"I think the Dardennes are what you might get if you took Bresson and replaced his Catholicism with socialism. Strict naturalism instead of strict negation, but just as aware of space, sound, and the power of automatic action. Ascetic but genuinely compassionate. La promesse feels like their most vital film, maybe because it was the first one done in their house style. With bad teeth, floppy hair, and soulful eyes, Jérémie Renier has crazy presence, and Olivier Gourmet plays one of the best sad-shit dads in film history."

Quite timely but notuch action

Contains spoilers, click to show

I feel that the book was written specifically to hit publisher targets as it feels quite short and light on the action of normal Ben Hope books along with all the twists. It seemed a very quick book to get to the ending where they discuss how a pandemic could happen today and not just in the past, it's quite timely having a book about a pandemic with what's going on but not a classic Ben Hope book for sure. Hopefully the next one will be better!

I'm not good with praise, because it all feels fake, but there's NO way I can NOT try to write a review! Too Late is certainly different by Colleen's standards, but I think it may be my favorite CoHo story yet. From the first page, I was hooked. The fact that I had to wait for chapters didn't stop me from becoming obsessed. I hate Asa, but as the Queen herself has said, I love to hate him. Sloan and Luke are just perfect together. Another masterpiece well done!

Brilliant performance by Redmayne who uncannily resembles a young Hawking.
The two leads shore up a movie that at times seem s a tad predictable which is amazing since Redmayne had never had a lead role prior to this.
The onscreen chemistry in this heartbreaking story is believable and tangible, however I think the film should have touched more on Hawkings love and passion for science, but feels more like a love story which isn't a bad thing.
An engaging story of love that is worth your time.

Overall not quite as funny as the first 2 series (0 more)

Back for a 3rd series after another cliffhanger ending to the second series. This 3rd outing feels a little different. It's not quite as funny overall as the other series, not quite as witty. Still with some funny scenes but not quite as dramatic as the first 2 series. The overall plot doesn't have the same feel either. However it's still an entertaining series with plenty to enjoy. Just not quite hitting the highs of the first 2 series.
