Smile (2022)
Prepare your nerves to be jangled in a new way
I was on edge about 5 minutes in and stayed on edge the rest of the way. Well plotted, sympathetic characters. Constant tension. Sosie Bacon is entirely believable as someone who is going through what the movie does to her character. I can't say I enjoyed it but I was definitely riveted to my seat.
Her therapist, sister, mom are also very good both as themselves and when they are "inhabited". Seeing Kal Penn in a non-comic role was odd but he did a very good job playing her concerned boss.
Would avoid showing this to anyone under fifteen or with any sort of anxiety issues.
Enjoyed is not the right word but definitely riveting.
3022 (2019)
Smoking in space?
I gave this a 2 specifically because of the asinine use of cigarettes on a space station in the year 3022, by a medical doctor no less. Every writer who thinks that cigarette use makes characters more interesting or cooler should be fired. If that's the best they can do they are not creative enough to do their jobs.
Dark (2017)
What is happening?
I love this show but must admit I have no idea what is actually happening or when it is happening about 90% of the time. It speaks to the quality of the acting that I am still fascinated.
