I initially thought the concept of using star scenes from various movies was brilliant. An opportunity to explore creative perspectives on the starry sky. Before watching, I imagined how the director would translate different contexts, like darkness or optimism and music to reflect the sign of the times, in a story. Unfortunately, the film disappointed me. At 2 hours and 10 minutes, it was mostly fragmented starry night scenes. The chopped up visuals and music, perhaps because of potential copyright claims, made it hard to watch. The film felt too long and lacked a strong central idea. In this form it's just starry night scenes from movies, nothing more than that.

I think Midsomer Murders is meant to be a kind of detective mixed with a comedy. In the previous seasons the balance between the two things we generally fine for me. Midsomer Murders used to have very good quest actors combined with very funny characters. Do you remember the "gay undertaker"? The quality of the writing and acting of this episode tilted towards the Rosemary and Thyme series. The direction Midsomer Murders seems to be going can be fine for some people, but for me this became unbelievable and too much of a farce. I hope the next season will be better.
