Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
mehdi_esh Khanomi: Big little lies (TV mini series) , is about the lies we tell to ourselves and others in every day of life. In our mind, we are the one who has hardness and problems as we are not able to see other's difficulties and problems in their privacy.The story approaches to its characters as "human being" with all their faults, fears & goodness.
devoncall-73586 I love Liane Moriarty's books and was really looking forward to this adaption however this show left me extremely disappointed. I can accept that certain details may be different from the book but way too many things were changed/added for this show. All of Liane Moriarty's books are set in Australia however this show is set in California? All though this doesn't have a major effect on the storyline it also does in many ways and it felt like a major sell out on the authors part. They completely deleted Madeline's son Fred and in the book she never had an affair. Madeline having an affair in the show completely changed her entire perception to the audience, whereas she was a much more likeable character in the book. Many other things were changed for this rubbish adaption but all in all the entire feel of the show was wrong. The opening credits to the show were ridiculous and cringe worthy. The show was bombarded with dramatic montages in every episode that aren't even relevant to the story. Saxons abuse of Celeste is much more accentuated which turned this show into a modern day social issue. The list goes on... If you've read the book I wouldn't waste your time on this show. And to think that Liane Moriarty will be writing a follow up book so the show can continue? The great thing about her books is each book is a different story. Pretty disappointed.. feels like she's completely sold herself out.
Aaron Redis And the Emmy for The Best Limited Series goes to . . . Big Little Lies!I am so amazed with this show. It really is one of the best limited series out there. Absolutely amazing soundtrack, cast, storyline, and acting. This is exactly the show I didn't realize I needed. I can't thank HBO enough for the excellent storytelling here.I am so happy that there is finally a series that can showcase Reese Witherspoon's talent, as well as everybody else's. I was definitely surprised with Adam Scott's role. I didn't expect to enjoy it, but he did great.Nicole Kidman is just absolutely fantastic! She is by far my favorite character. I am so attached. She is so strong and powerful and I am so glad that they get to represent her story and bring to light what happens behind closed doors. It's a story that everyone needs to see.Alexander Skarsgård does great in his role as Perry Wright. Why? Because I absolutely hate his character. That's how you know you're watching something powerful. The story with Perry and Celeste is so very important, I just can't say that enough. I found myself crying my way through their scenes. In that regard, this show held NO punches.I recommend this show to everybody aching for some great drama and storytelling! I don't think you'll regret it. Not to mention that this show will give you some killer songs to add to your playlists!I dare you to watch and not fall in love. There is so much to enjoy and so much to be said for a show like this. It deserves all the praise it gets.I give "Big Little Lies" an 8.9/10.
adamantema Very boring, themes and situations seen a THOUSAND times in movies and series. I really don't understand the hype. Way overdramatic. And yes, it IS a chicklit (series, but still based on a book).
