A sombre and beautifully written outlook on a South Korean massacre
Once again Han Kang has written a haunting piece of literature very different from her award-winning debut novel The Vegetarian.

The intricate meshing of narratives of several stories across generations explains the disturbing effects of the Gwangju uprising - South Korea's Tiananmen Square massacre. There are elements of spirits attempting to reach friends and family members after being killed by government forces. The language is melancholic and beautiful, and entire story is an absolute tragedy.

Mrs. Maisel lives up to her Marvelous-ness
Mrs. Maisel, with her foul mouth and vivid wardrobe, is the only reason you need for putting the kids to bed early. The show is comedic enough to lift your spirits, yet poignant when portraying the realities that women faced in her era. Definitely makes me appreciate how far we have come in reaching gender equality, and yet how far we still have to go. I can't wait for season 2!

Excellent story
Brilliant
Loved this so much, I was toe tapping and singing the whole way through. I don't think many people can say they aren't a fan on Queen, they appealed to the masses.

This film is progressive and done well despite being dramatised. It ended in a good place.

The character/people development was very good and it was nice to see an insight into the band behind the legend.

Would highly recommend, although a sad ending it lifted my spirits.

"A classic ghost story, from a novel by Dorothy Macardle, directed by Lewis Allen. Brother and sister Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey buy a cliff-top home in Cornwall that turns out to be haunted by at least two spirits and one still-living person . . . the waif Gail Russell, who is drawn to the room where her mother supposedly died. It’s one of those Hollywood films that was too sophisticated for the censors, with several transgressive elements (lesbianism, illegitimacy) couched tactfully and woven deeply into the mystery."
