What a waste of my time!!!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Mosaic's Steven Soderbergh six-part limited series takes off slowly but surely and does a great job at blurring the truth with reality. It's unsuspected ending may leave many frustrated only because we, the audience, will not the satisfaction of knowing what the truth is, nor are the characters in the series. I was hoping for a Season 2. Sharon Stone is "MAGNIFIQUE" as. Olivia Lake.

At first the camera work and editing can seem underwhelming. It felt strangely 'distanced', or observing, compared to what one has come to expect from today's fiction. But, given time, the show grew on me with its intriguing, though slightly confusing story line, and its interesting characters. But it will not be everyones cup of tea. Not all hints, plot elements and dialogue seem to go somewhere. Emphasis on characters change unexpectedly, as do perspectives and general direction. The style of the series feels a bit like observing events around you in real life where things are not easily interpreted, but none the less interesting enough for you to keep looking. For me, this style gave the show a touch of realism that made it enjoyable, even refreshing. Like its titular object, the series is a mosaic of sorts with odd fragments beginning to come together as you watch the story unfold.

I kept watching over and over and kept getting more confused. what was that symbol that petra kept seeing? a gir's tat, a decal on a car fender, the editing seems to be a huge problem. at first sharon stone was a celebrated member of the community and towards the end everyone was speaking about her like she was a joke. why did she tell that dirty joke when he brought his girlfriend over for a visit, made no sense, then she as a cougar offers him a place in lieu of handyman work, then she demands $ months later, and the constant dropping of f bombs at thanksgiving dinner in front of his parents (who never had a line by the way).

A twisty solid drama from HBO. I enjoyed the acting especially and noticed how Soderbergh's strong touch really helped elevate this show.
