What Happened to Monday (2017)
A good premise, amazingly executed.
The moment I read the synopsis of this movie, I had a feeling it would be amazing. And that feeling was correct. From the very beginning, the movie shows glimpses of what kind of world the characters live in, and watchers will be able to gauge the tone immediately. The sisters are all unique, exceptionally portrayed by the main actress. What I loved most about the movie is the balance between different kinds of scenes. No moment is dull or unneeded. It all flows nicely until the end. The concept of the movie is certainly not original, but the execution, the performances, and good editing make it a wonderful watch. I would certainly love it if a mature series was made of this. One that would tackle this very concept, but explores different aspects of the world that was presented here. All in all, a great movie that certainly deserves praise.
The Lost City of Z (2016)
Nothing extraordinary, but still enjoyable to a degree
When I first heard of this movie, I was intrigued by the premise. I knew it wouldn't be an exciting ride of non-stop action, but I was still disappointed in how the movie handled the flow of the events (from mid-movie onward), one of which felt out of place and unnecessary to the story. But it's still enjoyable for those who like this type of storytelling. My favorite thing is the performances of the actors involved, especially Mr. Hunnam. His portrayal felt deep, humble and relatable. There are two kinds of social commentary present in this movie, both of which tackle important issues. I liked how the first was handled, but in the other one, a character made a sudden, out of place, and illogical demand/expectation that made me feel it could've been handled much better.
All in all, as the summary suggests, while there is nothing outstanding about the movie in specific areas, it can still be enjoyable.
