SPOILERS AHEAD I really loved the conceit that Leda comes face-to-face with the decisions of her younger self both in memory and as represented by Nina. I loved the symbolism of Nina, her younger self, either destroying Leda and/or liberating her during that ambiguous ending. Again, I thought that was pretty interestingly executed in the movie, even if it's not a homerun. END SPOILERS Anyway, I can see why not everyone would like it. Worked well enough for me.

You and I read the symbols much the same way. I found myself working through the ending several ways (the phone conversation on the beach).
The ending is highly ambiguous. If the mark of a good film is to make you think, this one’s a good movie.

And now DH and I are really looking forward to dovetailing in a viewing of Kenneth Branagh’s “Dunkirk.”

We've been watching "Shameless" now for what seems like forever. It ran for 12 seasons, from 2011 to 2021. It goes on and on and on and on. We watch it when there is nothing else on.
Tremendous acting by Wm. Macy and Emmy Rossum and the rest of the cast. Laugh out loud funny sometimes. Fair warning, though, it is pretty raunchy. Just when you think the debauchery can't get any worse, it does.

Manifest. I'm still enjoying it and there are some great twists and turns in it. As I mentioned, it reminds me of "Lost" in some ways.

We enjoyed the first few, and it seemd to habe a lot of promise…then it seemed like the plots became very predictable and dreary, plumbing the worn out “evil government running secret experiments theme”. We didn’t finish the first season.

It is like Lost, but I think less convoluted. I swear they were making that one up as they went along. |

Watched Hanna on Amazon Prime. Pretty violent, and often unnecessarily so which kind of tempered things, but otherwise a good and interesting character and show. |

I thought someone on this thread recommended "The Alpinist?"
Watched it tonight and was thoroughly transfixed! Visually incredible and hair raising at the same time. Scott |

Transfixed is a good word for it. My wife and I were exactly that.

And speaking of Netflix looks like they are raising their rates $1-2

I read that last night. The basic $9.99 plan in Canada didn't go up though. That's what I have. Everything else is up though.
