Paula (2017)
Great cast, good plot
The show's pacing is excellent, with each episode slowly building the tension. The acting is also superb, with Denise Gough delivering a powerful performance as Paula, and Tom Hughes did a fantastic job as usual, bringing a creepy and unpredictable energy to his role.
What sets "Paula" apart from other similar stories is its exploration of power dynamics, manipulation, and psychological abuse.
The cinematography and direction also deserve praise, with each shot carefully crafted to enhance the mood and atmosphere of the show. The use of lighting and shadow, in particular, is effective in creating a sense of foreboding and unease.
Overall, "Paula" is a thought-provoking and harrowing exploration of the darker aspects of human relationships, and is definitely worth a watch for those who enjoy psychological thrillers, although personally i didnt like the end and i felt more sad about James than Paula.
The Laureate (2021)
Good biographical drama
The Laureate is a biographical drama film that tells the story of Robert Graves, a World War I poet who struggles with love, ambition, and personal demons. The film is well-made, with excellent performances from the cast, including Tom Hughes as Graves and Laura Haddock as his wife, Nancy Nicholson. The cinematography and period details also stand out, transporting the audience to the early 20th century.
The pacing of the film is slow, while the story is interesting and the characters are well-developed, the plot doesn't always feel like it's moving forward. I believe that this should have been a mini series and had a continuetion of Graves life.
Overall, The Laureate is a solid biographical drama that will appeal to fans of period pieces and literary history. It's well-acted and beautifully shot, making it a worthwhile watch for those interested in the subject matter.
The Twin (2022)
Nice horror/mystery film
I personally enjoyed watching this, Teresa Palmers performance was great, good act and convincing, The film's eerie atmosphere is well-crafted, with dark and foreboding cinematography that creates a palpable sense of tension. The plot was also good, pretty much nothing that you havent seen before but still keeps you interested. I definetelly recomend to give this film a chance. I would like to see more of some Finnish character or something more distinguish that this is happeneing in Finland, than just speaking the language, but still it kept me interested until the end.
I would have watched it again!
