Miss Scarlet & the Duke (2020)
So many historical inaccuracies...
Am I the only one who gets annoyed by the historical inaccuracies? I only saw two episodes so far, but can list at least 4 things that don't make sense:
Ep. 1 everyone should have seen from the outside the Scarlets were a house in mourning: windows closed, curtains drawn, and inside paintings and mirrors covered. She and the staff should all be dressed in mourning clothes too.
Miss Scarlet keeps taking her hat off when she's inside, which women didn't do. Also, in ep. 2 she doesn't even wear hat outside!
Then in ep . 2 Ivy is washing using a washboard, but she's using it completely wrong. You would have it the other way around, leaning against your body with its top, so you can actually use some force. Ooh, these things really get me, while otherwise I quite like the show. I just wish the creators would have done a little more research, it's not that hard to find these things. It seems sloppy.
The Secret Garden (2020)
It's too much
This movie looks beautiful, it really does. And the acting is good. But why oh why did they feel they needed to upgrade an already amazing story? It's too embellished, and there are new storylines added that weren't in the book. Why? The story is magical enough as it is!
Miss Americana (2020)
A little onesided
I really liked this documentary, it gave an insight into who Taylor Swift is and what she struggles with, and hits on some darker points in her career. However, it does only show Taylor from a positive POV; there's only the feud with Kanye, where Kanye is obviously the bad guy, but there's no mention of any of the other feuds where Taylor may not have been solely the victim. I missed that a bit, this could have been so much more. But I did like how she decided to break her silence on politics and is now brave enough to take a stand. That's always a win.
