Some plot holes, but a good watch. Twists and turns. Worth it.

Can't believe the haters in Rotten Tomatoes and other sites who can't get past it being about Reagan. Quaid and Miller do an excellent job of portraying them. The script is a little light because it is based on actual events, it's not fiction. They certainly highlight the favorable and limit the unfavorable, though it is there. And whether you like him or not, he was responsible for great achievements including the fall of the Soviet Union. My guess is that young people would learn a lot about history from the film that they don't hear in schools. It's an easy and interesting watch.

Cage is great at playing an unhinged "killer", but the film drags, the plot is kind of dumb, the other acting is so so. Stream for free if you are into serial killer movies. Do not pay for this dud.

It's well-written and well-acted. Very moving and makes one appreciate living now. Many episodes move me (an avowed curmudgeon) to tears - joy, sadness, hope, beauty. Stories are interesting and varied. Gives a glimpse into life 60 years ago. I'm glad I can look up some of the words and references of that time in London. As for some of the negative reviews - Yes, it does get a little preachy on social topics, but not in an in-your-face, woke manner. Yes, it has lots of pregnant woman screaming in labor. Get over it. That's like complaining that there are too many animals in a nature show. Yes - there is turnover of cast, which is disappointing, but expected in a long running show.

Different. Some new twists. Not completely unbelievable. Gore without it being rampant. But way too long for what it did. If it had been 90 mins, it would have been a 4.

Excellent film though it takes significant liberties with events to make it more sensational. But the underlying reality of the famine, as well as the unforgiveable support of Stalin by many journalists, especially Duranty, is a lesson for all of us. The fact that Putin is now trying once again to subjugate Ukraine is an important lesson for us all. The saying "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" has proven to have merit. And for those that criticize the wealth gap in the US, perhaps one needs to see how people (not in the party) live in communist countries.
