Once upon a time in Hollywood taught me all I needed to know

Terrible movie that!

Just finished watching Adolescence.

Incredibly well acted, but very dark and sad.

Also each episode filmed in one shot. The acting is remarkable especially from the young boy. First time acting!

Yep.

Yep, and he's only 14 too.

Adolescence

Phenomenal. Utterly compelling.

Just watch it.

Adolescence

Spoiler

Ep 3 when the psychologist talks to Jaymie and he's recounting when him and the girl went to the fair, and then how he was with her but denies he didn't use the knife. Was quite shocking how that unfolded because it's the big reveal that he did it but has mental issues. I mean we probably all knew he did it but the way it was confirmed. Then ep 4 where we learn where he inherited those from.

And Stephen Graham was amazing but he is always good.

They usually don't film this sort of thing in one shot (eg Birdman and 1917) so I was looking for how they might have stitched it together. I didn't see any of the usual tricks so maybe it was the real thing. Either way I was blown away by what they achieved technically. You have to get everything right - camera angles, focus, sound, lighting, movements of dozens of extras.

That's before you get to the actors getting it spot on. We have come to expect this level of excellence from Stephen Graham but everyone else stepped up. The scene between the boy and the psychologist was tense!

Just for context with Adolescence. They depicted a white boy from a good family being brainwashed by Andrew Tate, when the story was based on a nutcase from Uganda who was neglected by his parents.

I find Stephen Graham’s style is comparable to Martin Freeman’s. They are both so understated and natural.

Can't have the 'bad guy' not being a white male these days.

 

[Beerfish]

3 episodes into Adolescence. We watched 1 and 2 the first night then 3 last night so the time jump was extra jarring. Couldn't watch anymore than that 3rd episode last night. Just way too heavy.

I decided not to watch it for that reason, I don't need the heartache.

Watch it just to enjoy the fact you don't have to bring kids up in this world.

The next big bad guy of the marvel films, great GIF choice!

Do you mean in film, or in real life?

I am totally unsurprised by the revelations so far (just watched ep 3). Social media is a scourge.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Watched the first episode of Adolescence last night, and wow, that's some of the best drama I've seen in a while. The way they filmed it made you feel like you were there. Looking forward to seeing how it all pans out, but what a start.

Binged Adolescence in one hit

Extraordinary film making and acting

Should win the Emmys in every category

Finished Paradise. Another unexpected gem.

It has the dude from Middle Aged Dad Band too (who I love), and the supports are good.

Some of the "funny" lines I haven't laughed at, but others are also clever.
