BIG LITTLE LIES - EPISODES 1 AND 2
Watchable. Mostly for parents of children of all ages. But, after the second episode, even I feel involved. It's set in an uphill neighbourhood so the interiors look nice and Madeleine (Reese Witherspoon) wears wonderfully matching floral clothes. It's structured a bit strangely: you know from the beginning that someone's been murdered and excerpts from witness interrogations render as ad hoc commentaries to the plot developments - clever but annoying. But most importantly: where are the "big little" lies?
WYKLETY
Recommended. I've finally understood why. It's a feature film made by a historian and in 90% based on facts (some scenes were inspired by lives of other cursed soldiers than the portrayed ones, some got simplified, some were made less brutal than the reality), shot on the locations of the original tortures and showing all sides to the multifaceted history. It moved me deeply towards the end. Good acting. Great cinematography, especially the panoramic take of a line of soldiers on a hill ridge.
MOLLY MONSTER
Watchable. Beautiful colours, a simple tale in which the worst things that happen are missing family members with whom everyone gets reunited. Perfect for nursery-age children. There are a few songs - something I didn't like in films as a child and still don't like.
