Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

ags-97481 This was one of the best interpretations of a written book I've watched in a long time. The writers portrayed each character perfectly. Having met at summer camp the episode takes you from the present to the past continually. You get only a glimpse of the depth and emotional availability of each character through the extremely well cast actors. The actors showed the humor and vulnerability in each person. A testament to the writers ability transform the written word! A very realistic portrayal of the angst of teens and their connections to each other as they journey into adulthood! This would be a series many would want to binge watch! Myself included! Hoping to see more!!!!

maziemorgan Wow, I was such a fan of the Meg Wolitzer book and this pilot does not disappoint!! I have been excited to see this for a while! This is the story of childhood friends from an elite arts camp (the "Interestings"), who form loving, complicated, lifelong bonds. Pitch-perfect casting with great chemistry between the actors - Lauren Ambrose in particular is so stellar as well as David Krumholtz. There is a wonderful, effortless way of moving between the various time periods in the story and highlighting how the best-laid plans of youth go awry (sometimes) in our older years; and overall top-notch filmmaking that really creates its own world and tone. The story is funny, heartwarming and very human. The lead character of "Julie" (Lauren Ambrose) is both flawed and wonderful and watching her navigate the rarefied world of her friends and all the ensuing envy AND emotional growth is extremely compelling. There is truly something here for everyone.Please Amazon, make the rest of the season! :)

Dashiell gibbs This show just spoke to me on so many levels. It was the camp life I never had, the tight knit group I never really found in high school, the heady hubris filled conversations I longed to have but didn't. I eventually found a similar group in a different manner but SO recognized the archetypes and identified in such a profound way..with the hope, the sense of nostalgia, the sense of envy and the inevitable sense of loss....the gorgeous, nut somewhat melancholy pilot had more lows than highs but am supposing this will vary week to week as life does. most importantly it all felt grounded and Emotionally resonant. Great directing. Great acting. A class act. And the kind of show I have been missing for a while. Where have Ellen the great emotionally fraught but realistic dramas gone? I hope to Amazon!!

ldgordon99-1 the initial episode of the Interestings based on the novel by Meg Wolitzer is an intriguing opening to a drama full of compelling characters with stories of their own to tell. time moves fluidly between the distant past, the present and the time in-between. one show and I'm hooked! can't wait for the next episode! the characters' youthful dreams cast long shadows over the lives yet to unfold. the perfect idealism and narcissism of youth set the stage from the distant past. do the youthful musings foreshadow events yet to come? the script is gripping. a must see! Kudos to screen writers Lynnie Greene and Richard Levine! Bravo!
