Dziewczyna i kosmonauta (2023)
Good show!
It's a well thought out production, with good writing and execution. I enjoyed seeing what Central/Eastern Europe can do with science-fiction-ish storylines. I very much enjoyed hearing Polish spoken, with Russian as needed for the scenes which take place in Russia. Nice balance of humor and drama, with the two different time periods clearly delineated with different actors and actresses. That said, it was easy am d enjoyable to follow. It was not overpowering with intense action scenes; it has a nice balance between conversation and action. Sets and locations were all good. Nice work on the part of Polish Netflix! Looking forward to Season 2!
Sexify (2021)
Very well done!
Sexify is a well-written and executed romp through a younger Polish generation's thoughts on dating, relations, and sex. Given the historically conservative nature of Poland, it was quite a satisfying surprise to see all the pushback from a younger generation. Set initially on a college campus, it follows the lives of the three female protagonists who develop the Sexify app. I found the dialog quite enjoyable, particularly the interchanges between the girls and their occasional mates. I also much enjoyed hearing Polish spoken; I followed with English subtitles. The music fit the scenes. In all, a strong 8, at least! Kudos!
The Five-Year Engagement (2012)
Surprisingly good!
Having read earlier reviews, I was not expecting much and was very pleasantly surprised. Romcoms can go so many different ways. Well- and thoughtfully written; the actors are all present and execute their characters well. Very real life situations handled well. Great production values, cinematography, and soundtrack. Loved the Brahms, van Morrison, The Swell Season, and others. Jason Segel and Emily Blunt pair well together, as do Chris Pratt and Allison Brie (whose English accent tends to come and go). The Apatow Group did a nice job on this production. All in all, a movie well worth watching.
