A lot of things in season 2 were kind of out of left field but it kickstarted my LBH obsession so I gotta live with that now I guess!
Also rewatched season 1 which was a good decision, but also it only emphasized the shift in tone and camerawork in s2. S1 was this complete, refined, standalone product, while S2 has taken a lot of liberties. Here's hoping S3 will be better.
They could make hundreds of movies like this with LBH and I'd watch them all
This film dropped on European Netflix today, so I will be writing my review in English, in case more people who don't speak Russian watch it.
Now, this might sound contradictory, considering the source material is a superhero comic, but the biggest issue in Major Grom is just how much it tries to be a superhero film, emulating things that work in other movies, but fail miserably in this particular story, mostly because they forget about the most important thing…
I feel like all those top critics who gave this a low score simply because "the camera shook too much" completely missed the point, lol!
Manic is one of the rare movies that, while giving you a honest look at mental illness and mental health facilities, treats its characters as human beings first, each with their own thoughts, aspirations and flaws. Shows you the ups and downs. And yet it doesn't offer a concrete solution, there's no conclusion - much…
