I loved this movie it was very poignant and brought up a lot of emotions in me. Lovely that it is released around the time of mental health awareness week. It is up there with being in my top favourite Marvel movies. Thunderbolts was funny, sad and hopeful. I loved how they valued mental health and the importance of connection. When you go beneath the surface it was actually a beautiful movie.

Absolutely loved this low budget movie. I am shocked by some harsh comments maybe people didn’t properly understand the meaning behind this movie. Nicholas Cage did great in this. I might even watch it again.

I adored this movie. Jamie Lee Curtis & Pamela Anderson did well here. Shelly looks so beautiful even without makeup. I liked how her character had a warmth & sweet innocence. It was such a simple story line yet emotive in places & I had a few tears in parts as I could connect to the character’s feelings. This movie will resonate with a lot of people throughout different transitions of life & the value of doing & holding onto things we treasure in life even if there are obstacles. I am glad I went to see it. I also think the last show girl deserves to win some awards 🤞🫶

I absolutely loved this movie and I would think it will probably win some awards at some point. I think the writer was clever in the hidden gems she was trying to get across about the beauty industry, aging, women’s own self esteem and the pressure we all put on ourselves no matter how old we are. She was trying to get us to appreciate ourselves more with all imperfections and have better self- love. This was very apparent in the end scene where Monstro was still wanting to be at the New Year’s party and was putting her dress on, earrings and curling her one strand of hair. She wanted people to embrace her as she was despite how she looked. Also when Elisabeth’s face is on the Hollywood Walk of Fame where it melts into the pavement was interesting to me as she seems free from the struggles she has endured with her body image issues and pressure she was placing on herself to be accepted and is finally accepting herself for who she is and is not being controlled by anyone to take the stage she is doing it simply for herself. I am surprised by some of the harsh criticism here as I saw it completely different and thought this movie was thought provoking and clever. I am accepting though of all our differences. I am actually going to see it tomorrow for a second time and can’t wait as I am sure I will see a few more gems. Well done to all the cast and writers you should be proud.

This was so disappointing. I don’t even know where to start. It got to a point at the end when I was getting really restless in my seat as the movie was too long and I was about to walk out. It was hearing a lady crying (maybe because she realised how much money she had wasted) made me wait till the end. But seriously I haven’t read the book and seeing this movie will stop me from reading it. The storyline had so much potential as they were dealing with such an important and sensitive topic. I felt it needed to be handled so much more carefully than this movie did and it felt more like a romcom with lots of close ups. I am not sure Blake Lively was the right actress for this as I didn’t feel an emotional connection with her character and her relationship with the other characters. I felt they did a much better job than she did. Also I felt the domestic violence was only touched on and it didn’t fully reflect on the impact of being in this type of relationship and also the scene in the hospital seemed ridiculous as for a lot of people who tell their partner they are leaving them this is usually a stressful and potentially dangerous time for them and quite often they need to leave in secret. The movie didn’t touch on this and made it look easier than it might be for a lot of women and men who leave an abusive relationship. It was the first movie in a while that I got bored which was a shame as it had so much potential to be amazing. I would probably give it a miss or wait till you can stream it.

Loved this movie from the moment it started. Dev Patel was fantastic and liked how his character was so brave and had tenacity. I also loved the connections he made with people and what they taught him. I think Dev Patel also co- wrote, produced and directed it which is impressive. I liked how the movie was gritty but also very compassionate as some scenes brought me to tears. Great music too. I loved it but John Wick still slightly comes out on top for me 😉

I was really impressed with immaculate. The story line was thought provoking about religion and being a woman where Cecilia eventually took charge of the choices she wanted to make for her life as a female. When she arrived there this was not the case as the people only seemed to care about the baby and not Cecilia’s needs and well-being. If you questioned it you would be harmed like her friend who spoke out. In the end she took back power and made choices for herself. There were also a few jumpy moments as well. Overall a great movie.

This movie was so disappointing I would give it a miss. The story line was so boring and lacked excitement ( I reckon Dakota Johnson should stick to 50 shades of Grey movies) the villain nothing else to say 😳

I actually enjoyed this movie. Loved all the action especially after a week of work just what I needed. Also love Jason Statham and really suits his beard too 😁

I loved this series it’s a must see 😁
