Movie Rating
I don’t really want to give too much away about Sundown, so I suppose for this review I’ll have to bring you my thoughts on the production etc rather than going in to deep with the story of the short film.

Running at almost 13 minutes, Sundown looks stunning, the colouring of the short film has been done wonderfully, with the colours of not only the landscape and sky of the beautifully shot scenes but also the skin tones of for Frazer and Caitlin.

This makes the film a joy to watch, but adding to the delight of looking good, Sundown also has a soundtrack that sounds lovely, the music throughout the film works so well, giving the film a feeling of love and devotion to the high standards of producing a soundtrack and to flow throughout the story.

TV Show Rating Watch
The actors are well suited for their characters. (1 more)
Show stayed true to film noir through all 8 episodes.
The first two episodes were shown in the preview. (1 more)
Season was so short there was very little character development.
Film Noir Style Humor
This genre is my favorite, and very few movies or shows are successful at the dry, dark humor without giving up the true macabre nature of the subject. The teens that played the main characters are excellent, as are the two women that play the main detective constables.

I do wish there had been more character development. We know quite a bit about the kids by the end of the 8 episodes (roughly 20-25 minutes per episode), but we are only given a wisp of information about the detective constables relationship. This was very similar to how I felt about the end of Stranger Things season 1.

Book Rating
I won an ARC of this book from Goodreads. It is the story of Sara a 30 something adoptee who is getting married. Right off the bat she wants to look for her birth parents before her wedding. She finds her mom & eventually her dad. That's about all I can way without giving away the story.
It is told in a series of sessions as Sara is speaking to her therapist about what is going on in her life. It was an interesting perspecitve on things, though you never really hear any advice or thoughts from the therapist.
The ending was the hest part....didn't see it coming at all. The beginning was rather ho-hum, but as the story progresses you become sucked into the drama.
It did make me want to read Stevens's debut novel though. I really enjoy her writing style & well developed characters.
