I have no words for how awful this movie is. Amateur hour all the way! Terrible acting, over-the-top nonsensical plot, and some of the worst sound-mixing I’ve heard. Dialogue is often whispery-quiet, then, when action and/or music starts, it cranks WAY up and shatters your eardrums if you have on headphones! Yikes.
This is very much an “I might look like I have some class but make me mad and I’ll slap yo’ ass right into next week” kind of movie. No one looks good here on account of that.
NOT recommended unless you’re looking for a clown show - and this review is coming from someone who sometimes enjoys goofy Lifetime idiocy. This dreck is way less fun than any Lifetime movie.
Dear Father Brown is back, and the title of this first episode of the season is very apt. Change is the word of the day here, as nearly all the beloved characters have exited (with brief in-story explanations) and new ones have signed on. I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes, or what the plan going forward is going to look like, but this first episode went well, with Father Brown once again showing his investigative chops, making sense of some pretty far-out clues and red herrings. I love this sweet show and will stay with it even with the changes. It appears that this entire season of Father Brown has dropped at once, so you can binge if that’s your thing.
*I understand there is a similar new Brit show about a nun, Sister Boniface(?) who is something of a sleuth as well, but I haven’t watched any episodes yet so I’ll have to look it up. Enjoy!
