Nature: Meet the Raptors | Raptors: A Fistful of Daggers (2024)
Dumbed Down
Wonderful photography but the dumbed down narration lost it a star. Presumably for the American audience although shouldn't these documentaries inspire thought and education, not pander to a terrible education system and short attention spans. Documentaries should lift up and inform, not underscore the deficits in people's knowledge. Sir David Attenborough doesn't do that, he soars and takes wing along with the subjects inspiring awe and a humility for the world that we are losing due to human activity impacting their habitats and environments. Come on America, you can do better.
In all things everywhere, every time.
The Stranger (2022)
Sean Harris is utterly superb
Once again Sean Harris does an unbelievable job getting into his character and inhabiting it so vividly and yet with believable quietitude. One of the leading actors of his generation, he has consistently brought scary intensity to his roles. Saying that Joel Edgerton also does a great job and is definitely not overshadowed. A strange and edgy movie, often claustrophobic and dark, but the dialogue sometimes disappeared into the dark corners too.
I'm thinking the Oscars would have been enhanced by this as at least a nomination, maybe screenplay and definitely Sean Harris, but not for sound. Nicely done.
