I really enjoyed the series of Anne+ and the movie has a very similar style, content and humour. Anne feels very relatable, the acting is good and I laughed out loud quite a few times. It shows sexuality in a very natural way and discusses generational differences on certain topics as gender identity. Al in all, I really enjoyed this movie!
Let me start by saying I am probably not the target audience as a non-American woman in her early 30s. I was expecting some mediocre teen drama as Netflix is getting (in)famous for, but this show is a lot better than the average show on this streaming service. Although I am expecting a lot of backlash on this series because it deals with racism and the cast is very diverse, I don't think that's fair.
The characters seem very realistic and the issues that are portrayed seem in touch with what it is like to be a teenager right now. Some topics are handled a bit too superficially, but I guess we can't have it all. Hopefully Netflix gives us a second season to answer some of the questions left after the finale.

As I'm not from the US, this story was completely unknown to me. However, it has been in the top 10 viewed on Netflix in the Netherlands for a few days now, so I decided to give it a go.
The fact that there is so much footage to piece together their lives in the last few days is mind-boggling to me, but this makes the documentary interesting to watch as well since everything is real and not subjective from interviews with relatives or something. Shanann didn't come off as very likable to me, although this of course does not excuse Chris' behaviour in any way. I'm curious if he never gave a better explanation for why he did what he did. Ending the documentary by saying it's mostly men who harm their families is a bit too easy, I had a feeling that his girlfriend was not as innocent as she was portrayed.
All in all an interesting watch, but I feel bits and pieces are missing whether this is done on purpose or because simply not everything can be known about peoples lives unless you're living them.
