Yunhui-ege (2019)
Snooze fest
I started to watch this story because it had a very promising story line. It tells about lesbian couple that was separated in youth and now meeting again after 20 years. I am still amazed how such an interesting plot with so many possibilities for philosophical reflections could be delivered in such a monotonuous, boring, unengaging manner! There is literally 0 interesting moments in the movie, even when the two women finally reunite after almost whole movie has passed. Terrible.
Heirs of the Night (2019)
Starts good, then descends into the abyss - should have ended with S1
I am in my 30s so I am obviously not the target audience for this show. However, as I like vampire shows, I started to watch S1. The lenght of the episodes is ideal - not too short, not too long, and the costumes, cinematography etc. Are all great. Season 1 is solid - the story is interesting, acting well done considering all main actors are beginners. Yes there were cringeworthy moments in S1, cliche characters (Dracula), too much teen / child drama, but overall the story was unfolding in an interesting way.
Season 2 is a huge - and I mean HUGE - letdown. It feels like directors did not know what to write about so they were coming with most meaningless plot twists that were extremely boring to watch. Plus the cliches - S2 is so full of them that I was utterly disappointed after I watched the last episode. Too bad. Some aspects of the story that they should have developed:
- feeling of loneliness and abandonment by Nico - suddenly he is left all alone and without a mother - this could have been a powerful moment for the show, instead it was just a wasted opportunity filled with meaningless plot fillers
- why is Calvina so young? She is a miscast. Her vampire storyline is completely and I mean COMPLETELY meaningless
- story ending - so unoriginal and uninspirative - should be rewritten
- why are all the elders removed from S2? Instead of making a kids show, they should have been utilised to create a more realistic story of war between vampires and men
- too many subplots - wtf is Noaidi for?
- the plot between Nico and Alisa was interesting and then suddenly Dracula turned Calvina into a vampire - wtf, makes no sense - Nico -Alisa story should have been better developed
- Van Helsing character - wtf, what is his point in the show, except to represent cliche of cliches? He has no place in the show
- school part was fun, so was learning about different clans. Why they abandoned this in S2 is beyond me.

Metaphor for nothing
The show was promising but ended up. Being way too slow and cliche. What is worst is that it is romanticising death - no, it is not ok to kill people even if they are replicants! It is a metaphor for nothing, just pure violence hidden under pretense of "artistic expression". Living thorugh Pain is something else, not killing and destroying.

I don't understand the bad reviews
The movie is fun to watch even for adults. Yes it might not be comparable to Ice Age etc., but still it's humorous and interesting to watch.
A Discovery of Witches (2018)
S1 excellent, S2 horrible
After Season 1 I was really hooked and couldn't wait for second season. I tried to read books but they were horrible. However Season 1 brought the best out of the book and really made impression. Season 2 is a huge letdown - nothing happens except actress strolling in nice dresses, it feels like costume party and I could really feel that the author made the series just to justify her obsession with costume drama. Huge letdown !
General (2019)
Unwatchable
Disgrace for Croatian cinema. Acting is so bad that a child would do better. Director should be prohibited from further directing
Fête de famille (2019)
Disaster! Director should please stop directing
What a waste of time! This is the worst movie out of all movies that I've seen in the past decade ! It is completely pointless and all characters are extremely annoying. I can't even believe how can anyone write such nonsense, let alone direct it. Complete waste of time and energy to preserve until the end. AVOID! Message to writer : please spare us bad writing like these!
