Another documentary masterpiece from Michael Moore. Highlighting the Flint water crisis, political corruption within the Democrats and the Republicans and putting some of America's greatest issues in perspective. In classic Moore style, the film also showcases protest narratives that are inspirational and powerful to balance out the harsh facts. Moore's presentation style is easy to understand and allows for a variety of voices to be uplifted.

They better make more of this show. Nice unique characters, engaging narratives, effortlessly diverse and most importantly radically representing the hardships of one of societies most discriminated groups. I love how Shrill shows the micro aggressions fat women face daily but also the full blown, entrenched hate. It's so important to show the journey of someone overcoming this bias and internalisation of bullying, very inspirational. Also gotta say I love how the friends in this show call Annie out whenever she is being unfair or selfish.

The critic reviews do not do this film justice as a triumph of feminist cinema. Such a touching story, very emotional and powerful. The start of the film feels a little jarring and strangely paced but that is all redeemed when getting to know these amazingly fleshed out characters and seeing how they interact with each other and confronting situations. The acting is fantastic and the film is well shot (though at times slightly amateur) with the backdrop of beautiful Indian country. The film touches on indigenous rights, women's rights, friendship, marriage, lesbian love and police incompetence whilst still remaining throughly entertaining and sweet. Loved it, highly recommend!

Enjoyable, relatable, naturalist approach to a remake. Gender swap works well, Zoe Kravitz is ridiculously hot and plays the lead role well. The characters are enjoyable and interesting. Plot is super simple, nothing special at all it's just that there are a lot of good moments that make this show worth watching.

The first season riffs on the tone of classic crime thrillers while incorporating a dark, romantic soundtrack, incredible character performances and a tight, dynamic and exciting script, adding a unique flair. There seam to be a lot of criticisms that the first season is unrealistic. This show has a fiction-focused, campy tv thriller vibe, if you're not into that to some degree, it might not be for you. Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer are fantastic in the lead roles and the show succeeds at gender reversing some of the classic crime-thriller storylines. The second season reflects this tone well, revisiting spectacular locations and similar themes. It was entertaining enough despite being a slight let down after the first. However, three episodes into the third season and I'd say confidently that the show has lost it's charm. The characters are being written in a way that is inconsistent with the way they were originally written, often saying and doing things they wouldn't have in seasons one and two. The plot is tiresome and unexciting and the pacing is questionably slow. The characters intentions are blurred over and crucial elements left unexplained. It really has gone in a strange direction. A main character is killed off in the first episode and replaced by a random new character who is never mentioned in the earlier seasons. As with all of the new characters, this one totally lacks any real depth or the whimsy and realism that defined the original characters. The third season adds nothing new to the already existing plots and feels as though it is attempting to ride off of the success of some of the interesting and unconventional plot devices without adding anything new at all. Thus making the show feel tired and used. Very disappointing. Highly recommend seasons one and two.
