I absolutely loved this movie. The actors executed their roles so well! I laughed so hard at some of the cultural misunderstandings. And cried with some of them too. This is such a unique Christmas and cultural mashup. It was good to see something on Netflix that was not just American cultural mishaps, but Norwegian and Indian. Every moment of this movie was mesmerizing, full of funny and endearing moments. I am even happier to find out that this movie is based on a true story. I hope the reality was just as funny and touching as the movie version. I laughed and cried so much throughout the show.

Several of my favorite actors are in this adaptation, and I really wanted to love it. With every episode, I hated this version more and more. The entire thing strayed so far from the book and other adaptations. I get the creative license and interpreting it in a unique way, but my great expectations for this adaptation did not come to fruition. I think my disappointment was in the Pip storyline most of all. There were a few things I did like about this interpretation but it was from other characters mostly. I know Great Expectations is generally depressing, but this version was so extremely depressing and full of heartache and negative scenes (even gross scenes), that it really turned me off. I will not be watching this version again (I have previous versions on DVD).

I absolutely LOVED this series. It is such a poignant look at the stressors of working for a law firm and the social dynamics that affect the daily workload. It takes a hard look at Corporate America and how the old white boys club still run everything despite their claims to be minority friendly. The cast is phenomenal, I loved every single actor in this. The storyline was really intriguing and keeps one's attention. I would recommend this series to any intelligent, diversity-supporting individual. There are some really hot sex scenes as well. I really hope Netflix will green-light a second season!

Such an intriguing movie! My 79-year-old father and I absolutely loved every second of this movie. We had to stop the movie several times so my dad could read the subtitles in a timely fashion, but the spoken French was beautiful to listen to as well. The plot was captivating, the acting phenomenal, the scenery lovely, and the music beautiful. We both want to watch this magnificent film again soon!

I am always up for a sweet romantic film, but this one missed the mark for me. Overall the writing was cringy at times with the actors delivering many of the lines as badly as they were written (especially the men). The main love interest for Vivian called Roy had an Italian accent which could have been sexy, but fell flat with lack of inflection and the uninspired script. The story was extremely choppy, with little fluidity and many gaps in between scenes, making one wonder if they missed scenes. The actors were attractive, but without excellent acting, writing, and directing, the film was extremely disappointing. The best part of the movie was the music. The main characters Bella Thorne and Benjamin Mascolo (B3n), Vivian and Roy respectively, have a catchy song called Up in Flames at the end of the movie.

Oh, I absolutely loved this movie. It was such a different take on the usual pre-college romance stories. It had such a unique, real, and tough-perspective way of approaching the relationship between the two lovebirds. The film showed some of the beautiful moments between the couple but really concentrated on the theme that they would go their separate ways prior to college. It was all about finding oneself as an individual at the same time as looking at the impact that a supportive significant other has on that path, whether they stay prominent in each other's lives or not.. Definitely worth watching this sweet and fun movie, in my opinion.

This series is absolutely exquisite! Every detail from the cinematography, music, writing, setting, and acting all blend together in perfect harmony. The themes of social & economic class disparities, science, scapegoating, superstition, faith, and of course infinite love, weave together effortlessly to make this a very powerful story.

I really liked this romance. It was not your typical clichéd rich private school girl falls for rugged working not-rich boy. There were some deeper character developments going on that added more depth to the story. The movie held my interest (even though I had to watch in subtitles), and just had this lovely energy about it. The kite surfers were a fun group of friends with so much happy, welcoming energy. This is a unique, fresh, and fun Polish movie. I loved it.

Such a gorgeous movie, full of sentiment and beauty. The main characters are so sweet and cute. Such an adorable couple! The music is absolutely luminous, from the soundtrack to the popular playlist of tunes. Much of the scenery is beautiful...the ocean, a mural in a museum, and far-off memories. This movie made me laugh, cry, get mad, and excited. Overall it is a very sweet, gorgeously told story.

I loved this time travel movie. It had the perfect amount of action, science, comedy, sentiment, and love. Ryan Reynolds is fun as ever in this role, and his younger counterpart, played by Walker Scobell, is as well. Zoe Saldana, Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo complete the cast with beautiful performances. Catherine Keener is phenomenal in her roles as well. I enjoyed every moment of this fun movie.

Every second of this series is intriguing. There is so much mystery surrounding the story as the main character (Jamie Dornan) has amnesia and sets out to find out about himself. Every episode takes us on a thrilling ride of discovery with every twist and turn. The Australia outback with harsh weather, animal, and people conditions is the setting, and brings so much depth to the series. Also the music is beautiful. I love The Ink Spots' song, If I Didn't Care and it's beauteous simplicity contrasts with the hyper vigilance of the story.

Such a gorgeous production! I loved every second of the musical numbers as the performances evoked so much emotion and beautiful choreography. It felt really magical and surreal to me. The sets were stunning with all the fabrics and furniture set up to visually stun the audience. I have loved Peter Dinklage's performances since I first saw him in The Station Agent, long before Game of Thrones. He was fantastic as Cyrano and gave a performance with so much depth to it. I will watch this movie multiple times.

Such a wonderful movie with a very talented cast. A fun, romantic, and self-actualizing plot. I really enjoyed the entire film from the comedic nuisances about life and work to the high hopes of career and romance. The entire cast worked so well with each other and brought a refreshing spin to the film. I absolutely loved it!

This Viking tale had me hooked from beginning to end. Frida Gustavsson is phenomenal as the lead Freydis Eriksdotter. Leo Sutter absolutely shines as Harold Sirgurdsson with great acting and a buff body. Sam Corlett is fantastic as Leif Eriksson brother to Freydis and leader of The Greenlanders. The entire cast is absolutely brilliant. The storyline is good with the intertwining history of Scandinavia and Britain referenced to and unfolding in the plot. A lot of twists and turns as leaders vie for power, love, peace, and control. I can't wait for more seasons!!

Such a sweet love-story movie from start to finish. The lovebirds are from opposite sides in terms of socio-economic status (family of orientation) in late 19th century Russia, but are parallel sweet souls (twin-flame soulmates) and both motivated to learn new things. The determination to work towards equality in education (women were predominantly denied higher ed at this time) is a strong theme besides the romantic love story. Some amazing costumes, settings, and stunts are also included. And of course the best possible Happy Ever After ending which is crucial (in my opinion).

This was a cute romance movie. It had some sweet moments of real connection with feelings of admiration, desire, and love. I like the premise of allowing oneself to be challenged and grow because someone else helps them to be introspective. The scenery was beautiful. The extras at the book readings were fun. The music was probably the best part of the movie for me. It was a good movie, but not great, overall just underwhelming for me (a romance enthusiast).

Such a well written and acted movie! I love Love-Stories even if they are long-suffering and painful at times. This story was unique in its plot, even though time-traveling love-story movies have been made before. This is a must watch. It delved so deeply into love and all that it encompasses - passion, fear, longing, jealousy, confusion, loneliness, repair, and release. The acting really evoked all these roller coaster emotions so well...the cast is phenomenal (and beautiful). The journey this movie takes us on is truly breathtaking, inspirational, and beautiful. The music is also absolutely sublime! Gorgeous production!

A really lovely film that explores life and how love fits in to it. The whole movie came together very nicely with the plot, acting, settings, music, and costumes. I enjoyed every second of it, and was very pleased with the ending.

Such a fun and sweet movie. It is a similar plot to the movie How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, but with some scenes that were definitely unique. Easily a movie that could be overly "corny", it actually was more sweet than anything, even with some typical "cliches". The lead actors are absolutely gorgeous and played their sophisticated characters quite well. I also really liked the music, but wasn't able to find a "Shazam" for all of the tunes, nor could I find a list in the credits.

Such a fun, romantic, thought-provoking, and sensual movie. It is a beautiful coming of age film, in my opinion. It delivered all the wonderful witty and sexy chess moves one expects in this kind of movie. One watch is not enough for me. I can't wait to watch it again. Plus it is a good way to brush up on my Spanish as a 2nd language.

I really liked this movie. Such a sweet RomCom. The main character is totally relatable. I enjoyed the storyline, it wasn't completely predictable. I found the pacing to be perfect, it kept my interest. I liked the chemistry between the main character and her romantic lead. The other characters were all very unique and interesting so added to the story nicely. I liked this movie because it was sweet and unique.

I've never seen a sitcom like this before, it seems to be very unique. Annie Murphy who played Alexis in Schitt's Creek, stars in this dark comedy, which is why I watched...because I like Annie Murphy. I say that this sitcom is unique because it has canned laughter & bright scenes juxtaposed with dark drama & lighting...Very interesting, something I haven't seen done before. It is like a play that goes off on a lone soliloquy and the lighting and mood changes, or 2 different styles of sitcoms combined. In the beginning of episode one, I didn't think I would like the show due to the corny canned dialogue, but soon it appeared there was so much more brewing with some of the characters and this was reflected so well in the show. The stark contrast of the styles in this show actually work, and I found it to be intriguing. I'm looking forward to next season.

I found this movie to be fun...a cute period drama meets modern times. Entertaining stories from both period that were intertwined well. I knew it would be funny with a cast with Melanie Lynsey, Judy Greer, Justin Long, and Ryan Phillippe starring. It had some interesting twists and turns that I did not predict or expect. It also had a great supporting cast with Luis Guzman, Patrick Duffy and other actors I am not familiar with yet but will look up. In my opinion this movie is entertaining and worth the watch.

I don't watch tons of action movies, but when I do I expect them to be phenomenal. Without Remorse was absolutely perfect for/to me. Michael B. Jordan is a fantastic actor in my opinion, as are Jodie Turner-Smith, Jamie Bell, and Guy Pearce. The storyline held my attention, I enjoyed most of the action/military maneuvers, and the psychological strategies were fascinating. I absolutely loved Michael B. Jordan in the role of John Kelly. I really hope there will be a sequel or a series of sequels to this movie starring Michael, Jodie, and Jamie!
