Good grief, Rebecca invented a fake boyfriend! I guess it had to happen.

I guess guys love this fantasy? And it's a tried and tested story.

Trustafarian Superhero premieres next month on Netflix!

Same. My expectations were too high because the praise for it ever since the TIFF was as over the top as the operatic piece of music that plays during a key flashback in the film!

I really enjoyed it, particularly the first half, when the relationships and tensions between the parents meeting up at the school were apparent. I loved Dern's character mistaking Woodley for a nanny! Intercutting snippets of various parents' police interviews and their verdicts on everyone ("like a dirty old Prius…

The property porn was hardcore.

Sweet jesus, that was easily the most cringe-inducing episode even *before* the pole dancing. I was dying of mortification during the pole dance. But White Josh going "I think I just saw inside of her" made me laugh.

Odd but likable movie that's a good half-hour too long.

It didn't live up to the rave reviews. I really like Lonergan's style, his combination of drama and comedy, of banal absurdity with tragedy. But this story didn't speak to me. In spite of their humour, I didn't find the man or the boy in it particularly likable.

the deranged former submissive who stalks Ana and who confronts her at gunpoint, asking, “What do you have that I don’t?”

Wow, way to make an impression with a pilot. So stylish. I guess the visuals remind me most of The Shining.

Maybe there is no Syd? If Syd is a figment of David's imagination, then David just escaped from the hospital after he caused a distracting incident there.

Colin Farrell yelling "WHAT HAVE YE DONE TA MEEEEE? YE VENGEFUL BITCHES!" is lulzy as hell. (Why does he have a Dublin accent in this?) That line is a meme waiting to happen.

This was me and Gossip Girl. Actually, I didn't even appreciate the story the show was telling, at the time. I just really wanted the nice, cute, optimistic version of it, and the show kept letting me down (as I saw it) until I dropped it.

That was much darker and sadder than I was expecting, and there was little comedy or music in the episode to leaven it. I think the saddest part was the scene where Rebecca gave her father the cheque and all the other gifts, then pleaded with him to stay while berating herself for being needy.

Man, that's such a nice comment, especially when you have a different take on the show.

I really like that this is the kind of show where when bullied Paula
suddenly has all the power in the office, she doesn't turn it into a
no-bullying zone. Instead she becomes a bully, and makes one of her
former bullies the new victim. It's not all sunshine in West Covina! But it rings true.

The silliest thing in this episode was Delaney's telekinetic sex with his half-sister. (It's amazing the skills he picked up during his gap years abroad.) But the bit that made me laugh was when Tom Hollander's performing chemist was having sex, and we cut to Delaney standing behind him looking on with his usual…

Yeah, I didn't like Greg that much in this episode. He can't be nice to Rebecca for the space of one date? Seeing through her bullshit is fine, but he seems to be more generally negative and a little cutting.
