I FEEL CHEATED. There was so much hype at Venice Film Festival about this project but - alas - hype is all it is. Cate is the only reason for 2 stars, otherwise, it would get the bare minimum rating. Catherine Ravenscroft (Blanchett) has it all, while Stephen Brigstocke (Kline) has lost it all. In flashbacks and with an overwhelming level of voice-over narration (is it AI or Leila George?), we learn about tragedy at an Italian beach town involving the main character (Catherine). Lots of (soft core) s*x and little of much else, ridiculous over-acting, so little Blanchett, and this drags out at a painfully dull rate that - by episode 5 - I'm only watching for Blanchett as I don't care about the story anymore. All else aside, narration of this level is unnecessary and lazy. If I wanted to read the book, I would. How did this get such critical acclaim, how??

Vapid nonsense, courtesy of Fennell, yet again. Just watch Gossip Girl and The Talented Mr. Ripley, which this cringe rips off, extremely poorly. Absolute sh*te.

Very simply put: The acting is poor across the board, the writing is highly inconsistent, and by episode 4 - if you even make it that far - you'll be clock watching. Based on a comic of the same name, which I understand is much better than this adaptation, the story involves four pre-teen girls time travelling to the future because of some "time war". The idea is a weird mix of "Stranger Things" mixed with a hint of "Back to the Future," except there are so many confused plot points and bad CGIs that if one has any sense of storytelling, it'll end up being frustrating and awfully dull. It wasn't even picked up for a second season and having barely made it halfway through episode 4...I get why not.

Beautiful cartoon, just like Walt Disney would have done it. Music, scenery, art direction, drawings are all so suited to the country (India) the story takes place in. A classic in the real sense!

I'm not a fan of Paris and her signature vapid persona, but this was rather funny, because you can see some of the "real" Paris come through and make fun of her "dumb blonde" character. I actually laughed at some of the parts, because she really is making fun of herself in this. Overall, it's entertaining. If anyone thought these are recipes to follow, you know nothing about cooking. I know very little about cooking, but even I could tell this was more for the show than the food, so relax a little, will ya?

As much as I enjoyed the journey on "Bohemian Rhapsody," I disliked this film to the same extent. To be fair, I'm not a fan of Elton John's music, which affects my impression of this film. But while there was something that pulled at the heart strings with "Bohemian" for me, this story had the opposite effect. It was sort of like watching a musical Harry Potter while not liking Harry (which I actually do). Something just didn't work for me with this film and it's a shame, as I tend to like autobiographies. This film just wasn't it. I wouldn't recommend it and struggled to get through 3/4 of it.

This series started out really well. It had quirky elements that made it highly watchable. Series 2 was a little bit less coherent, but still entertaining to a degree. When that final episode of the series hit, though, I honestly didn't care if another season was picked up. Now watching series 3 and it's chaotic and not in a good, dramatic way, but in a "we don't know what we're doing here" way that makes me zone out while trying to finish an episode. We've got random, odd characters (Zoe Deschanel) dropping in, then dropping out, but not adding anything to the plot. And the annoying husband is the focus of the 3rd series, which we could totally do without. At this point, I'm hoping the series will get cancelled because...what are we even watching anymore?

Absolute spazzatura. LGBT slurs, misogynistic "jokes," and violence against women is UNFUNNY. Grease 🔥 is too good for the writers.

Tries too hard to be shocking and intellectual when, in fact, it's actually nothing but try-hard. Waste of the talent of Rachel Weisz.
