Destroyer (2018)
Gritty and raw, devoid of any sentimentality
Kidman plays the broken and haunted detective brilliantly. The timeline goes full circle and delivers an excellent plot which never gets too deep or over sensationalises. Kidman's character is literally broken beyond repair and in her mind beyond redemption. As she seeks to fix the things she's done wrong The other characters in the film are subordinate to her story line, the story is her story, not the fellow cops, her daughter, her lover and her nemesis, all of whom dip in and out of the narrative but never with any real depth or solo scene. Well worth a watch.
The Greatest Dancer (2019)
Horrendous
Terrible format, 30 seconds of dancing to every 10 minutes of padding, stupid idea letting the audience decide who goes through, it's BGT without the dogs. The most gifted and talented are at the mercy of the populist sentimental vote - fat dancing dads - seriously? What's with the dippy receptionist? Just lost 40 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
