Wanderlust (2018)

Great drama about real life

[9/10 · 11 October 2018]

I am not normally moved to review on IMDB but this drama is really good. Unfortunately this was hyped by the programme makers and the media to be about sex and open marriages; however that is not the core of the story at all. It is about relationships at all different levels and across generations. It explores what works and what doesn't, how relationships can improve and fall apart, how first impressions definitely don't always count.

I think the script writing was very well crafted; each episode actually had a different pace to it that kept it interesting and watchable. It showed the difference between a proper serialised drama - where each episode can stand alone - and a drawn out epic where a story is told over 10 hours that could really be a 2 hour film.

Yes - as the poor reviews say the sex scenes are uncomfortable; but that is real life!! Lots of sexual relationships are entirely uncomfortable and not as typically portrayed in Hollywood. It makes this programme come across all the more convincing.

As for the comments on episode 5 - just watch it and make your own minds up. For me I felt it was very engaging and convincing and like a good book it gave the reader space to interpret things with their own mind rather than being spoon fed every emotion and thought.

Arrival (II) (2016)

Enjoyable

Slow paced and low on action, this film is a pleasant way to spend 90 minites. The plot lines are a little confused and it does jump ahead. But generally flows well.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)

Fun fun fun - and a bit sad!

[8/10 · 29 July 2018]

Just great - if you loved the first one you will love this. Touches of emotion at every turn - and great songs.

Man Up (I) (2015)

Well done

[7/10 · 28 July 2018]

At times very uncomfortable and awkward,but well paced and with balanced emotional scenes
