Touches You

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

The change in scenery between the 1st and 2nd season worked really well. Both season are different, but both are really good. I loved the acting, the story and the subtle (sometimes absurd) humor. The series handles some big taboos and things are not too predictable and mainstream and that's a big plus.

I'm talking about season 2 here , it's so bad it cant be serious ? The terrible acting is quite funny , is it a comedy ? I hope that was the intention of the writers ? The exaggerated stereotypes ,it's ridiculous , they are like pantomime characters.

Jane Campion, Elisabeth Moss, Gwendoline Christie _and_ Nicole Kidman in season 2 of Top of the Lake of which season 1 was great. What could possibly go wrong?Well... everything.If you enjoy yelling at your TV "Why don't you do anything?" please go ahead. Maybe Jane Campion can chime in and explain why no one intervenes when the daughter continues to make one bad decision after another for no apparent reason but to irritate the audience. There is no explanation, no character development, no apparant reason why no one locks the daughter in her bedroom and throws away the keys or why the villian isn't arrested and put in to jail after assaulting the police and, spoiler alert, whoring the daughter. In the end everything just becomes laughably bad and you don't care about any of the characters anymore.

*Spoiler alert* I was skeptical when Peter Mullan wasn't in season 2..absolutely love that guy, one of the greats if you ask me. But I was not disappointed with this season, Elisabeth Moss is better here, Ewen Leslie is spectacular in his role..Kidman, not so much..but that's the role she's been given...all in all; the emotions that resonate throughout this season are raw and deep!!! Love it!
