Liliannar (58 KP) rated Rose Madder in Books
May 25, 2018
Utterly amazing character development
From page one you can't help but feel badly for Rose. You meet a woman in an abusive marriage who is being treated like garbage and throughout the story she becomes an incredibly strong woman. This story has a significant amount of "King" flair that unfortunately detracts from the story. The growth of the main character is the highlight of the book.

The film is based around a couple who have to attend a marriage course with their local vicar before he allows them to get married. It is quite funny in places and quite outrageous in others, but if you have been on one of these courses it will bring back a few memories, and yes I had to go on one and still married twenty on years later.

A marriage proposal to a grown Susan is really just a plot to take over Narnia, and the only people who can stop it are a run away slave and a talking horse. A fun adventure that has grown on me the more times I've read it.

Purrsistently (46 KP) rated Breakfast at Tiffany's in Books
Jun 21, 2018
Honestlys not sure how I feel about this one. There were glaring elements I hated (the narrating attitude about women and race especially), but things that I think are worth looking at like child “marriage” in the US and calling a girl who’d been raped repeatedly as a pre teen a “whore.” It’s a solid and deserved slap in the face for anyone inclined to idealize the period.
AT (1676 KP) rated Marriage Story (2019) in Movies

I enjoyed Marriage Story, for as much as one can enjoy that type of situation. It was frustrating and heartbreaking, and had some funny spots thrown in. It was a raw story of a family going through a divorce. (Granted, it was a family that had access to money for bulldog legal teams, so it was both, "easy," and ugly.) Adam Driver was great in his role as Charlie.
