Best film I've seen in a long long time, that I never want to watch again. Acting was top-tier, sustained throughout with angst, tension, and progressive decay of the characters' physical and mental torture. A single note played out and explored, it did not let up. Perfect direction and acting. A long film that never once let go of its' grip. I felt like I just watched God for two hours. This film was not a story about the terrible thing they had to do, or the terrible event that led them there. It was about the breath of god itself, which requires uncompromising commitment to a marriage of life or death. Literally a holy film. Wow.

I don't know if it amounts to Kindness when a man almost begs a hotel receptionist to let him sleep on the couch otherwise he'd died of exposure in the sub-zero temperatures. IS that kindness or just guilt-inducing coersion? This feels staged. The man can't be alone, he has a film crew. HE isn't going to expire from exposure or starvation, because he has a film crew. Too quickly, in the episode, we're drawn into a watery-eyed world of Good-Person A, B or C, and we hear their backstory. Everyone has a backstory of tears they're pushing through. How much vetting did the crew do? How much editing through the not-very-helpful people this guy ( the host Leon) badgered to give him stuff for free otherwise he's sleeping out there in the snow? If someone came up to me that way, I wouldn't be kind to give him a couch to sleep on, I'd be put-upon. And frankly, when he tells the Native Indian guy in Canada that he's "read up about Native Indians", it's so embarrassing I was glad the guy walked away.

Only a few non-whiteactors. The producers should had had enough confidence to hire ONLY white actors - that's clearly the look they wanted, or go for it and cast lots MOREnon-whites. Because it looks bad and token there's a few black faces in this show. All of the accents are mixed up. The lead sounds like street London posh: "Dee yee?" instead of "Do you?" "Hah" instead of "hair". "Afit" instead of "afoot". This is dialogue and it bugs me. If this is historical at least get the voices some dialogue coach. Maybe I just don't like the lead, she kills the screen, not in a good way. Acting is fine, guess the producers were going for that Disney style of storytelling. Not realistic. It was ok, in a corny slapstick kind of way.

A visa setback makes the female want to give up? Who ARE these people that at the drop of a hat, their brother can just show up for a few weeks while they need company. Who DOES that? Trust fund people? I sort of lost it at the white privilege part when "We'll just hope the man is nice" lady tells the camera they're going to wing it, getting through the border without valid US visas. I somehow don't think a black person, or a larger bodied, different age-group, different facial featured person would have said that. Two white people with nothing but privilege. They seem to have plenty of cash too, even if a major selling point of this homemovie is frugal living. Vets are expensive, right?

Christiane Amanpour: Sex & Love Around the World

SO far I've seen the Tokyo episode. Christine Amanpour should stick to reporting news. This series is wafer-thin and slightly shallow. She doesn't explore any of the themes more than a touristic snapshot. For such a deep subject in Tokyo - love and sex - she doesn't nothing not done before a hundred times. Watch "The Great Happiness Space" if you want to see sex and love and the hostess club scene in Japan. There is a whole lot of drama and deep subtle emotion she doesn't get to in this episode and her demeanour isn't a good fit for the happy smiley persona she puts on here. This show is for tourists who've got no idea of the places she visits nor have done any film-watching of those places. I won't watch the rest, as I've watched enough of the Tokyo episode (where I've lived 8 years) to know she isn't even beginning to touch the reasons and background of the topic. Two stars for showing some Tokyo club scenes.

Enough! They've ripped iff so many Grey's plot lines, I cant believe it. The latest - a woman with a mean dead aunt who now suffers the same disease that will kill her unless they operate..Ive seen this directly ripped from season 1 of GA where Izzie and Christina did an autopsy. Speaking if Christina..Mina's mother showing up being a world class bytch riches stinkily of Christina's mother in GA . Too many same old's which aren't very refreshing. And BTW I love this show. I love Greenwood- he alone is the reason to watch. Conrad - I can get into the intenseness of his character however unbelievable it is. I love Mina, she does it well. The actress is good. Nic I can get long with, she's fine. The Nic Conrad relationship is without any chemistry at all. They look like brother sister, her being the dominant one. She looks like she could eat him from breakfast and I don't believe they're a couple. I don't like the mean - acting Mina's mother. She's a mix between Diane whateverhername is Preston's mother on Grey's, and Christina's mother. Of COURSE she has to be a famous doctor too. So cliche. Jamal Warner is so melodramatic and overacts it's bad. So is Leaves. The casting is good for a few actors only. The rest ( those named and few others) belong in a different show - a comedy. Danesh doesn't affect me one way of another. And what happened to the father, the missing woman ( lover of Danesh) and the storylines there? They're going to mess up this show even more if they're not careful. Personally I think it jumped BIG shark beginning of season 2, and missed the chance with Danesh and Carjump lady and the rubber babies they always seems to think will save a dying medical show. They can't use a real baby?

見たばかりいです。Bikkurishita.　ほんtいい映画です。期待超える。楽しくて面白いです。私は大き予定なし映画が大好き。 It was really refreshing to see some real funny bits too. Without a heavy storyline to remember, the story unfolded in super non-dramatic turns that are as unpredictable as they are funny and natural. I kept staring at the screen with my mouth open saying this is such a good film! The bits in the ( SPOILER) hentai shop were painfully funny and true.
