Lara —  6/10

An intense drama about chickens coming to roost. Sure, it’s also about talents and parents trying to shape their kids, but on the face value you’re mostly seeing an unlikeable person experiencing the consequences. Some other people are not very pleasant either, while the rest are unremarkable boring commoners. Reviewers praise great acting, which must be simple when your character simply shuts off under stress. Well, don’t be like Lara.
