The Woman in White (2018)
Irritating Watch
I have see many versions of The Woman in White - none as irritating as this one. The two female leads are so naive and their expressions are irritating. They constantly seem muted/silenced by the odd and strange occurrences around them and too "weak" to do anything.
Not worth the watch it drags on for absolutely no reason.
The King (2019)
Great but Hal/Henry so Noble?
A wonderful performance by Timothee (as usual he carries the whole film), but its just hard for me to believe that he was such a righteous man ... given his age and well known debauchery ... it was hard for me to understand how his character did a 180. Also, the frailty of his body made me wonder how he could even fight with all that chainmail and armor ...?!?
After (2019)
AMAZING ADAPTATION TO THE BOOKS
I LOVED THIS MOVIE. I loved it because it was a true ADAPTATION of the After books which .... were not my favorite read to be honest. This movie fixed everything that I didn't like about the books. For example, it brought a diversity of personalities which you don't see in the books and there were way less "Tessa crying" moments, which were so repetitive in the books. HERO played Hardin AMAZINGLY WELL. I never thought they could find an actor who would so closely resemble Hardin--but they did. I remember Hero playing the young Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and I knew instantly that his career would take off when he got older. His ability to play dark, brooding characters is truly phenomenal.
Josephine was absolutely beautiful, confident and strong. She is the Tessa I prefer to the Tessa in the books. Her smile, her eyes, her voice, everything she did was perfect. She LOOKED exactly as I pictured in my head.
For those diehard fans of After that didn't like it, I truly feel bad. However, movies are never like the books.....take Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings just as a few examples.
This movie is so romantic and beautifully filmed. It is not a waste of your money so please go see it!!!!!!!!!!!
