The Unknown Girl (2016)


'She doesn't care. She's dead' 'If she was dead, she wouldn't be in our heads'

IMDb Plot Summary: A woman gets obsessed with the case of a dead woman after learning that the woman had died shortly after having rung her door for help.

This story is about a talented young doctor who loves and is loved by her patients. Tragedy strikes when one day, a pair of detectives come to her doorstep and inform her that a girl has been murdered and that the girl had rung her doorbell just moments before her death, a call which she hadn't answered because it was too late in the night. This fills her with guilt blaming herself for the girl's death as she feels she would have saved the girl if only she had answered the door at the time. Finding her mind to be at extreme unease without knowing who the girl was and what happened to her and how she is connected in all this, she sets out to find answers on her own, endangering herself in the process.

This is an extremely well made movie. I had watched the movie 'Love at First Fight' yesterday and I had immediately fallen in love with the actress Adele Haenel, so much so that I just had to pick up another movie that starred her. And she totally kills it in this movie.

Except some problems with the plot, this movie is near perfect. While the story progression is simple, its made in a way that you won't feel the movie being stretched out at any point in time, party due to the amazing actor by Adele, and her co stars. And the way this movie ends is just brilliant, letting you decide answers for yourself. I cannot say anymore as that will only ruin the brilliance of this film.

Another amazing foreign film. An IMDb 9/10.

Atypical (2017) 'Human behaviour is less like a chicken and more like an albatross. No matter how far an albatross flies, it always returns home. Unless it flies too close to the water and gets eaten by a tiger shark' IMDb Plot Summary: Sam, an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum, decides it's time to find a girlfriend, a journey that sets Sam's mom on her own life-changing path as her son seeks more independence. I am a big fan of Apatow's Freaks and Geeks and when I came to know that a new teenage comedy had come out, I had to, at the very least, check it out. I hated Netflix's last attempt at a teenage show (13 Reasons Why) and hence I was very sceptical about this one. But in the end, Atypical turned out to a be pleasant surprise! This show is about an 18 year old kid in the autism spectrum and how he deals with his daily life, friends and family and most importantly, his quest to find himself a girlfriend. Alongside, we see the lives of his

Narcos (2015) 'To kill a monster, sometimes, you have to get in bed with other monsters. If that surprises you, pick up a history book. Its what we do; the enemy of my enemy is my friend' IMDb Plot Summary:  A chronicled look at the criminal exploits of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, as well as the many other drug kingpins who plagued the country through the years. The first two seasons of this genius TV show was about the drug lord Pablo Escobar. Now everyone knows about Pablo and so the fact that he dies at the end of it all should come as no surprise to anyone. And since the first two seasons were solely focused on Escobar and his empire and everything that surrounded his reign, with his death, we all decided without even giving it a second thought that this amazing TV show had come to an end. And today I browse the internet to find Narcos has hit us all with another season! This time focusing on the Cali cartel that grew while everyone was focused on Pab

Love at First Fight (2014) 'The army is hard up. It is the number one recruiter in France' 'Number two. The first is McDonald's' IMDb Plot Summary:  Between his friends and the family business, Arnaud's summer looks set to be a peaceful one. Peaceful until he runs into Madeleine, as beautiful as she is brusque, a concrete block of tensed muscles and doomsday prophecies. He expects nothing; she prepares for the worst. He takes things as they come, likes a good laugh. She fights, runs, swims, pushes herself to the limit. Given she hasn't asked him for anything, just how far will he go along with her? It's a love story. Or a story of survival. Or both. This story is about a girl who believes that an apocalypse is on its way and she has to prepare for it, and the way to do that is by joining the hardest military regiment to learn how to survive in the harshest conditions. This story is also about a guy, who has a chance encounter with
