Pieces Of Her

[Vagus]

A Netflix recommendation.
Started watching it last night, got hooked and watched three episodes. It’s one season with eight episodes, worth a watch.

Is it set in the USA?

Watched it last week, Vagus. IMHO it began well and i was immediately intrigued. However, it was a bit anti-climactic. Still a decent enough watch and, again imho, Jessica Barden (who played the young Laura Oliver) was the best actress in the series.

[Ken4155]

It is set in America, Barry.

[Vagus]

Although set in America it was apparently mostly filmed on Australia.
Will stick with it Ken.

[Ken4155]

Wasn't trying to put you off, Vagus. As i said, a decent enough watch. I may have been expecting a tad too much from it:-)

[pat2604]

Thanks Ken. I rely on you for recommendations!! X

[Khandro]

The leading actress (mother) is actually Australian, Toni (something).
I thought it was confused, & drawn out, with different actors playing the same person jumping backwards & forwards in time.

I have a theory that most Netflix film directors are sniffing coke all day. But maybe I'm just easily confused.

[hellywelly4]

I enjoyed it and really didn’t see the twist at the end coming.

[Ken4155]

Khandro, Toni Colette is indeed an Aussie. As is the lass who plays her daughter, Belle Heathcote and David Wenham who played her brother Jasper.

[pat2604]

Sorry just realised Vagus was the op! Thanks Vagus.

[Khandro]

Perhaps you have to be Australian to follow the plot ken.

On the Australian theme and absolutely nothing to do with the OP, Mrs K. bought me a black V-neck pullover in 'Geelong wool', which is soft, thin & incredibly warm & luxurious, even better than cashmere. I wondered what it was, strange name, I've just now been looking it up & the wool comes from......yes -Australia!

If anyone wants to give a treat to someone (or even yourself) buy a Geelong pullover.

End of ad. :0)

Anything with Toni Colette in is worth a watch imho.

[Vagus]

Well, khandro, I haven’t found it at all confusing so far. Looking forward to another few episodes later :)

[Ken4155]

Haven't seen that much of her, to be honest, Patsy, but she was certainly very good in Unbelievable. And i have been meaning to watch Dream Horse in which she plays the trainer of a racehorse.

[Khandro]

She is a terrific actress, there's a part where she is telling a lies and looks uncomfortably as though she is doing so: acting a part of someone acting - not easy to do.

[Patsy33]

Unbelievable was very good, Ken. Toni is a first class actor.
Dream horse looks good. Will watch this when I can. My OH will be interested, as he likes a little flutter on the GGs.. :-)

[Ken4155]

I plan to watch a bit of racing this afternoon, but if it appears likely that my luck's not in, i may well watch Dream Horse instead. It would kill a couple of hours:-)

[Patsy33]

Ken, look out for a horse's name with Dream, in! :-))

[Ken4155]

Already looked and there are none. Which is a tad unusual.

[ladybirder]

I watched two episodes of Pieces of Her and I couldn't care less what happens to either of them so that's it finished for me.
