Cyrano (2021)
Artistry in a movie. Ignore criticism of their voices!
I didn't know anything of this story/movie or actors prior to watching. It was a deeply emotional ride... and the heart yearning emotions are incredibly well portrayed. If you've lived unrequited love, you'll feel this one and relive emotions.
I'm genuinely surprised and VERY disappointed to see comments against the actors and their singing voices!! They were raw and perfect for the setting, bringing "normal humanness" if it all. No way would perfected voices have suited these roles. And I hope the actors feel proud of their roles.
So much of the acting is done in isolation, a feat in itself. The bed & letter scenes are artistically sexual, with no actual sexual activities occurring.
It's like a cross of Romeo & Juliet and Shakespeare in Love. The cinematography is beautiful and it's a artistic tapestry of peoples emotions. Not an easy emotional ride, but a worthy movie.
A Christmas Princess (2019)
Potential but lacks punch
The storyline is clever and the main actors are lovely, but where he really brings it and brings out all the feels, she doesn't suit the role at all (she shows no passion for her profession and is way too moody) nor is there any chemistry between them. Many of the other actors have some weird fake semi-cartoonish acting going on that just makes it feel awkward throughout. Pity, as it has some potential.
The Durrells (2016)
Love it! Can't wait for more!
I had not heard of or read the book - but I am really loving this show. The characters are well developed, the setting fantastic and the verbal exchanges appropriate for the emotional roller-coasters being depicted.
I really can not understand the negative comments about this show - especially the actors or acting! Each character successfully makes you want to either hug or slap them, and you cheer when things go well and worry when they aren't.
I even have my Parents watching it now, and they are equally enjoying it.
The cinematography leaves you feeling like you crawled through the dirty house and wore yourself out by the end too. It's like a poor- man version of Downton Abbey.
All round - fantastic! I just wish that Season 2 was already made and ready for watching!
