The only director/filmaker that can come close to
Guðmundur Arnar Guðmundsson is the great Lukas Dhont.
The script for this film is utterly outstanding. Realism, and the torture of youth are prominent themes. But also the pain of love and the sacrifices that can come with it.
But what struck me even more was the utter magnificence of Guðmundsson's eye for beautiful shots and outstanding setting. The mountain regions where the film is shot is some of the most stunning scenery on earth. And it takes the film to another level entirely.
Every. Single. Scene. Is directed like a work of art. The lighting is impeccable and so cinematic in so many scenes of this film.
The director's perfectionism is on full-display in this film. And if you like moving pieces about the difficulties of adolescence then this film will never forget this film.

"Hazbin Hotel," despite its ambitious attempt at blending adult humor with animation, falls short in several key areas. The humor, which is intended to be edgy and provocative, often comes across as immature and on-the-nose. Jokes that are meant to shock or surprise the audience feel predictable and lack the subtlety required to make them genuinely funny. Instead of clever wit or nuanced satire, the series relies heavily on lowbrow gags and crude humor, which can quickly become tiresome.
The voice acting in "Hazbin Hotel" is a mixed bag. While some characters are voiced competently, others suffer from exaggerated or forced performances that detract from the overall experience.
Sad and disappointed that Hollywood has completely forgotten how to write comedy.

I hate writing reviews but this one earned it. ABSOLUTELY fantastic fantasy/comedy/mystery show. The writing is on-point.
No Agendas. No preaching. Just a really great show.
PS. Felix Cameron (who plays the main character Eli) is a star. I've not seen a kid with that kind of charisma ever. Hopefully this is the start of more truly fun and original shows from Netflix.
I love that it really isn't a kid show and is more adult-oriented. But somehow it still captures that childhood whimsicalness that shows you liked as a kid had.
Adding more words to satisfy the ridiculous 600 character requirement.
