Deep Water (2022)
Trixie is the only redeeming quality
And that is saying a lot because the character was just that, a character in a movie. Nothing special. But the actor playing her was amazing.
Don't waste your time or you'll be let down by this unnecessarily long movie with a predicative plot and so many loop holes and implausible moments.
The OA (2016)
Those who get it, get it.
Like most people who have watched this, I'll say this show isn't for everyone, but if you are into great storytelling, excellent acting performances and a truly imaginative and thought-provoking story, this is top of the line. Like another reviewer said, it's best to go into this show without any expectations and to simply let the story take you on a whimsical and heart-wrenching journey. I was drawn to the show by the lead actress, Brit Marling, whose acting captivated me years ago on the film Another Earth. Once again, she did not disappoint and neither did the rest of the cast. What I love most is how this show took your everyday-run-of-the-mill-next-door characters who would never cross each other's paths in real life and banded them together on this journey that no one could explain or understand unless they, too, were a part of it. Even better is discovering why they were chosen, but it's not as obvious as you'd hope. Instead, you'd have to rely on your intuition and capacity to study and understand the human condition. Finally, most critics of this show very much dislike the ending and I'll admit, I was also disappointed at first. It was jarring and appeared to be unrelated to anything the show would have been building up to. However, I challenge everyone to give it a second look. I had actually binged this show initially, I was too enthralled and time flew by, it felt like a longer than average movie. Recently and about 9 months after watching it the first time, I re-watched over several weeks, giving me space and time to think about it more and piece minor details together I had missed the first time around -- turns out they weren't so minor. Suddenly the ending made perfect sense -- in fact, it was brilliant. I can't wait for season 2!
