National Theatre Live: Prima Facie (2022)
Something you need to experience
As soon as i heard Jodie Comer was going to do a one woman show i just needed to go and see her live in action already knowing how amazing she is. Lucky enough to get tickets and being able to experience seeing her on stage is something to really brag about.
I'm sure i went in with a full face of makeup but ended up walking out with a bare face and puffy eyes. The way she grabbed the audience as soon as she walked onto stage with a pot noodle and straight into character, from mood changes, scene changes and moving the set whilst still being in character was just mesmerising. All the way through she kept us hooked onto the story line without breaking character, making everyone laugh but then being able to cry on queue and really get you feeling the emotions she felt really had the audience silent to the point you could hear a pin drop.
The whole set was great a massive master table which Jodie easily moved across the stage, music brilliant thanks to Self Esteem really set the tone for each part, the one scene where it rained was very sad but the rain made it even more intense and emotional (i was front row and got abit wet).
As lucky as i am to see the real thing on stage, i can't recommend watching this enough. The acting amazing, the music amazing, set amazing and the storyline amazing. The deep, meaningful and strong way Jodie portrays her character is such an eye opener for people who haven't experienced any sort of sexual assault, as she really does bring you into her feelings and it was just so gripping.
Killing Eve: Hello, Losers (2022)
What i didn't want to happen, happened!
Where do i begin. First of all the 2 stars are for the 2 stars of the show! I want to thank Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer for making us fall in love with the most iconic characters I've seen on TV. Their on screen chemistry they brought us was truly amazing and watching villanelle and eves relationship develop in the most unstable way, they were the only actresses prefect for the duo.
Right down to the nitty gritty. This whole final series has been a let down for me. I felt like the comedic side of things lacked. And the whole storyline kind of disappeared from the past series and just a mess.
This episode in particular finally gave us the scenes we've been wanting to see for the past 4 series. We finally got to see both characters admit their love for each other and agree they do. We finally got a meaningful kiss, they were like a married couple throughout the whole episode. But let's clarify that this episode is the last episode. Could they not have developed their passion at the start of the series? Why at the very end?
As i mention the end, something that i don't even want to bring up but I'm pretty sure most fans will agree with me when i say the last 3 minutes of the show, DIDNT NEED TO HAPPEN.
Villanelle was an assassin, she didn't care about anything other then killing until she met Eve. We went from them being obsessed with each other, to hating each other, to working together, to befriending each other, to almost killing each other, to finally admit they can't live without each other, AND THEN THEY KILL ONE OF THEM!
Another gay character taken away from us, someone who finally found their happy place, their true love, to receive love back. KILLED! All for what?
I am sick and tired of falling in love with characters you see grow and change for the better only for them to get what they want and die straight after they get it! Let us not forget about Lexa.
I hate to compare things to the GOT ending, but this feels like one of those. It felt rushed and i still don't even understand the 12, i feel as if there's loop holes that haven't been answered and all together the ending was unnecessary.
Help (2021)
It's nothing but the truth, an insight on what care homes actually went through during the pandemic!
I can't exaggerate enough over how well this film was put together. Not only mentioning the fact Jodie Comer has yet again done an amazing job with this role but her and Stephen Graham's chemistry really brought the characters to life and showed us what it was like having dementia and caring for someone with dementia. Trust me, it's not easy.
Working in home care myself, i have been in the middle of the struggles working through the pandemic. For those who don't understand why carers don't get much recognition, the main reasons are in this film. Not only did they mention facts at the end, but also the true emotion of the monologue at the very end makes you realise how bad it is within the care industry. You know it's about to get real when Jodie comer breaks the fourth wall.
This film is such an eye opener, i would recommend it for anyone. And thank you Jodie comer and Stephen graham on your performances, pure talent.
The Haunting of Bly Manor: The Beast in the Jungle (2020)
Amazing ending to an amazing story
The gripping horrors of the Bly manor, not knowing who's dead or alive all made sense in the last episode. The beginning foreshadowing the end making you realise which characters are who brings such relief knowing the characters built up their own story throughout the series. The sheer love story between the au pair made me fall in love with their characters even more.
Love a good horror, most horrors focus on scaring those who watch. However watching Bly manor made me focus more on the story which makes me concentrate more making the scary parts more thrilling and more jumpy. I enjoyed this series just as much as Hill House
The One and Only Ivan (2020)
Brought back feelings from my childhood
I don't know why i put myself through the emotions when it comes to watching animal films. I'm such an emotional wreck when it comes to films like this. This film put me through every emotion there is, i cried about 5 times beginning to the end, shouted at the tv and laughed.
It's films like these children should watch, not only is it amazing but it also shows how animals are treat even today. Showing kids how animals can behave and how they should be treated and where they belong.
Truly brilliant, heartbreaking, emotional, happy and relieving film 10/10!
Black Water: Abyss (2020)
Nothing much
I love a good tense water film. However whilst there were a few tense moments watching this film, i can't help but notice we barely saw a crocodile. I understand it's the directions of hiding a giant crocodile to make it more intense but i was expecting to see more of a crocodile considering it's about crocodiles! Even scenes where the croc mauled a character the camera was just everywhere i felt dizzy watching and not knowing what was going on at the moment.
It was just too much of a mess for me to give it more stars
Criminal: UK (2019)
Well done!
Love a good watch where you have no idea what's going on and who's done what! Perfect example of what great detectives do in order to find out the truth playing mind games. Considering it's mainly filmed in one room the great acting gives us everything we need to make it a suspense and brilliant tv show. 9/10! Would have been a 10 if there were more episodes :)
The I-Land (2019)
Waste of time
Thought i would give it ago with the likes of Kate bosworth and Alex pettyfer. Made it through episode 1, just like the characters i have no idea what's going on. Not only bad direction and acting but its like lost on crack. Thought i would give episode 2 a go but with yet more bad acting and basically no story line I've kind of given up. That's 80 minutes of my life I'll never get back. I wouldn't waste your time watching it
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Well then
Utter rubbish, what a waste of 8 seasons for it to end like that. Never gonna invest so much emotion in a tv show ever again after that!
A Star Is Born (2018)
Truly amazing love story
Mixed emotions through out watching a couple come together and going through ups and downs. Showing the things people do for love. Lady Gaga played ally amazingly, deserves an Oscar for her performance. Bradley Cooper portrayed jack as an alcoholic brilliantly. Cooper directed and produced it perfectly. The songs hit me right in the feels giving me goosebumps through out. Showing that true love can bring the best out of people and that they would do anything in order to make someone happy.
The Greatest Showman (2017)
Not just a musical!
This film does not only have the most catchy and brilliant songs ever but the storyline just goes to show the importance of accepting those who are different. Showing that not everyone is alone and that family is important no matter what the circumstances. Cannot stop watching the film and the songs are on repeat! Must watch!
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Everything and everything!
So much to say about this film! So many things happened! Tom Holland hit me with the feels, love the new spidey suit! Can tell peter looks up to Tony, and the slight look on Tony's face when peter turns to dust is heartbreaking! Loki don't know how many times he's died so i hope they do something about bringing him back to life! Thor is legit THE GOD! Gamora well she deserved better! Loving teenage groot! Overall fantastic film, looking forward to the next films such as captain marvel! I would give it a 10 but the ending almost gave me a heart attack and now it's a waiting game for the next film!
