The Lost Daughter (2021)
Confusing
I love stories, books, movies, tv series, etc. I just didn't understand this very well. The general thread is simple enough to follow, but much of the small details made little sense. Pine Cones falling and causing injury, child's dolls full of unpleasantness, unrealistic interactions between strangers, to list just a few.
The most confusing? The end, I thought I'd missed something and had to watch it again... but alas not. Maybe I'm not clever enough, but the details in the ending made no sense at all to me...
So, to evaluate overall? A poor story that left me confused.
Normal People: Episode #1.12 (2020)
Don't forget the father!
I'm broad agreement with the other reviews for the last episode.
Remember ... the father of Marianne was a brutal bully. So, presumably her mother was used to abuse, the brother was following his fathers lead, as was Marianne in following her mother's example. Connel broke this pattern in refusing to harm Marianne. So, really, the story was kind of about overcoming, or dealing with, a dysfunctional family.
Fat: A Documentary (2019)
Excellent Summary on the current state of Nutritional knowledge
This documentary is aimed at those people who are curious about their health and what they eat. Presented in a way that quite entertaining and not too dry!
There is so much nutritional mis-information around it can be very tricky to try and make any sense of it all. Sadly, in my opinion, 'Nutritional Science' doesn't really exist at the moment. So many highly qualified experts disagree with each other. All this tells me personally, as a reasonably well read lay person, is that these opposing camps can't all be right, or wrong I guess!
Most professional health-care people are bound by their professional bodies to keep to a script, so can't really be trusted or expected to support anything outside what they are told or guided to do. Thankfully this is slowly changing as the 'Wisdom of the Crowds' is really passing them by, at an every increasing pace as individuals find out what works for them.
This movie / documentary will give the open-mined person a good heads up on a certain perspective or way of eating and living. They are then free to make their own life choices and hopefully see some changes or results that may help them as an individual.
WARNING - once you engage with the information here you cannot un-learn!! It may well be life changing or even life-saving for some...
From Darkness (2015)
Great scenes in Scotland.
Watched this mainly because I'll watch anything with scenes on the West Coast of Scotland. As far as I can tell it was filmed on the island of Luing, just to the south of Oban. Well, the ferry scene at the beginning of episode 2 was defiantly filmed there. Whether they film-makers were trying to be deliberately obscure or not is hard to tell, but they carefully avoided filming any kind of signs etc. keeping the viewer guessing the whole time :-)
As for the programme itself, my wife wasn't interested in watching beyond the 1st episode....Really a bit slow with poor dialogue, the narrative floe was not very realistic at all and would not be the way any kind of normal people would interact.
