Ingmar Bergman’s masterpiece is also the greateat film ever made. Containing elements of Dickens, Dostoevsky and magical realism this epic of childhood combines every era of Bergman’s amazing career and surpasses them all on the way.

Brutal
A powerful, quirky revenge film. Low budget, plain simple plot but the realism due to the low budget makes it more hard hitting. Great performances and dialogue, this is a film you will not forget!

"Klimov’s film is an unflinching examination of evil and embraces the surreal in places, while serving up dirty doses of realism in others. The barn burning sequence is the most haunting scene I’ve seen on film."

Niffenegger’s second novel is a semi-ghost story, which confirms her ability to make magical realism feel practically natural and believable. You can read my revised review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/04/23/twins-and-ghosts/

Great movie
This movie was so much better then I thought it would be! It had me emotional involved and will appeal to those who enjoy their romances delivered with a touch of history, and a little magical realism.

Realism in the game. Massive world overall with great elements and formatting (0 more)
Terribly slow paced. I love open worlds but it drags story wise and pacing throughout. That mixed with shoddy and slow controls take away (0 more)
Slow but fun

"Director: Malgorzata Szumowska. This one just took me by surprise. I was enveloped by the atmosphere and the setting. I was thrown into a whole fresh set of ideas to contemplate. I like comedy in the midst of social realism."

Character portrayal and development (2 more)
Griitty realism
Great plot developments
Probably the best TV show to ever exist (and that's not an overstatement)
The Wire is the one TV show I will recommend to anyone who will give me five minutes to talk about TV shows. The show's take on the issues affecting the slums of Baltimore is outstanding and cleverly developed into a complex but always engaging narrative. David Simon's real-life experience with the issue he portrays shows through and the use of actors - sometimes non-actors picked off the street - really heightens the realism. Absolutely mesmerising.
