Saint Maud (2019)
I don't know what all the fuss is about...
It was a short, straightforward and predictable depiction of a nurse's religious beliefs causing the deterioration of her mental health. Would have been ok for a Netflix or TV movie but don't waste your time or money going to the cinema. It's annoyingly average.
Reign (2013)
An hour I will never get back
I don't have a clue how this was rated so highly on IMDb. I was looking for a good historical drama I could really sink my teeth into, something like The Tudors or The White Queen. Other than the time period, I got nothing of the sort.
The scripting was cheesy and unrealistic with obvious modern influences, and the costumes looked like they were designed for Disney princesses, not for the royal court. I can put up with slight historical inaccuracies for dramatic effect, but I don't think a group of giggling upper class women from the 16th century kicking off their shoes to dance like idiots in front of the whole court is even close to the time period.
It reminded me of the Vampire Diaries or something similar which is aimed predominantly at 12 year old girls. I'd even go as far as to say it's an insult to Queen Mary herself to be portrayed as such a promiscuous, impolite school girl.
I only watched the pilot, but that's one too many episodes. Don't bother with this rubbish.
