Harry Connick Jnr we love you and so good to see you back in movies!

Such a beautiful setting,movie and music focussing on friendship,family values and lost love with a wonderful cast of local Greek actors.

Also refreshing seeing an age appropriate Gen X relationship for once. For me it was a cross between a Mamma Mia type storyline with dominant female characters and yet also a Crazy Heart type feeling without the country and western vibe. I wish more movies like this were produced providing such a non Hollywood vibe supporting local indépendant actors filmed on location in such a beautiful part of the world. More like this please 😊

Have seen first 2 episodes so far and loving it . Up there with " Bump " as my favourite Aussie Tv series post dreary 2020.

This should have been a movie release , showcased to the world as it is the best Australian production I have seen in years . Absolute screen chemistry between Tim and Milly , drop dead Australian cinematography , humour , fantastic music and beautiful life experience . Tim , you are a legend and I hope the world beyond Foxtel watchers appreciate this and get the chance to see it .

I am left gutted ( something which Fortitude has always excelled at ) . Here I am , settling in to the 4th episode of Fortitude 3 , thinking after the first few great episodes I am travelling along another great character development and intriguing plot line . I very quickly find out this is the final episode ever wtf ?? ( I have invested hours of my life in this programme ) and watching now feeling I must have missed 2 previous episodes as nothing seems to make sense, there are big plot gaps eg how did Dennis Quaid get sucked into Elsa's web after being a sacrifice only an episode ago ? It felt to me a lot like the disappointment I felt with final GOT ( why rushed , where is the resolution and understanding of why we invested in these characters over so many years , these fantastic actors and your loyal following of viewers surely deserve more ????? , only to be dished up like a Weight watchers ready freeze meal ) . Having said that , hats off to Dennis Quaid , who after his high point in the Meg Ryan years , has come back proving that maturity and age can only make you get better and hotter 😊 Richard Dormer is up there with Mel and Jack re crazy / mad eyes , he is a legend . I remember watching my final episode of Mad Men and being a " tad " disappointed that it didn't necessarily complete the story enough and uphold the excellent standard we viewers expected and being a bit 🤓 After final GOT and final Fortitude there is new term to be developed beyond Fonzie " jumping the shark " to describe this recent phenomenon of destroying a carefully plotted , paced and excellent series by wrapping it up in a final 2 episodes of epic fail, rush and confusion . Anyone got any ideas ? " falling into the black hole " ? " the writer has dementia soz, let's wrap it up " or " Jon Snow you know nothing , so PO " Ideas anyone ? I hope not to see the same thing happen to future excellent quality series we viewers invest our time and love into ...

I was really disappointed when this movie did not sweep the Oscars like La La land did with the same songwriters .( Pasek and Paul ). This movie is a musical that is so much better with a much better soundtrack ( much as I loved La La land ) , the songs in this movie are Sooooo much more and every song is magic . It will survive like The Sound of Music . It should have won the Oscar for best song .. Coco was a great film ,but didn't come close in what the anthem "This is Me " is. Hugh Jackman is an Australian God.He can do no wrong as triple threat .. For a directorial debut Michael Gracey is brilliant .. This film should have won Oscars , but the slow build after its release says it all ....
