vineet p Jun 14 Something is very wrong with the other side of equator & it's nothing new, when something is different from them then it's cult, but still follow cheap copy of some middle eastern cult.

See more Wlander F 07/09/2024 Actors have quite well performance, story is good, theere are probably too many back and forth in time that sometimes are boring and makes watching quite uncomfortable. Also this could be a six episode miniseries. Overall very good production, the disclosure of the the reason and motivation of each character will come mainly in the final third of the show. See more Stephen H 06/24/2024 I found this to be intentionally confusing and frustrating. I can do non-linear i…but this film made little attempt to mark time changes that would carry the viewer along . I stayed until the end but for me there was very little reward. See more Marlene P 01/19/2024 The actors are superb but the story was a little long in the tooth. See more Dan R 09/23/2023 The eerie thriller which is 'The Clearing' recently dropped onto Disney+. SYNOPSIS: 'A woman must face the demons from her past in order to stop the kidnapping and coercion of innocent children in the future.' 'The Clearing' feels immeasurably uncomfortable at times with its underlining story of child abduction and brain washing. The writers recognise that cults thrive on complicity, not raw domination and how traumatised people find themselves drawn to very dangerous people. The show is dark and moody, and its Australian setting adds something very different to the story. However, it doesn't have the atmospheric wow factor of 'The Gloaming' (an Australian Disney/Hulu series I've reviewed in the past), which also crossed over into the world of cults and religious sects. It's also difficult to follow at times as the story jumps around in time. All it needed was an onscreen note of the date to resolve this problem. Otherwise though it's a really enjoyable, yet challenging, watch. 7/10 See more Read all reviews
