I haven't seen acting this bad since Tommy Wiseau's 'The Room', and it wouldn't be super far-fetched to say that The Room's cast had the upper hand. The miniseries has some "dramatic" moments that alongside the poor acting, poor script, and poor direction ends up feeling laughably bad. It isn't so-bad-it's-good like The Room: instead, it's straight up awful. Don't waste your time with this poor adaptation of Homer's Odyssey. Anything but this.

Miss Stevens
(2016)
Arrived For Chalamet, Stayed For Rabe.
24 March 2018
After watching Chalamet's impressive work in Call Me By Your Name, I watched Julia Hart's Miss Stevens and I got to say; I was not disappointed.
Chalamet once again shows range that of an actor beyond his years. His portrayal of a teenager with mental illness is perfect, with just enough maturity and youthful energy to the role. Timothée Chalamet understands what it means to be an actor, he slips away into the character of Billy, making Timothée's performance memorable.
Now, I watched Miss Stevens knowing nothing about Lily Rabe. I discovered her skill as an actress is perhaps just as excellent as Natalie Portman's or Amy Adams. She taps into this very realistic depiction of a young teacher that she depicts with such subtlety; she can break your heart, rebuild it and do it all over again. I frankly find it hard to believe Rabe isn't up with the great actresses of today!
Overall, Miss Stevens is not a masterpiece, but it's performances make it sure seem like it. This is the kind of movie you can watch and always be surprised. I can't wait to see more of Chalamet and Rabe.
