Underrated, but Stunning Acting and Cinematography!
17 March 2020
Frances McDormand is one of the greatest actresses of our time, in my opinion, rivaling Meryl Streep. Her performance was amazing and a sight to behold on screen. The entire cast aids her performance such as Richard Jenkins and Bill Murray.

McDormand's character Olive Kitteridge is very cold and a hard person to love. She is depressed and takes her frustration and anger out on others. However, the writing is stellar because the narrative changes quickly without warning. Despite the name of the show, it is not all about Olive Kitteridge. The series focuses on other characters, the town and the relationships of others.

I was very young when I watched this show. I was 12 and I was on a plane. I fell in love with the cinematography and the acting. The themes of the series are quite dark such as suicide, depression and regret, but it is important to see because of how beautiful the writing, acting and directing is. Each episode is an important part of the life of Olive Kitteridge that spans a little over 25 years. I recommend this show for anyone who loves watching stunning performances and beautiful cinematography!
