It's been a really long time that I've seen something that reminds me of why I love movies.
It's rare I find a movie that is so human that you experience the gamut of emotions in one film. All of the actors were great and the characters well written. I laughed, I cried, I sympathized, rooted for, identified with, saw myself in some parts, it hit some inner child wounds, had me deep in philosophical thought and made me contemplate human nature...all in all it was a spiritual experience.
Human connection, The Human Condition, Family Dynamics and Dysfunction, Our Connection to the Universe.... I couldn't believe what I had seen and couldn't wait to see it again I knew that when I did I would see even more in it.
When they get it right it's like having an out of body experience and this is what seeing this movie the first time did.
Michelle Yeoh deserves all the awards possible for her acting very few people could pull this role off and she did it brilliantly.
What I really appreciated most were the obvious metaphors for mental health and the need for human connection and family support done in such a transcendent yet digestible way.

I am a huge Anne Rice fan and I love the Vampire chronicles. In some ways the way they fundamentally changed Luis' story to fit into a more interesting time made their relationship even more compelling and complicated. Capturing a unique part of New Orleans History was a smart play.
The story had some elements of another of her books The Feast of All Saints so I could go with it...
My problem came with Claudia...she was way too old and her acting was pretty one dimensional...I know it would be pretty impossible to get a 5 year old to have the necessary depth for the character but maybe an 8 or 9 year old could have pulled it off...
There is something automatically horrifying about an immortal child that drinks blood to survive...with the soul of an adult.
Luis and Lestat on the other hand were great together and the toxic narcissist abuser dynamic was palpable.
Looking forward to the next season which should be in France if we are following the book...

The Witching Hour which is the first book of the series is a masterpiece. That book is over 1000 pages. That one book easily could have lasted 2 or 3 seasons...if they took time to really tell the story and show Lasher through the generations of the Mayfair family....
Her writing was elaborate, rich descriptive and detailed it's like they made this series from the cliff notes leaving out major characters like Julian....
I had so much hope for this series and was excited that it was finally being done but they missed the mark so badly.... I regret that I sat through the entire thing...
I would suggest if you haven't read the first book of the trilogy do so ...this series is already forgettable but the written story is brilliant...
