A Quiet Place Part II (2020)
What an accomplishment with these two films
I just want to leave a compliment here to John Krasinski. Really really well done both film. Everyone knows how hard it is to deliver a second time and you just did well. It is so good, that I wish it to be series. But don't do it. Keep making these films as long as you feel you have something more to add. I waited sooooo long for the second film, that I was afraid then to watch it. But I was very happy about the result. Suspense and screenwriting skills at the top of the game. It is really simple things like that diving sign the Murphy character learns in the beginning that I knew was gonna come up again. It is small things that show what makes a good writer. Compliment. These are now already two of my all time favorites. <3.
River (2021)
Huge letdown
Some may think 1 out of 10 is a bit hard, but think about all the films in the world. I don't even know if there is any film I'd give 10. I'd give Alien a strong 9 and this is a real masterpiece. I'd give 9 for apocalypse now and 8 for shining. 1 for this is even too much. There is almost no story arch at all. It repeats itself all the time, the characters are flat and the writing is... I don't even know... just not good. No suspense.. no conclusion or anything in the end. As if she took the short and just threw a few characters in. You could cut out that bearded guy entirely and it wouldn't change a damn thing. I suggest to read a few books.
