Great Film overall

Expected more

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I really, really liked Big Little Lies and am excited for the second season but oh man, I hope they give up on their gratuitous use of music and shots of iPhone/ iPods which seem to be there mainly to say "Hey, look how into music our music department are" rather than lending anything to the story or atmosphere. They're doing the same with Sharp Objects and it's already distracting after one episode.

This show is just too much. I had so much fun watching it! Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley and Laura Dern are amazing, but Reese Witherspoon steals the show. It's my favorite performance of hers. I can't wait for season 2! I hope it's as good as the first one.

Ok. So I don't usually leave reviews on IMDB, because my English is not so good. Also, I'm a female. I think in this case it might make a role, although I'm not too different from humans with penises instead of vaginas. The difference is that humans with penises also have more testosterone and God knows what, which makes for them anger be more socially appropriate emotional expeession than sadness, fear, care, well, any other. This is a very important show. Not only aesthetically, brilliant acting, sometimes questionable but sometimes very well placed music, story, but also the fact that it exists. Me myself used to live with abusive husband, who didn't look like evil or movie image of abusive husbands, who looks like typical hipster with dreadlocks and tattoos. Yet I cried all scenes with Nicole Kidman, how beliavable she was, how much I could relate to her character. Ofcourse this review is emotional, it's supposed to be that. But the fact that this show exist and yes, I didn't buy the last plot twist, irl he would go to court to get custody and probably he would get it, because such a nice fellow he is. And for most of people who never meet anything like that (lucky ones) it seems that it isn't real. But it is. And thanks to HBO and random article about latest roles of Nicole Kidman I knew about this show. It's empowering. Thank you.

No ome has to take into account eho is owrking on this mini serie, the reality is that is well produced, with amazing acts, really good music, and a plot that make you feel that you want need to know more and more. Deep caracther's and well executed showing how society is.. i'm not a fan of nicole kidman, but on this serie i've just totally change my opinion about her acting... as well as rise whisterpoon... sublime in mine opinion. Take a look on this serie, it's whorty!!!
