The Shrink Next Door (2021)
Couldn't finish episode 2...
It seemed as if it might have potential but then got way worse. No chemistry between any of the actors, abysmal writing, dialog weak..I cannot imagine how someone thought this was ready to release.
Caché (2005)
The guy's a dick
This movie has potential but doesn't achieve it. Yes, I missed some of it because I'm an Ugly American. (Thanks so much to other reviewers for pointing out the subtleties I missed a bit of because I am unaware of various French history/events.) But besides that, this guy's just a dick. If you want to make someone realize a point, you need to make them empathize with a character before showing what a dick he is.
OK he must have *something* on the ball because he's got the world's almost-tastiest wife. But come on...shock us with a suicide, then we watch this guy just stand there. Run, scream, call someone (like maybe an ambulance...) Anyway, my feeling is that if you want people to feel something, they have to identify more with the character first.
