Uma is a chaos gremlin. Newly married to Gopal, she can't cook, won't socialize, swears her head off and bounces off the walls like she's coming down off something dodgy.

She's difficult, rude, and demanding with a overdeveloped, juvenile need to meet her own vaguely understood desires.

And then she gets sick and her whole world gets turned upside down and we follow her POV like she is the pied piper and we're stuck in a washing machine with her.

I loved this movie. I gave myself up to how surprising it was and how unafraid it was in examining female desire & dissatisfaction. The female gaze is scorching in this film and revels in subverting narrative norms. I had no idea how things were going to unfold which made it slightly unnerving. Anarchy follows our anti-heroine and there is delight to be had in the chaos that ensues.

If you can embrace the satire, humor and sheer weirdness of Midnight Sister you're in for a unique ride.

A well deserved 10/10.

I've been reading the mostly negative reviews from my fellow reviewers on this movie and I'm going to go out on a limb here and disagree. It's a lighthearted romcom that does its job. Boy dog meets girl dog, boy meets girl, they go to rich girl's game night with her rich annoying friends and mayhem ensues.

There's nudity, loving the new focus on male bodies by the way, makes a change from the endless undressed females, there's sport, bromance, physical danger, birds and an endless skewering of the modern diseases of social media, texting, disconnection and loneliness. Then throw in breast milk, tigers and a bit of neurodivergence and you have the delight of this film. I thought it was hilarious.

Beautifully crafted series about human relationships, the corrosion of loneliness and the critical role of open communication.

FL is a 32 year old office worker who is also a virgin. As life flows by she realises that if she doesn't create a circumstance to try and experience closeness she might miss her chance. Enter the ML, a shy copier service worker who hides behind his hair and mask. She takes a chance, they chat and bond over retro video games. Unknown to her, he has regrets and sadness in his life that diminish his ability to be open but both parties keep trying and the series is well resolved.

The show tackles other secondary stories of insecurity, burn out and regret but the main themes persist. Surround yourself with good people and never stop talking with kindness.

Try to get past the terrible title that implies someone will get screwed over - that neither happens or is implied. Great show, loved it 👏
