A movie about nothing
Heavy narration in the first couple minutes, which then disappears
Why did Maxime...(SPOILERS)
A mess
Why would lesbians be interested in...[SPOILER, NSFW]
Can anyone explain the naked woman at the end?
Only fifteen years in the past!
Candy Clark weird casting for the stepmom (too old)
This started so strong and then became increasingly ludicrous and melodramatic
Did the UK government in the film have any real choice other than to strongly restrict immigration?

He was bad in a scene near the end crying about his brother's murder. It seems he's a great actor in most respects but at least circa 1998, his "cry acting" needed work.
It was kind of weird, and didn't quite make sense as you lay out quite well. All part of how unfortunately the final part of this movie (after the prison flashbacks are over) is a lot weaker than what came earlier.
I don't need to have the "courage" to say I lied about Trump, because I didn't lie about him. You have yet to demonstrate any "lie". (Using the word "bleach" instead of "disinfectant" is not a lie, because bleach is the most commonly used type of disinfectant.) I have on the other hand shown how delusional you are about the man (I don't know if it's a lie because I think you are just out of touch with reality).
I have acknowledged how deeply flawed Biden is. The majority of other Democratic politicians, and even a few Republicans (like Joe Biden) would be preferable to him in the Oval Office, although he's certainly a better choice than Trump, who is manifestly unfit for office.
But you can't acknowledge any problems with Trump. It's idol worship and truly pathetic.
I thought the same thing! He's a great actor, very dedicated to his craft, in most respects--but his "crying acting" as you aptly call it needs work--or at least it did circa 1998.
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."
"The only way you can criticise Trump is to lie about what he said"
Hahahaha, because right, there's nothing Trump actually said that bears criticism. I suppose you either defend all of these, or claim they are false:
"I’m an extremely stable genius. OK?"
"As you know the last eight years, they [Obama administration] borrowed more than it did in the whole history of our country. So they borrowed more than $10 trillion, right? And yet, we picked up $5.2 trillion just in the stock market. Possibly picked up the whole thing in terms of the first nine months, in terms of value. So you could say, in one sense, we’re really increasing values. And maybe in a sense we’re reducing debt." (Narrator: In no sense were they reducing debt.)
Oh, whatever, disinfectant. Of which bleach is the most common kind in most households. The point was about whether Trump is a nincompoop who blundered his way through the pandemic. The answer is that he is and did.
The real bullshit is claiming Trump didn't suggest "using ultraviolet light and bleach 'inside the body' to fight Covid", when we all saw him do it (while Deborah Birx cringed out of her shoes).

If you don't claim it's a deepfake (and that Birx is lying about how uncomfortable she was: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/birx-trumps-disinfectant-injection-moment-day/story?id=76474960), then you are just desperately denying the obvious truth because you don't want it to be true about your hero. It would be like me denying that Biden is going senile, when he quite obviously is (but I'll still vote for him anyway). Some of us stay in touch with reality even when it might tarnish our chosen political leaders.
Hard disagree. I found it excellent.
No, it's clearly designed as a limited series. Even if it had been some kind of massive sensation and the executives wanted to make a second season (as with "Big Little Lies"), I'm not sure how they would do it.
