S01.E05: At the Hospital, an Interlude of Clarity
memememe76 replied to OtterMommy's topic in Modern Love
I just watched the first season after getting Prime and this is the one I rewatch most often. Interestingly, it’s the one featuring actors I knew least about. The anthology is one of those examples of the sum being greater than its parts. -
It is based on a novel (and a movie starring Anne Hathaway). Whether one likes the ending or not, the series ended the way the book essentially did.

The Before Sunset vibes. Set in Paris. Two characters reuniting. Walking and talking. Man with marital issues. Girl with a boyfriend. A cafe scene. A garret scene. Discussing a previous sexual encounter. Just needed Emma singing to Nina Simone. Loved it all.

I loved this series so much! The first production of this decade I can truly proclaim as loving even if it’s not deemed “prestige”. Mod and Woodall are sensational, I really hope this elevates them both for more work. In terms of production, this maybe the best 90s nostalgia hit I have ever seen. It does not go over the top with it, and those years have a lived in quality. Also, the handling of alcohol and drug is really well done, how it ebbs and flows. Do you think Dexter recovers? I want him to be clean by the end. I ended up liking everybody. I was even sad that the ex-wife is divorced too. I wish her the best.

I say this as a huge fan but I don’t classify it as a comedy either. And they are so strict when it comes to movies like A Star is Born and Elvis that weren’t classified as musicals.
-
Why else would they agree to another movie being made? For the money.

Joe is supposed to be kinda invisible virtually throughout the movie until the end, probably at the roof scene. That is how it with abuse kids—they’re the forgotten ones.

The Influencer shows growth throughout but she also displays her contributions to the group, both emotionally and practically. and the social media aspect allows the characters to reveal themselves in an economical but storywise consistent manner. I had my own misgivings with the Asian couple with the heavy accents but they are given their humanity and humour. It all works in the end, in my opinion. I too loved Bitmore Christmas, even though I am not one for time travel. Lenz is my favourite actor of this genre. Hallmark is kinda killing?
-
I very much agree. The ensemble nature of the movie gave it a great balance of humour and sentiment. I was engaged by every storyline. This will be my favourite of the year, doubt I will find a better one. They could probably do a Holiday Road sequel with a new cast where the road trip is different. Heck, use the same cast playing different characters.

Christmas Island was not groundbreaking but it was well made and acted. It helps that I like both lead actors but the entire cast worked. The wealthy family was believable. In a typical movie, the teenaged girl would have been redeemed by forming a relationship with the mayor’s son, but her closest friendship is the elderly man. The main couple kiss 2/3 way through the movie. That’s different too.
