Hal & Harper

Hypnotised by the strong visual language and creative story structure about young adult siblings living on fragmented memories of a mother who abandon them at an early age, leaving their bipolar father to bring them up. The story picks up with surprising news from their father (another brilliant performance by Mark Ruffalo) that unconsciously triggers the dominos to fall, as each one struggles to deal with their own dilemma, but also attempting to be there for each other. Creator, Cooper Raiff, not only plays Hal, but wrote and directed this powerful series of a fractured family unit dealing with the dismantled past while rebuilding a blurry future...

Great movie .. The sorrow they feel passes to the audience.. The cast is perfect.. But the musics and background sounds are exhausting.. So loud and unrelated weird noise crowd. And the time layers very hard to follow.. Watching should be easy. All the series long, try to understand when was this, was it before or after..

Actually, I don't understand someone gives a bad review for this series.. recently, I have never seen a sincere honest and deep tv series. It is about post tramvas of a family and everything seems real and not calculated. I feel in this way and I am really mortified. This production makes me thinking about myself and I find myself in my inner journey.. acting i: also very very good.. one negative part for me the flashback period 2009 sometimes it is boring and the idea there is good but it is better to shorten it if it is not contributed to the bigger picture.

Hal and Harper is definitely an interesting premise that I wasn't too sure about when it was first announced, however it's since grown on me and I adore it. It had happy and sad moments that involve both Hal and Harper and how their childhood has affected them as adults. Harper just trying to find her place and Hal trying to be an adult is comedic and heartfelt at the same time. The only part that I'm still not completely sure about was Lili and Cooper playing their childhood selves. The pair do an amazing job but it's still unnerving to see two adults in a room full of kids but I guess that's the point. I would recommend this show to people definitely especially if you're a Lili Reinhart fan!"

I think the story is too disconnected to be impactful with the choice of storytelling they used. If this was a spin off to something and the characters had a template for people to follow maybe this would be better but it just doesn't work.

This is like some sundance garbage that's too convoluted to follow but everyone praises it as art because it makes them feel using film techniques. This would have made more sense as an anthology as it's main goal doesn't seem to be telling a story, the main goal is to invoke a feeling.
