Raye Shows '22

Rating Guide

This venue features a casual selection of shows and industry names that residents considered rating. Being listed is not a recommendation in itself. Shows and names that advance the cabbalist or another underhanded agenda are not usually considered. With exceptions, these include most of the larger productions and promoted names, especially from the US and from recent decades, which Raye-Shows recommends avoiding or, at least, not financing.
The maximum rating score is 10 and the minimum is -5, as the rating (upper bar) and the rating (mid bar) range from 0 to 5, and the rating (lower bar) ranges from Yes (blank) to -5.

❮

The "" rating may reflect the absence (blank rating) or presence (negative rating) of an agenda for misrepresenting current or historical reality, for culture or science appropriation, for nation-undermining, miscegenation and race-denying, feminism, egalitarianism, religious submission, tribalism and self-entitlement, and for other subversive aspects of that sort, whether intentional or perpetuated. The rating does not reflect intellectual debates or activism that are transparent and honest (factual or statedly hypothetical), and neither the veracity of technological or comic depictions in fictional work, unless such aspects are exaggerated beyond the limit of maintaining viewing interest.

Corner Office

Lead: Jon Hamm
Director: Joachim Back • Writers: T. Kupper, J. Karlsson • Production: Tilt 9 Entertainment & others • PG-13

Reviews

I found this movie fresh and enjoyable, despite its limited settings and introspective nature. Perhaps because it's rare to find a thought-provoking piece these days. It strikes a fine balance between the witty comic, the absurd, and our human side with its inherently subjective mindset. Great writing and well put together.

The Northman

Lead: Alexander Skarsgard, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang
Director: Robert Eggers • Writers: Sjon, R. Eggers • Production: New Regency, Universal, Focus Features • R

Reviews

Another creative show from the talented Robert Eggers, and one that employs a number of top stars. Skarsgard is magnetic and simply awesome as the lead Viking, the story is well-rounded, with imaginative inserts, and the settings are great. Unfortunately, the movierides on the industry stereotypes of the Viking people being magnificent in action and all raw otherwise (and we know that these stereotypes are edutainment). One would hope for a more genuine balance between the lyrical side and that sheer force of nature here, akin to Viking rock, perhaps. With that factor aside, this is filmmaking at its best.
