Under the Bridge is a haunting series that stays with you after the final episode.
The series explores the tragic murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk, weaving together themes of adolescence and the dark side of human nature.
Riley Keough delivers a great performance. The whole cast bring raw authenticity to their roles. The writing is sharp and the pacing is tight, balancing tension with deep emotion.
This focuses on the human cost-how a vulnerable girl's life was cut short by cruelty.
The series doesn't just ask who did it, but why, forcing viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about bullying, race, and societal neglect.
The cinematography is stunning, with the moody landscapes of British Columbia mirroring the melancholy tone. This is powerful and thought-provoking.

I caught this on Prime Video. Holland blends suburban paranoia with quirky Dutch-inspired kitsch, but the result is a peculiar and doesn't quite land.
The movie follows Nancy Vandergroot (Nicole Kidman), a picture-perfect housewife who suspects her optometrist husband, Fred (Matthew Macfadyen), of infidelity-only to uncover a darker secret.
It's a visually striking and equal parts intriguing and baffling. Nicole Kidman is undeniably the film's highlight, delivering a brilliant performance that's both magnetic and unhinged. She channels her knack for playing women on the brink-like in The Stepford Wives. She has a great ability to balance comedy and dread, and she's a joy to watch as Nancy spirals, whether she's smearing ketchup on meatloaf or snooping through Fred's office.
But the film itself is all a bit weird, and not always in a good way. It's more confusing than unsettling, leaving you wondering what the point is. It's a middling watch-worth it for Kidman fans.

"A Simple Favor" had us questioning our friendships, our wardrobes, and our ability to mix the perfect martini. The first movie, let's be clear, was a delicious cocktail of dark humor and fashion so sharp it could cut glass. It was stylish, witty, surprisingly dark, and I loved it. It was good.
Well, strap on your designer sunglasses for 'Another Simple Favor', this sequel proves you can have too much of a good thing-like a second helping of stale gelato in Capri. It's a wild ride, but not in a good way. It's a hot mess. It's a movie that tries so hard to be clever and unpredictable that it ends up being neither.
Stephanie (Kendrick) and Emily (Lively) do their best to convince us they're friends, while sipping cocktails in Capri. The chemistry between them feels like they're just counting the minutes until they can leave the set.
If you're looking for a movie that makes sense, look elsewhere, you might tolerate this - but honestly, you're better off re-watching The White Lotus for your dose of messy rich people drama. But if you're in the mood for a hot mess with a side of Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, then by all means, give it a watch. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
Verdict: Watch the scenery, skip the story, do yourself a favor and watch the original instead.
