"Why not see this movie twice? Even if you don’t like it, it’s worth revisiting. Films like this don’t come along that often, or perhaps ever. Granted, I suspect that it’s far more exciting for filmmakers than for general audiences, just because Cuaron did with this movie what we all wish we could do: he took his time. It’s easy to make comparisons to Proust, except that the film isn’t really Proustian; it isn’t fluid enough, it doesn’t resemble the memories it’s based on but the real events that begat them. It’s closer to Knausgard in that regard, but let me dispense with literary comparisons because this is a movie with a capital M: it’s been declaring itself so very loudly all fall, and I’m happy to join the chorus."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Finale (Hush, Hush, #4) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

I didn't enjoy this as much as the other three. Nora's whiney-ness just got to me in this and her being in charge of a Nephilim army when she's dating a fallen angel just seemed a little strange.
 
A lot of questions were answered in this in regards to just about everything and if I'm honest I skipped over description looking for the conversational parts because it seemed to go on for a long time, being dragged out.
 
I liked Dante. I never realised how wrong I could be about a character until this book. I wont spoil it but Jeez.
 
It was a good ending but I kind of think I'd lost interest in the series by the end.

"I can’t wait to see this new release! I have such incredible memories of watching this (probably just on a VHS borrowed from the library) and gushing over it with my mom and sister. All that gorgeousness, safe harbor from stupid rules, humor, light and landscape, and Kiri Te Kanawa blasting your heart out—such a welcome alternative for a young teenager into year six of the Reagan era. I am such a fan of how E. M. Forster’s novel engenders hope and the promise of a sane and healthy relationship between humans, love, and nature and themselves. This film is so fun, and feels like everything is coming from such a knowing, good, and caring place. It supports you! Be true to yourself, do the right thing!"
