A promising start. Amy Adams is really great and the story seems interesting enough. This episode was a little slow so I hope they pick up the pace some.
Raw, cloying and close. I felt drunk watching this and not just from the excessive amounts of alcohol consumed by the characters. Amy is fantastic as always, what a treat to get her level of screen presence spread across a TV series instead of the short time a film provides. Wondering where this will all lead.
Amy Adams was fantastic this first episode, I also really dug the whole small town atmosphere and damn, that final scene was disturbing.
less family drama, more murder mystery please.
Glad they ditched the easy voice-over path and went for visual clues path that's sometimes harder to convey on screen. That being said, Jean Marc Vallée did a great job at it, incorporating her childhood memories so vividly into the present in a way that clearly affects Camille a lot.
Two special things I loved about this pilot: how they turned the town into a character right from the beginning and the subtle words here and there (!!)
Overall I hope they continue to stay truthful to the book.
Led Zeppelin in the soundtrack OH YEAH
Off to a good start. It's almost like watching Julie and Julia again with Amy Adams and Chris Messina. Except this is a darker version.
I'm not sure what to make of this right now. This first episode was bizarre. A hazy kaleidoscope of unwanted memories and past trauma blurred with a lethargic present day investigation, if you can call it that at this point.
The characters are very strange, nobody acts like a normal person. That adds greatly to the atmosphere but makes this a very unwelcoming watch. Amy Adam's gives a fantastic performance from the start.
However, my main question right now is how far into Led Zeppelin's discography Camille is going to get.
Great first episode of this mini-series. I haven't read the book so the story is completely new to me, which is great, because it's looks very promising. I also like the look and feel if the show. Definitely very HBO-esque.
Took me so long to figure out that Amma and Marian aren't the same people. I was convinced she was imagining an older version of Marian (aka Amma) roaming around the house. Pft.
ill give it another 1-2 episodes but i tend to drop it.
It is not known which is more oppressive, the people, their memories or their problems. The south and murders, for now we will continue
Sooo I definitely regret watching this at night.
