The White Lotus

A bit like Carry On Holiday, but this movie has a quality, satirical script, characters full of character and a semi-mystery plot that has you trying to guess who is going to kick the bucket. Mike White does an excellent job of capturing the imperfections of contemporary society. Aggrieved prima donas with too much money reveal what is important for today’s world and against this the lower classes are just trying to get by, giving birth at work, pretending to be something they aren’t and stealing. Every single acting performances are splendid, but the very best comes from Murray Bartlett as the hotel director, intoxicated by his guests. A great miniseries highlighting the failings of the contemporary world. (31/03/2022)

A tv series that definitely catches your interest. We watch a plethora of insufferable guests, the worst characters imaginable, who compete to be the most hateful and the most deserving of a beating. But strangely, this group grabs you and doesn’t let you go. The story forces you to follow its plot, and I'm glad to say that the characters themselves don't remain at the point of stagnation. Outstanding acting performances especially by M. Bartlett and J. Coolidge, absolutely brilliant and atmospheric music that perfectly accompanies almost every scene, and I must praise the editing too. And that makes it a very successful miniseries. (20/08/2021)
