I enjoyed this film about “Beth” answering a crisis hotline. I found a part of myself in each character that phoned in. I loved the set (provided a sense of comfort and safety) which is filled with colors, patterns, art, and little figures. Beth talks about her Uncle’s place with “strange things everywhere.” The woman with the UK accent who calls in draws light into the discourse about people in crisis which ties everything together. I would highly recommend this film for anyone who is interested in the human condition, sociology, psychology and case studies.

If you like true crime shows I would highly recommend this film. This movie kept me in my seat because of the twists and turns. The police department is Bazaar comparatively to the United States. I have so many questions. Why didn’t the guy who chased the criminal get any recognition at all? The police were doing their job, why would they receive anything else? Weird. **Why are the 2 remaining suspects still doing time?** I think one died and he was innocent, was his family compensated at all? Ok I’m done with questions for now.

I watched this movie having no clue, until roughly 20 minutes in, that it was about the singer from the band, “Joy Division.” I clicked play only because of the black and white photo of a random good looking dude with an intense look in his eyes. I caught myself remembering what it was like being young and learning about love by proxy especially in the scene that takes place in Ian’s bedroom where he is watching a make out session right in front of him. The way the actor (who is incredible) responds to this situation drew me into this film. The way the actress (amazing) responds to Ian in this scene showcases the charisma he had. My youngest brother liked this band and I remember some of the songs and how they reminded me of Charles Bukowski’s poetry. I enjoyed listening to the music and watching (yes we have seen these biopic stories before) Ian slowly allowing himself to dance/sing/create each time getting better, at the same time battling his poor decision making in marriage and procreation at such a young age, along with his illness and in living as an empathetic human being. I highly recommend this film. The director, actors and producer made an excellent experience here.

I was unexpectedly drawn into this beautiful story about the power of a first love. The location was luscious and I was imagining myself living in that “somewhere in Northern Italy” village. So much to take in visually, emotionally suddenly finding myself feeling vulnerable. The actor, TC is extraordinary gifted.

This was unexpectedly just crazy! I started thinking like a criminal but I’m not a criminal! I swear lol!

I love this show and Amy is the sweetest sister and mother to Tammy and Gage. She is a good wife too. I admire both Amy and Tammy. I mean these girls keep it real! Tammy I understand your struggle and can you please be nice to your sister? You are so lucky to have a sister who does so much for you. Tammy I can tell you are stubborn and when your ready that stubbornness will change to the other side to keep you eating healthy. Give Lil Bit a hug!!

I enjoyed this movie more than thought I would. I was thinking about these millionaires who think they know it all. The couple in this movie who chose not not settle out of court and sue, thought they were so smart. They wanted revenge or “emotional” validation about how hurt they were/are over purchasing a fake piece of ART. My take in this? It’s the buyers responsibility to get documentation that the piece is real ok? If you are stupid enough to “trust” anyone when spending your millions by being greedy and wanting to show off how rich you are, it’s on YOU not the Gallery, or dealer to make certain it’s real. My God! Misspelled artist name? Really? The others who settled were/are smart. The older couple, shame on you! Next time spend your millions on something worthwhile and step out if your “emotional” state of feeling ripped off. As far as I’m concerned you are dumb dumbs!
