Reviews

I went I to this show totally excited. There's just so much body positivity and showing that people other than the ultra glam and young can and do have positive sexual experiences. I thought for sure all of the negative reviews were from misogynistic men. After all I had seen so many reviews specifically targeting Lena Dunham's non-hollywood body. Unfortunately it was her character that turned me off of the show.

It has absolutely nothing to do with her body, mind you. Those reviews that specifically target her body are still 100% body-shaming jerks. But GEEZ is the main character awful. She's the most self-centered, mean, obnoxious person. I used to be an atypical 20-something woman and I never ever treated people the way she does.

The rest of the main characters have their own flaws, but NOTHING near as bad as her. At least in the episodes I was able to get through before giving up. And their flaws all seem to be reasonable considering their backstories.

The British chick Jessa who's a partier and disappears from people's lives because that's basically how her parents were makes sense. I actually had a friend with a similar story that acted much like this character did. The naive young lady just coming into her sexuality later than her friends is plenty of people I've known. Marnie's inability to figure out how she feels about her boyfriend was me for awhile.

But for the life of me I can't figure out why Hannah is so incredibly awful to people and thinks she's so very put up on. She just ruins what otherwise could have been a solid show about young adults finding their way in life while normalizing real world people.

Hey, alright! A murder mystery with an all female cast. Cool! Except it was not cool. Not at all. The title should definitely be "7 women written by men based on stereotypes"

Each womon in this movie is an over exaggeration of a stereotype. Bitter housewife who married for money? Check. Crazy old nana? Check. Spinster aunt desperate for affection? Check. Amoral woman who sleeps around? Check. Every single character is completely one-sided and speaks as if the writers have only ever encountered women via films from the '20s.

Beyond that there was no real plot. Just a bunch of women bickering with one "feminist" line thrown in at the very end to try and appease everyone. As a woman who has been in a room with several other women on many many occasions I can promise not one of us has ever spoken in a manner even remotely reminiscent to this awful script.

I stuck through the entire movie trying to give it a real chance but the ONLY reason it gets any stars at all is for the set and costume designers. They did a lovely job and are the only redeeming factors.

Wow I think all the grumps reviewing this badly need to rewatch and actually catch the lesson. Everyone I know who hates it is exactly the kind of Chuy who never learned. The acting, though not what American audiences are used to, is great. The story is a classic redemption story that shows what Christmas is all about. And Diva Godmother is absolutely the most fun godmother I've ever seen. (Seriously, considering how I can recreate their tinsel outfit rn) This movie is absolutely being added to my yearly Christmas watch list. You all grinches can complain about the story or acting or costumes in a way that is clearly saying you don't like the non-American Christmas movie but I loved it, I see it, and I hear what it's saying.

I have never dissed on AHS. Even when others have hated a season or three I've still at least enjoyed them. I've also never written a review on IMDB before. Never felt the need. The sheer awfulness of this episode is what changed both for me. Death Valley just felt so disjointed throughout that I've spent the episodes feeling like each scene was written by a monkey banging away on a typewriter and not consulting the monkeys doing the other scenes. And then , apparently, this "season finale" happened. I don't know how they can even call it a finale, nothing was brought to a close in a way that said a story was finished, not to mention finished with a satisfying storyline conclusion. Unbelievable. Producers, can you please make sure the script monkeys work together next season? Please? I want my old AHS back.
