left me with a lot to say, unfortunately, none of it is good. There is nothing about this film that is even remotely credible. I'll start with the makeup. The director went way too far in trying to create a character going through obvious turmoil and addiction. I say he went to far because Kidman looked like a slightly tanned corpse who doesn't own a brush or a change of clothes. There is no way that anyone would allow her to carry a badge in her state. She would at the very least been put on leave for phsycological assessment. Next is the non existent character developpement. The information that you learn through the film is so random that there is no chance for the audience to connect to the character and even less chance of caring about what happens to her. Nothing is ever properly explained. I felt as if I was watching a long version of the trailer as all the information that could help the audience to feel even slightly invested seems to have ended up on the cutting room floor. The movie would have been better if it had focused more on what happened 16 years earlier instead of the scenes with her daughter who hates her, the daughter's boyfriend and the man who the daughter refers to as her father, all which seemed irrelevant and added absolutely nothing to the film. I am sure that there will be those who claim that this was all intentional and that the director is a visionary but frankly I think the film came across as a vanity project gone very wrong.
