Get in the car!
One of my favorite movies. I could watch this every week for the rest my my life for some reason. Everyone and everything is so quick paced. Everyone is pretty lovable. Lots of heavy hitters in this movie that deliver subtle yet memorable scenes. Kinda nice that its about an aspiring writer.

Killing themselves w that name
I didnt get the opportunity to see this show until this year after someone said I had to watch it. The name threw me off everytime it was a suggested watch. Its a drama with amazing sets and acting and story. It reminds me of Yellowstone in a lot of ways. Exceptional script and direction. The seasons go on and on and you soon understand that you never can tell how a certain character will act. Twists every episode.

For people who know little about operation Anthropoid this movie should be amazing. But people who knew about this bit of history prior to viewing, the final product is ridiculously accurate. The scenes in this film felt so original, you felt like you were a part of it, almost living it. The performances were great. There were high stakes and unbearable inhumanity in this story and these people suffered terribly. It was a piece of history that needs to remain very much on the front page.

Being Irish is a complicated thing
Where to begin. Being accurate and entertaining is a delicate thing to do and these actors did their work fo sho. If you need a good movie to curl up with popcorn and have a good cry, ( thanks Cillian) this is a perfect movie. It feels like a very important film that had to be made. The shots of the countryside? Breathtaking.

Crying ISNT optional
Omg, Ive just watched an entire week worth of Cillian Murphy movies and his ability to become these characters is upsetting. I wouldnt trust that man.at all.whatsoever. This film moved me so profoundly. Brings up past feelings you only thought were behind you. If you've experienced unconditional love, you will be absolutely heartbroken by the events and how it builds to that ending..... If you havent experienced unconditional love you will still cry like a f--ckin "bebe".
