[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm two years younger than Nicole Kidman.

When is she going to start playing the grandmother instead of the mother of elementary school aged children?

That role was starting to slip away for her in [i]The Others[/i] (2001) when she was already 34 years old.

And then she played the same role in [i]Big Little Lies[/i] (2017-2019) when she was 50 years old.

This isn't sexism, but realism. I don't know why she's doing this to herself. She's not her exDH Tom Cruise.[/quote]

But did you like Expats?[/quote]

I would have liked it better with younger actresses. And again, I am a woman. I didn't read the book The Expats.

The premise is very interesting enough. I actually don't like the focus on her. I don't like her character at all. I don't like how she got a smaller apartment to be away from her children. I wondered what she was doing scrubbing the floor and taking a bath in that plastic bath tub. And then I don't like how the two women in their 50s are supposed to be reminiscing about karaoke contests and dancing and how much fun they used to have, not in their 20s, but like, last year. LoL.

I also didn't like the storyline about the younger Asian American woman who did a negligent thing and wants to understand why.

The plot is like[i] Downton Abbey[/i] with wealthy and servants class meets the film [i]The Deep End of the Ocean[/i] about a missing child. [/quote]
