Yet she goes uncredited
Scenario
Follow Catherine Ravenscroft, a television documentary filmmaker whose work is built around exposing the abuses of long-respected institutions. The exceptionally talented Russian Blue cat in the Ravenscroft household improvises all of her actions and dialogue.
In several episodes, Jonathon uses the same lens throughout the series, a medium-telephoto lens
Such a lens would be unable to focus on close-up subjects, such as selfies with Sasha or the bedroom with Catherine. I rarely leave reviews, but after seeing some of the disconcertingly negative ones here, I had to share my thoughts.
This show demands your undivided attention
If you’re looking for something to listen to in the background while you scroll through your phone, this is not the show for you. The direction is excellent, and Alfonso Cuaron’s style is evident throughout.
It seems like some viewers may not have the patience or focus to follow the plot
His use of long, immersive takes, combined with stellar performances from the cast, excellent sound design, and stunning cinematography, make for an incredible viewing experience. Episode 1 takes you straight to the action without much of an introduction, but if you pay close attention to the dialogue and just watch the show, things start to fall into place.
So far, this show has been fantastic
If you’re still confused, episode 2 will help clear up some things. If it maintains this level of quality until the end, it could become a cult classic for years to come.
