Really liked it! Straight forward exposition, good acting, good actor compatibility, very good job at relating an entertainment medium into the universal message of reality - as good storytelling does.

I don't know why I stayed. Professor Willem Dafoe announced the ending of the movie thirty minutes before the movie ended and that's when I should have left. The rest of the movie carried on exactly how he said it. I never watched Nosferatu (1922), but this left a sour taste in my mouth. Bye.

Just ok. Primary character’s development is lackluster. My hopes were high and nothing really happened.

Honestly an excellently entertaining series. I really hope that there are more. The acting is fabulous and so many aspects of design in this show feel so natural - it's beautiful. I love the paralleling between Max's storyline and Carson's.

While watching this film, it made me firmly believe over and over again that this is perfect modern science fiction. There are slight nitpicks in the story - which I’m sure comes from cutting parts of the movie in post. I cried in theatre. The actors were phenomenal and the movie itself is visually and audibly compelling. Just beautiful.

One of the greatest movies I have seen of all time. I would watch over and over again. The talented cast, in my opinion, were so beneficial to what I understood was commentary on the entertainment industry. While the overarching theme is apparent as Grief and the ability/inability to overcome grief - I understand that this movie may not rub the right way when a lot of the message regarding the performing arts requires a bit more than a basic understanding of the entertainment industry (theatre/film). At face value, there is satirical, light humor.

Beau is Afraid (BIA) is outrageously bad. I’ve watched Ari Astor before, I’ve liked Hereditary. However, BIA is his worst piece yet. The writer director instructed audiences to ignore details - so when surrealism, which naturally invokes questions, begs the question, Ari Astor instead basically says “don’t worry about it”. If I’m told not to pay attention to details, why pay any attention to the rest of the movie? If I can’t ask myself questions about details because details don’t matter, then 2h59m of a movie is an entire waste. Without providing spoilers, BIA involves an excellent amount of set up, but fails to address the set up - as the writer director himself says to ignore such details. I am not surprised this was a box office fail.

I have never watched more than 1 or 2 episodes in medical dramas, yet I could not get my eyes off this show. I am incredibly sad that it’s over. There is minimal vulgar language and the drama is not backed by long shots of an actor’s disbelief face. It is a feel-good show - where patients matter first and conflicts of self, love, abuse, sacrifice, loss, etc are something found in all characters. The characters are never perfect and are deeply flawed which makes this show feel so much better to watch rather than seeing a perfect good-doctor do perfect-good things all the time.

Really great and accurate to the play “The Glorias” which is what the movie is based on. It has some flare to it aside from the episode series that takes a more documentary based approach as I’ve been told.

If you had high expectations because of the book series, this adaptation will feel low quality. That’s all.
