Sharp Objects

The spartan and enormously slow-moving frame story essentially serves as a vehicle into the inner life of the main character played devotedly by Amy Adams, creating space for a masterful construction of the mathematics of emotions without dissecting them.

To be and not to be, to do and not to do, to love and hate, to be heartfelt as well as heartless - an oscillating panopticon of possibilities between stirring experiences, wishful thinking and bitter truths literally carved into the skin.

Great cinema, the kind that can actually only take place in the mind and slowly unfold as in a book. A stylistic masterpiece.

Is it slow? Yes, it is! But it's also beautifully made. The characters are amazing, the acting is even better and the story is catchy. It's a mystery-drama series...it supposed to be slow, to give you time to grow with the characters, to understand every detail. It's not advertised as being the avengers...it's not an action movie...

A hats off to Jean Marce Vallee. This is a masterpiece. I still didn't get over from the finale. Especially from the post credits scenes. This is far better than the brilliant Big Little Lies by the same director, which was really good too. We can't really decide who did their roles best. Amy Adams or Patricia Clarkson or Eliza Scanlen. They were absolutely stunning. A must watch for all.

In an age of constant renewals and shows that refuse to bow out when they're on top, there's something to be said for the beauty of a self-contained story, well-told.

I've never posted a review before but just HAD to for this. I've also never binged watched 7 hours of tv straight before. This was brilliant from the beginning to the very last credit.
