Avgrunden (2023)
Predictable garbage full of clichés
Plays out like it was written by a high school film student and their grandparents. Whoever wrote this needs to go back to school and find some creativity. Don't waste your hard earned money on this. It's a shame because the actors are good and the area it takes place in is historically interesting. But really none of the areas history is really explored and it may as well served as a green screen background with a b-grade story slapped on top of it. Useless romances and agrevated relations, poor CGI that looks like it came straight out of the 90s. This was meant to be one of Swedens big budget movies of the year. What a waste.
Maid (2021)
Finally something worth watching on Netflix
Brilliant mini series. Emotional rollercoaster. Really digs into the total despair of someone in a mentally abusive relationship and a mentally unstable family. She does make some really poor decisions that you can't help but get annoyed at, but it doesn't take away from the greatness of this show. One cannot help but wish to advise her against taking a writing degree and ending back up where she started.. anything but a writing degree..
The North Water (2021)
Fantastic acting.
Really great acting and great production quality. Enjoyable little journey.
Druk (2020)
Not what I initially thought this film would be
The movie is actually quite dark, philosophical, and realistic. Acting is spot on and the pace of the movie is great.
The Chair (2021)
Uses academia as a backdrop to a cheap comedy with dry writing
I came for something academic and left with some cheap laughs and terrible writing. No likable characters and no deep indulgence into real academic systemic and cultural realities. You could remove the academic backdrop and replace it with basically any workplace and you'd have the same story. Really poor quality show that offers the viewer nothing. Really feels like someone came up with the script on the back of a banana skin which was then was found by Adam Sandler on his way to give a speech at the Oxford union about comedies role in the world.
