True Detective (2014)
Should've been separate mini-series instead
Season 1: 8/10. Season 2: 7/10. Season 3: 6/10. Season 4: 4/10.
It doesn't really matter how good the final episode of the fourth season will be - it won't make up for the fact that the previous five episodes has been mediocre at best, and that the story is totally out of place for this show.
I do like both Jodie and Kali, as well as the rest of the cast, but the writing, story and basically everything else is not on par with previous seasons.
What I do like besides the cast is the setting. It had great potential to be dark (literally) and mysterious, but disappointed big time.
Do note that my total score (8/10) only applies to the first season of the show.
Split (2016)
Cringe
This movie felt, to me, like something a bored teenager would create by trying to make a modern adaptation of 'The Silence of the Lambs'... Awful :)
The acting was fine, but I felt bad for the actors and actresses throughout the whole movie..
Lost Girls and Love Hotels (2020)
More "Love" than "Lost"
I didn't really have any expectations other than shots of beautiful Japaneese aestethics which I got to some extent, even though I think that it felt a bit "touristy" and repeating at times.
As for the plot and acting I did not expect much. And except for the very first scene which I didn't like at all because it felt a bit cheesy and unnecessary seeing as you would understand what kind of girl Margaret was rather quickly by just watching the movie anyways... I hoped for more focus on the lost girl and less (but some) love hotels. One thing I liked about the many "love scenes" were that they were short and rather silent unlike some movies where there's awkward moaning for 10 minutes straight.
If you are looking for something as good as "Lost In Translation" or some block buster with explotions every other second you shouldn't watch this one. But if you want to look at some pretty cinematography with an okay story you should go for it! Especially if you like movies set in Japan. I can confidently say that I wouldn't have watched it if the movie had taken place anywhere else, but I'm glad that I did.
