I had high expectations for this. Not that I would think it will be a masterpiece, but I thought for sure that this will be a movie I will enjoy. It has won a lot of awards and it is written and directed by the same guy who has written and directed "Black".
But I was disappointed. The characters were flakey and rather unlikable in the beginning. And even though I enjoy the music in these films, there was too much of it in this one. There was more focus on it than it usually is. Because of this there wasn't really much story. It got better towards the end, but I don't think this will be a movie that I can watch again and again.

"Being Erica" is a great series, which I can definately recommend. Also the final episode is a good conclusion to this series.
The last season on the other hand has disappointed me somewhat. Not that it doesn't have good episodes. It does. But the last episode of the previous season promised a specific direction that the series will take, but in my opinion it did not live up to it.
