Outer Banks (2020)
Don't You Hate It When The Actors Are Too Good For The Writing
I love Outer Banks, don't get me wrong. But there are so many gaps in the plot and reactions that just don't make sense. Part of me feels like they made some of the characters act so crazy to get away with it. I love the idea of the plot and the cast is 100% what makes the show so good and enjoyable, even through the side eye moments. Also, the cameraman in the first season during the running scenes should find a new job. The characters put their whole bussy in this show. Whoever plays Rafe and Topper 10/10. I truly hated those characters with my whole soul. I can't wait to see what these actors do moving forward. (Haven't seen season 3, yet.)
The Woman King (2022)
Viola Davis Deserves So Much Better
This movie was made through the white gaze and for white people. Seriously? Nawi becomes one of the fiercest warriors in all of Africa and she gets distracted by some boy??? So unnecessary. This movie felt cliche and corny which is disappointing because Viola Davis is phenomenal and killed it per usual. It was wonderful to see so much culture and tradition but it's hard to know what's believable or accurate because of how typical the plot was. So many scenes could have been more powerful but were anti-climatic and unoriginal. The actors gave top tier performances nonetheless and my rating is not a reflection of the acting.
Widows (2018)
"It was good, but I wanted it to be great." -ANTM
I watched this movie because Viola Davis was in it and was excited to find out the cast was 10/10 all together. The plot and the twists were fantastic. However, I felt the film and story had so much potential and the follow through of the movie did not match that. At times it felt melodramatic and not enough was given to really heighten the moments of betrayal that were exposed throughout the film. My favorite character was Jack, and I thought the way the characters were written expediently, overall. I didn't understand what happened with Alice at the end, either. Overall, shout out to the actors but the execution of the writing fell short and missed a lot of opportunities.
