Blank (2022)
Interesting Plot, bit Dragging
This is Black Mirror meets Misery
The Writer got writer's block and decided to book herself into an AI retreat which promised to deliver her next book. But it all went A-wire when there seem to be a system breech - a scary and stressful scenario.
The plot is interesting and the actresses were great. Good thriller and you can really feel the stress of the main character, Clare. And the dummy Rita is really funny. The mother is ugly and really scary.
The beginning is great and you get invested really quickly but then the dream and writing sequences became really dragging and boring. If the movie is edited to be 30% shorter, it wouldn't have been so dragging.
I didn't understand if Clare completely stole her mother's work or not? Is this why she is having a mental blank? Maybe because she was never the writer?
The Cleaning Lady (2022)
Unlikeable Character
I watched til the end because I'm interested with the show with Filipino characters. I'm surprised how annoyed I am with Elodie when she was the main reason I found this series. I liked her in previous movies. As it turns out, she is not a very good drama actress; her acting makes me dislike the main character. I find it hard to root for her. Not like how easy to root for Walter White. In fact, she reminds me of my dislike of Skyler White. Maybe it's the writing. Maybe it's the acting. I'm not dying to see season 2.
I like Eva De Dominici's tough woman act. I hate how Thony tries to be tough but always needing men to bail her out. What a waste of a good character! But happy for everyone that they get season 2.
