"I love European cinema. I made a proviso that you have to watch it with the Swedish subtitles on, not dubbed in American. It’s terrible when it’s dubbed in American. It’s really a drama. It’s the story of a young boy who meets a young girl who just happens to be a vampire. But the editing, the way they show the bleakness of the world, the way that they show a period in time which is nondescript — they say it’s the modern world, but it feels like the modern world that has gone by somehow. Very beautiful part of the world, it’s sterile and full of snow. I watched that one night; a friend recommended it to me. I was in my house on my own, at night, was very scared of it, and fell in love with it. I’m not a huge fan of horror movies, to be fair. There’s no reason for me to bring that into my life, that horror element. But with Let the Right One In, it was worth it because the performances and the story were both so brilliant."

good premise and acting (0 more)
it was a little predictable (0 more)
squid game has many legs to it inthat it could have gone in any direction
personally i didnt see what all the hype was all about , having said that it was an addictive show just to see what happens next ,the acting was good (we watched in dubbed english but the original korean apparently is better with englisg subtitles) it was a little violent for younger viewers but other than that it was a good couple of hrs viewing on a cold autumn night

A little bit formulaic and unoriginal
As much as this has been dubbed the next Girl on a Train, that was part of the problem - it was too much the same. A slightly neurotic protagonist, and a typical tyrannical male character with a dash of Christian Grey involved.

The structure was well done, going back and forth the different narratives, so it was totally reminiscent of the different stories in Girl on a Train. Because of the formulaic story, the whodunnit ends up becoming predictable. You just need to choose which tyrannical male character it could be. Slightly disappointed but still readable.
