Never sure where its going next. (0 more)

Ends with a feeling of overall sadness for the characters (0 more)

Thought provoking, sentimental and sad

A wife struggles to deal with her grief over the death of her husband who drowned when they were on holiday. Years later she bumps into the doppelganger of her husband, her consequences of her actions shape the film and events afterwards.

Worth a watch, bittersweet film, portrayed so well you feel empathy for each character and how fleeting life is.

Also I wouldnt call this a comedy....more drama, romance, nostalgia and grief.

Oh yeah! Serial killers and the paranormal OH MY!!

No spoilers. Book is one of his best. A 2 day read. Had to put it down only because I was completely unaware of my family's needs. Someone has to cook. Anyways... What I loved the most is finding small pieces of myself in each character. Whether good, bad, or ugly. We all can relate. The story itself is a page turner. Descriptive, twisty, haunting, and thought provoking. We are all The Outsider in our own way. READ IT.

MrsSkefton (3 KP) rated The Reason I Jump: One Boy's Voice from the Silence of Autism in Books

Jul 26, 2018

Easy read - each chapter is relative to a trait or “issue” with concise thoughts and insights that can be really useful if living or working with autistic people. (2 more)

Thought provoking and moving in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

A book I can share with my eldest daughter and other family members in the hope they can make connections or learn how to better interact with my youngest autistic daughter.

Nothing this book can solve - I’d just like a female perspective too as female autism has other traits and separate difficulties. (0 more)

Insightful!

TV Show Rating

Gripping, moving and thought-provoking, this short series follows a troubled journalist who returns to her childhood hometown to chronicle the investigation into a recent death and new disappearance of young girls. The series covers her issues, her family troubles, the town's history and the underlying layer of grime beneath the Southern hospitality. There are a number of strands to this series, all of which could have filled a series on their own, and are seamlessly intertwined to one complete storyline.
Excellently acted, written and directed, this series does not put a foot wrong.
