Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

phd_travel At a birthday party a hot tempered guy slaps someone else's kid. The family and friends involved line up on different sides as the incident snowballs. The kid was tearing up flowers and swinging his bat around dangerously. His parents didn't really keep him in check. So the questions are did he deserve to be slapped at all and if so by someone other than his parents? It's interesting because there are some out of control kids these days - so what is the proper way to deal with them and who is going to do it if the parents do not. Is physical discipline right or wrong? Each episode is from a different character's POV and has a different feel. So it depends whether you find that week's character interesting. Don't really care for Hector's (Peter Sarsgaard) character. Seems a bit slimy and unlikeable. Anouk (Uma Thurman) as a single friend was more interesting. So was Manolis (Brian Cox) the patriarch. Harry (Zachary Quinto) as the A type slapper was quite interesting too and he is quite convincing in his role. The baby sitter Connie was a bit of a drag.Overall worth a watch to see how it pans out by there are some not so good episodes that may cause you to lose interest.

purchasing-32 Honestly, I was horribly turned off by the hyped up advertising. The first episode was horrible. It seems to be the current trend to pump up and try to trigger reactions vs. produce quality art for first episodes and beginning and ending season episodes. I've learned to ignore what I call the Stupid Factor of Studio Pandering.Why the 7? Because each progressive episodes is improving to a quality worth taking the time for. In particular, Uma Thurman's episode Anouk while predictable, IMO was satisfying; And I am enjoying the treatment and evolution of this mini-series. Not to mention I'm enjoying the highlighting of each of these major actors chops!The two-dimensional treatment of the first episode is fraying into something more... But I don't know if it will be enough.

gabrielacanchola I am glad to finally find a show that lets you think for yourself, challenging the lazy depiction of good guy vs. bad guy that the media relies on for ratings. I love how none of the characters are completely good or completely bad, completely wrong or completely right. They simply are. When a child gets slapped, you both have reason to applaud the man for doing what I know I've wanted to do many a times to an unruly, undisciplined child at the grocery store and to condemn him - he obviously does have anger issues. While he is clearly wrong, he is in many ways, completely right. I think this show will bring out our preconceived biases. It will be easy to jump to conclusions and make assumptions about the characters based on our own internal values. You will find yourself rooting for the character you want to believe in most, and then disappointed in them - challenging those little biases and beliefs we love to cling to. Most shows tell you who is good and bad, forcing you to accept their notion of right and wrong. But, what if life is more complicated, more messy and simply not black and white? This show is for the intellectual, I think. Those who find comfort in the bad guy just being the bad guy and the good guy just being the good guy... this show will only leave you confused and uncomfortable. If you like to hear every side of an issue - and are open to experiencing other perspectives than your own - you will find this show wildly engaging. Also, while a bit dramatic, the acting is suburb.

Narce The brattily misbehaving child that gets slapped is only the tip of the iceberg in this plethora of inconsiderate, rude, prejudiced and generally unlikeable people.The main character is infatuated by his (too young to legally have a beer) baby sitter, who compounds the problem by showing up to his birthday party - an inappropriate choice in an even more inappropriate relationship. The mother who brings piles of food and comments on how the Jews do it (Dessert? Something in boxes at any rate) so much better, and who converses with her family members in Greek in front of everyone. The friends who raise this abominable child and seem to feel that allowing him to do anything he wants is appropriate lest they stifle his self-expression. The cousin who shows up in a Land Rover and is worried about it being "jacked" in this neighbourhood.There are other, more peripheral characters that I haven't yet come to know in any depth, but somehow I doubt that to know them will lead me to love them.
