"Saint Frances" Review

“Saint Frances” 是一套電影，講述Bridget (Kelly O'Sullivan) 擔任保母工作，照顧小女孩Frances (Ramona Edith Williams) 時幾經波折同時亦要面對墮胎後的種種問題。電影用一個輕鬆而感性的手法探討母性、墮胎、不願說出心底話等等話題。每一位演員都表現出色，尤其是Kelly O'Sullivan和Ramona Edith Williams。兩人所飾演的角色之間的互動是電影的核心和焦點，同時亦令觀眾可以更加了解Bridget的內心世界，所以即使這個角色有明顯的缺點，觀眾仍然可以接受她，想她有一個好結局。這套電影既充滿溫情又非常好笑，從頭到尾都令我很投入。我十分推薦 “Saint Frances”！
千萬不要錯過！

"Saint Frances" is a drama film directed by Alex Thompson, and written by and starring Kelly O'Sullivan. It follows Bridget (O'Sullivan) as she navigates the complications that arise from her job as a babysitter for six-year-old Frances (Ramona Edith Williams) as well as from an unwanted pregnancy and subsequent abortion. The film explores issues such as motherhood, abortion, and the reluctance to open up about emotions with a great amount of grace, humor and heart. Every performance was pitch-perfect, especially O'Sullivan and Williams. The central dynamic between Bridget and Frances is the standout as it grounds Bridget and gives her a gradual outlet for affection. It is also a handy way for the audience to root for Bridget to overcome her struggles in the face of her personality flaws. The film is heartfelt and funny, and I was thoroughly engrossed all the way to its bittersweet conclusion. I highly recommend "Saint Frances"! Please do not miss out on this brilliant gem of a movie!

"In the Summers" Review

"In The Summers" is a drama film starring Rene Perez, Sasha Calle, and Lio Mehiel, as a man named Vicente and his two daughters Eva and Violeta. The film is slow-paced, surely, but it is never boring. Instead, it paints a very realistic portrait of a dysfunctional relationship between a father and his daughters through a series of vignettes, chronicling their time together during presumably the summer holidays of the daughters. While there is a progression of story here, the plot itself takes a backseat to the characters, exploring the changing family dynamic through the years. There are scenes where not much is said, but through the placement of the characters and objects on screen, we are able to get a sense of the gradually widening gulf between Vicente and his daughters. There's a lot to say about this movie, as it's such a mood-focused piece that I think it's best experienced directly. All I'll say is that I highly recommend this film if you're lookin...

Reviewing "Hereditary": An excellent "slow-burn" horror film focused on grief and family

Hereditary  is a horror film directed by Ari Aster, starring Toni Collette as Annie Graham, Gabriel Byrne as her husband Steve Graham, Alex Wolff as son Peter, and Milly Shapiro as daughter Charlie. It centers on a family that suffers from a horrible tragedy and begins to fall apart, all the while sinister secrets are dug up. Much like The Witch , the film is more of a slow-burn horror in terms of pacing. Unlike The Witch , the film is set in the modern day. Firstly, the acting. Toni Collette's acting as Annie, mother of two and whose own mother had recently died, is beyond excellent, with certain scenes in particular allowing her to show a wide range of emotions and deliver a genuine performance, at times unsettling, at times heart-wrenching, but 100% real and believable. Gabriel Byrne, as well-meaning father Steve, serves as the most grounded center for the film, the middleman in the familial conflict between Annie and Peter. Alex Wolff's Peter is a 16-year-old with a lot of ...

"Baby Reindeer" review

"Baby Reindeer" 是Richard Gadd創作的一套黑色喜劇驚悚迷你劇，每集都由Gadd自己編劇。這部劇集根據Gadd 被人跟蹤的真實經歷改編，Gadd飾演Donny Dunn，Donny是根據Gadd本人改編的人物。這劇集充滿著黑色幽默，就像Donny試圖成為喜劇演員卻遭到觀眾的嘲笑一樣，有種幸災樂禍的感覺。 雖然Donny被跟蹤的一些情況也顯現得有趣，但這些情況的本質卻被明確地表現得是令Donny恐懼和不安的。 演員的演出都是一流的，Gadd代入在自己的虛構版本中，透過Donny展示了自己當年被人跟蹤的恐懼和脆弱，Jessica Gunning飾演跟踪唐尼的迷戀者Martha，而Nava Mau飾演Donny的變性人女友Teri，漸漸地被Martha跟蹤Donny的事件而影響自己和Donny的關係。這劇集探討了被跟蹤會造成的創傷，Donny（以及Richard Gadd 本人）身上發生的事情明確地提醒我們，男性也可能受到性侵犯和侮辱，應該更廣泛地看重這一類帶來創傷的事件。總括而言，"Baby Reindeer" 是一部黑色幽默的迷你劇，有精湛的演出、出色的劇情，以及對性侵犯和跟踪造成的心理創傷有深入的探索，是一套我非常推薦的劇集。 Baby Reindeer is a black comedy thriller drama miniseries created by Richard Gadd, with each episode written by Gadd. Gadd stars as Donny Dunn, a fictionalised version of himself, in a series based on Gadd's troubled real-life experience of being stalked. The series is darkly hilarious, like Donny's attempts to be a comedian being met with derision from his audience, which makes it all the more funny for us viewers. While some of the ...
