The Idea of You (2024)
Not living up to the average romantic drama
I wasn't bored while watching, but it felt cringeworthy so many times. The characters weren't deep enough to make me feel anything. Anne Hathaway's acting was good, and I want to see her in more serious movies in the future, but preferably in a movie with a more realistic story. I like the idea of the movie but maybe in a different concept. If you are searching for a good romantic drama, this is not it. It's a bit below the average rating for what a mediocre romantic drama would get, but it's watchable. And if this had been a pure RomCom, you wouldn't have laughed because the movie is funny; you would have laughed because it's cringe.
Jana - Märkta för livet (2024)
Ingmar Bergman would be turning in his grave
Unfortunately, this series did not turn out well. I haven't read the books, but if I were the book's author, I wouldn't have been proud of this film adaptation at all. As someone else mentioned in a review here, a first-year film student could have done better - that's very true. Nothing touched me. The directing, script, and acting were all poor. Not even the film score was any good. I don't know what their budget was, but they could have filmed much smarter. And why can't Swedish actors be more natural in front of the camera? Skip the theatrical style, please. Instead of a 1 out of 10, I rate this a 2 out of 10 because it was fun to see beautiful Norrköping from a film perspective. Everything else was torture. Sorry.
