The Curse (2022)
Brilliant!
The Curse is awesome, Tom Davis is awesome, the 80s vibe is awesome, the twists and turns are awesome. It's also based on a true story, which is cool.
The Romanians Are Coming (2015)
I think the other reviews misunderstood
This documentary was heartfelt and portrayed both the good and the bad, with the bad mostly struggling people who, if they were British and not foreign, would be viewed as having mental health problems instead of just being inherently 'bad people/ thieves/ criminals'.
I think the other reviewers have misunderstood the documentary. It makes very clear that only some of the Romanians filmed are Roma, and it is clear about which they are. It films people who come to the U. K. with absolutely nothing, but it also films those who have qualifications and jobs, who came from a life they loved in Romania (see: the nurse). I thought it was an honest and unbiased series, and it opened my eyes to a lot. I really enjoyed it and found it incredibly touching in places. It also made me laugh at times, and I feel I've learned more about the reasons people migrate to the U. K. - as well as how difficult it can be for people. I found it shocking that people sometimes have to live in such conditions, and I thought all who were filmed are brave, with most putting up with awful lives for the good of their families.
