Dean (6921 KP) rated Killing Eve - Season 4 in TV

Not at the same level as previous series (1 more)
Silly surreal episodes
Oh dear Eve
I didn't think there was going to be a 4th series after the ending of the 3rd. After watching this maybe they should have stuck at 3. It's not at the same level as the previous series, not as witty, funny and feeling a bit rushed towards the end.
The first few episodes are very odd and a bit surreal and don't fit in. After getting back on track of finding out more about the 12 it then all comes to a very quick conclusion in the last couple of episodes. Still has some funny scenes and a bit more back story to some characters. Overall though a 4th series we didn't need.

A pretty decent western with a quality cast. It is very much a tracking a man on the run film, a very dangerous man as it happens. It is wonderfully shot as the backdrop changes from the snowy mountains, forests, open plains and into the desert. It gets a little surreal in the final third but still an interesting film.

Surreal film
A very well made film with a good cast. An actor from a big TV show is now a struggling Theatre director who longs for his former glory days. It has some long unedited scenes which almost make it feel like watching a stage show. It uses some other clever camera tricks. The film is quite strange and might be a bit marmite because of it.

Jesus Christ this one was hard to sit through. Not released theatrically in the UK until January, I unfortunately managed to bag myself a press-only screening. Bizarrely adored by critics, this mish-mash of comedy and drama starring Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman of all people is just surreal. For me, that’s not in a good way.

Hmmm well it seems I'm in the minority but to call this a masterpiece is way off the mark for me. This was just a bit too surreal and odd. Based on a true crime in New Zealand in the 50's. It gets very strange later on as the relationship and madness intensifies! If you like wacky films or odd dramas you might love it, but it's not for me.
