The Flatshare (2022)
1/10
shockingly simple
8 January 2023
One of the worst and most predicable shows with ridiculous characters (Justin). I can't believe this was even produced. While the premise seems interesting, the show completely de-evolves after episode one. The trailer consists of literally the 2 minutes of the show that it is actually interesting and has something to say. If this was what our cultural productions have come to, it is a sad statement of human thought and engagement. There is absolutely no critical thought contained in this show and even the visuals (which have elevated other works to at least aesthetically pleasing cinematic journeys) are mediocre at best.

typical hollywood brainless comedy that simplifies serious issues
21 April 2019
The film is a silly, ridiculous simplification of real concerns and important questions regarding questions about the foster system and family organization. In the mode of most brainless Hollywood comedies, the film simplifies and renders "digestible" problems that could have been addressed in a way that actually uncovers the issues with the foster care system and American expectations of family, culture, and achievement. Instead it even turns sexual "exploitation" at a high school into a joke. How do films like this are even produced in an age of "Me Too"?
