Only (2019)
Seems wholly misunderstood
I have to admit, like many other reviewers who gave lower scores, I started the movie wondering why she didn't cut her hair, why she didn't try to hide her femininity more. But I think that focus loses the point of the movie. She was in quarantine. It wasn't like covid quarantine where we still get to go places if we feel so inclined, she literally didn't leave her apartment for 400 days. She had no reason to hide her hair or face while she was in quarantine. And eventually, seeing no way out and no end to that life after losing her online friends and mother one by one, she decided to go out her own way. It wasn't a childlike mistake. It was an end to her mental suffering. At that point she had four days left to live, and they had to leave quick because they'd already had a visit from the military while she hid. In their rush to leave, why would they stop and take precious minutes to "man her up"?
After 400 days of barely living, she just wanted a few days of freedom instead of a lifetime of quarantine and hiding. I think any human could understand that in the right circumstances.
Manifest (2018)
Great show, hope it gets an ending
Just like my title says, I think it's a great show. I almost rated it a 9 but I honestly don't really find anything to fault the show so I changed it to a 10. The characters are relatable, the story moves at a decent pace and it's a really intriguing story. I know some of the other reviews mention they are frustrated there was still no answer at the end of season 3 but I think that's because the producer really intended six seasons. There have been answers, plenty of them. But the whole point of the show is following the passengers' journey, and it's fascinating. I really hope Jeff Rake is able to find someone to either pick up the remaining seasons or make the movie. It deserves an ending.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Service (2018)
Very sweet ending
I've seen this episode before and it hits me in the feels every time. I would give it ten stars but I miss Barba (freaking love Barba) and I think the Rollins storyline is pushed a little far. I don't want to give spoilers so I will just say the ending is very touching and the episode is worth a watch.
