This movie was kind of a surrealist horror in the sense that even by the end, the audience had a sense of how the crimes were perpetuated, but not the details. I thought it was decent.

This was a rather slow movie and it took me a while to get the gist of it. It wasn’t my favourite because the plot played out a in a way that was too low key for me.

I had heard good things about this movie and I ended up enjoying it! Like many Chinese movies, this one does have a moral stance, particularly on bullying and justice. However, the relationship between the characters was able to draw my attention away from what might otherwise have been an overbearing message, and gave the story a more human touch. This was a good drama movie.

This was a pretty interesting movie. I enjoyed it. It had an interesting story, but also Alfred Hitchcock is the goat for a reason.

A simple but thrilling story. Worth a watch for those who like mystery thrillers.

I’ll be real, this movie was hyped up quite a bit for me and it didn’t end up delivering to the extent I’d hoped. It was still good, but it did not take the direction I thought it would. It didn’t give me the mystery thrills I was craving.

I really appreciated this book for leaning into its concept. It may not be for everyone, but I appreciated that Dunn really leaned into the full spirit of the freak show. I would recommend this book for people who want to read about dysfunctional who are terrible to one another.

This was a very typical BBC David Attenborough documentary. It was nice, but I wouldn’t say it was particularly special.

I’d been hearing about this documentary but to be honest it didn’t present any arguments to me that I hadn’t already heard of, even in the year 2020 when it was released. It’s fine for someone who is young and perhaps grew up with social media, but as a millennial who saw the growth of social media as well as the various conversations and discussions around it, it didn’t surprise me. The documentary perhaps presented more facts and interviews, but it didn’t really interest me or shock me. Which is ironic to say because one of the big arguments of the documentary was how social media was designed to grab our attention, and I’m rating this documentary as just ok because it didn’t grab my attention.
