Just watched "Us" on TV, which got good previews, and in particular because Tom Hollander is in it. I think he's a great actor, ever since "Rev" through "The Night Manager" to the present. Take the scene this evening, when having been told by his wife that the marriage is over, he goes to take stuff to the dump, cries in his car and kicks a cardboard box to death. Though I'm not sure about the whole premise that a couple would go on holiday with their son in these circumstances, I was glued... Great stuff.
We all moan about what's on the telly, but in fact there is indeed great stuff out there. And even the perhaps not-so-good is good for relaxing with having my supper after an evening Mass or whatever. And hqving spent time in Spain, Italy and Canada/USA, we could do a lot worse!
Here are the stars of "Us" visiting the Louvre...
We completed watching the BBC mini-series “Us” (dreadful title) yesterday. Unlike a couple of critical reviews, I thought it was good ...... yes it was a bit slow especially to begin with but it was also funny, poignant, beautiful filmed and mostly well acted (it is a requirement to rate Tom Hollander).
ReplyDeleteI personally, would find it hard for “us longer term married couples” not to emphasise with some of the honesty expressed emotional experiences conveyed here.
