About Time (2013)
It is just perfect
One of the things that strikes me about this film is how ruined I am by cliché plots of most movies that set up a nice situation just so they can ruin it and make plot about it. During first two thirds of the movie I was constantly expecting the main character to do something stupid or just unfortunate and that everything nice that was fall apart. The more I waited the more terrified I was, expecting all plot insofar to be a build-up for that one fatal blunder. Then it slowly downed on me that it wasn't going to happen - he was just a normal nice guy with maybe more common sense that most and he did smart but otherwise normal decent human things, and it worked for him perfectly. In the end, everything was perfect and ordinary at the same time. Just perfectly ordinary! Just perfect! It's the best film I ever watched. For me.
Utopia (2013)
Visually stunning
I agree in most points with other reviews but I just had to add that show's visuals are simply stunning. Like in best documentaries where every frame is a beautiful photo on itself. So many different views, vantage points, colors and contrasts. I was totally surprised and delighted by it.
I was also delighted to have a conclusion in only six episodes - nowadays we are almost expecting a show to drag it's heels through at least 10 episodes with many distractions of 'drama' and 'character development'. In fact, it was almost too short. I was enjoying visuals so much that end did come little to soon. I really hope there will be another season. Cast is perfect - I wouldn't change anything at all.
I have to say that every time I discover another British series I'm reminded how dull and cliché-like is most of the American production.
