Far from well-written, guilty of instalove, yet strangely entertaining. I probably like the 90s comedy aesthetics (and Brendan Fraser) a little too much.
This felt like a low-grade version of Little Women. Every single thing about the movie – script, acting, production, etc – felt like it was off. It also marks the first time that I don’t like Bill Nighy in a movie.

Starts out as a high quality romantic adventure show, slowly degenerates into soft core porn, then into torture porn, then gay torture porn, and that's when I stopped watching
we need a good Persuasion adaptation, please! Also all those "artistic" and shaky camera shots were annoying, not quirky. sorry.
i can't believe this movie only has a 68% rating it's literally the best movie of all time
So hard to watch. Raw, painful. Seeing such a star having those moments with a disease without so little to do is truly heartbreaking. Celine will always be a star. I hope she get better soon! A much watch for everyone.
Clooney's film is nostalgic for the past but did it have to be so dull? Disappointing.
XVI century Portuguese people speak English, for some reason, but Japanese people speak Japanese.
I can appreciate the stunning visuals and the dark comedy that this film offers but the appreciation for this film completely escapes me. It's a long, long, long way to go to see the fairly uninteresting story play out. I won't get that three hours of my life back.

i had to watch this movie every fucking day when i was dropped off for grade school. this movie will never leave me. if i die and come back as a ghost, ill just float around whispering quotes from this childhood nightmare im stuck in for the rest of my life.
Had to struggle to watch the whole 5th season.
It seems that the Show is loseing it !
Too slow paced and too boring.
I hope they completely change pace in the next season, or I will definitely leave it.
It would've been a fun series if not for one glaring fault of its conception. The whole series' underlying theme is "proving the Duke wrong", so the character gets a lot of screentime, but boy is he a seriously annoying guy. No doubt, he is supposed to be annoying and self-righteous, but his character doesn't actually payoff in a significant change of attitude so every minute of him being on screen instead of other characters feels like a waste of ours and the lead female character's time.
It should have ended in season 3, now it is just a waste of time.
This film should have stayed in the shadows. It's a boring tale that strains for significance, but in my opinion, falls a long way short.
I'm a sucker for a good Western but mannnn who knew Tim McGraw could act
Really excellent series. Being American I had no familiarity with this part of history. This is based on real women and their experiences during WWI. If you enjoy shows like Call the Midwife you will love this. Don't want to give anything away so I won't say any more. Watch it, television of this quality only comes around once in a while.
This show is absolutely Charming! I am smitten. Keeley Hawes is a TREASURE!
In an era when original films are few and far in-between I thought The Invention of Lying was actually a pretty decently good film. Sure as a comedy it wasn't really hilarious but it had a good plot that was interesting and heartwarming and an excellent cast as well.
It was a pretty good idea, execution was okay, gave me a decent laughter. Would recommend, but don't expect an amazing movie.
A snooze.
It’s not like the book said anything new or amazing but it did at least try. Unfortunately, the show took out everything even remotely interesting, flattened the characters into cliches and slapped on a hazy filter as if that sells the 70s thing. (Spoiler: it doesn’t). Things are too clean cut, dull and predictable. Not a hint of grit or tension. Also the songs? LMAOOOOO. Fleetwood Mac if they sucked. Or made lullabies for colicky children. Giving Disney Originals and I’m dead serious. They’ve essentially produced an Amazon sponsored Lifetime Original. Just extremely mediocre and underwhelming.
Cute outfits though!
5/10
Started off amazing
Then after episode 5 it all turns to shit.
Hated Rose and all her
BS drama, and making her the centre was a mistake.
Between unlikeable characters and a boring story and Dream popping in for a cameo, giving bloody Rose more screen time the second half of this show was a complete mess and ultimately felt like a massive waste of my time. How can a show Be so Awesome at the beginning then be utter bull-crap at the end especially when they had the winning formula right their.
That was a lot of heavy lifting to establish a big production to a season one of the next Big thing on streaming to just blow it in epic fashion like that.
Because in all honesty that second half Sucked
and sucked bad.
And I think I've had all I can take of that.
Thank-You
Gentlemen
And Goodnight.
Amazing show, phenomenal actors, great for any historical drama/romance lovers. Hoping for season 2 :star_struck:
There's a lot of awkward dead air in this movie. Finishing it felt like a chore. Persuasion is not that compelling of a story to begin with and this adaptation definitely didn't help. And I'm REALLY sorry, but they couldn't have chosen a worse actor to play Captain Wentworth. I almost hoped they'd do a twist and have her end up with Mr. Elliot instead. (also Henry Golding IS a 10.) The only positive thing I can think of is Dakota's english accent not being distracting.
My favourite movie. I have watched it countless times.
