Estonia (2023)
Understated yet effective
It's not easy to make a tv-series about a catastrophy with good taste today. The audience has short attention span and is used to overstimulation. Anything not predigested and sensationalized is quickly labelled boring. It's a series with eight episodes yet people complain when everything isn't clear and explained within the first 15 minutes. If you stop scrolling as you watch and concentrate a little bit the show offers a chilling and gripping account of the events. The scenes are atmospheric, understated yet effective. The characters and their reactions are believable and at times very touching. The series does a great job showing the disaster and it's aftermath from different perspectives. But if you are looking for quick answers and straightforward action scenes Estonia is definitely not for you.
UFO Sweden (2022)
The main character was horrible
The movie was entertaining but mediocre. I would have given it more stars though if the main character Denise hadn't been so extremely unlikable. She was selfish and mean. She caused a car accident and just left a woman there to die among other things. Yet everyone forgave her all the time. Is it really impossible to create a strong young female character without making her a sociopath? After the first 30 minutes me and my friends were team Gunnar and just wished Denise would fail or at least have some consequenses to her actions. It was obvious though that the movie was on her side and it was frustrating.
