A Christmas Carol (2019)
Honesty is dark
The first time I watched this version, I was mesmerized and a little nauseous- Scrooge clearly had gone to a very very dark place compared to other versions. I mean, he's pretty despicable- even worse than the George C Scott version. The whole series is extremely dark and depressing and definitely not for children! But there's a glimmer of honesty in Scrooge and with that...... I dare not give spoilers but in my honest opinion, this series should be seen. It's way grittier than Dickens but I think he would have approved (after being depressed).
Guy Pierce gives a wonderful Scrooge performance as does everyone but I was most impressed by characters who had no lines. Even without words, they told a wonderful story in other ways.
Shrill (2019)
Loved It!
I love Shrill! I am a bit biased though as I had an opportunity to watch a couple of scenes being filmed (my husband and I own the pharmacy where there were a couple of small scenes filmed). That being said, I didn't know what to expect when I watched the final product but I was very impressed! Annie is a full figured gal like myself who feels like she has to apologize to everyone for everything but she finds her voice and it's great to watch her character unfold. I cringed at some of the characters and the way she was treated but she persevered. I don't want to give spoilers as I want everyone to enjoy it. Aidy, you are wonderful to watch and I love your clothes!
