Official Secrets (2019)
Excellent and intelligent film
This is a subtle, pared back and intelligent film that is worthy of a high star rating.
The casting was excellent, and Keira Knightly, who I normally cannot stand watching, was superb and was for once (IMO) very authentic.
Surviving Death (2021)
Ignore episodes 2 and 3
Other people said it better than me re the mediums episodes. Embarrassing to watch and very sad to see people potenially exploited so horribly. Also the NDE woman in episode 1 did not feel authentic. Someone who has had that experience I am sure would have rather more humility. It is ok to have enough respect for the consultant to called her by her name but the woman who cares for her child is only referred to as 'the nanny'.
But episode four Signs was truly hearbreaking. I felt so much for the parents of all the children, especially Elijah's mother and I kept waking up the night after watching it hoping she would have some comfort. I felt she in some way blamed herself (I really do not know why I felt that) but I found myself sending prayers that she is able to let this feeling go so that she can receive the signs she is seeking.
The ghost episode was fun and the reincarnation one was interesting. But do ignore episodes 2 and 3!
