What are the different options?
Oh no, it LOOKS like there's two options, but the blurb is the same. Stupid netflix!

ETA. Never mind. I misread your post and thought there were two different opinions, not two different options. I was going to say there should only be one opinion on the film, namely that it is the dog's bollocks.

Snowpiercer is fun, but flawed.
I am certain there must have been a longer cut.

Anyone watched Flint Town? Stunning examination of deindustrialisation and an American city. Class, race, justice issues all central but the core theme is the abandonment of these areas by the state. Nightmarish stuff and a compelling watch

It felt long enough to me. Not necessarily overlong, but any longer might have felt it was dragging the story along a bit.

This is an ‘avoid’ suggestion rather than a recommendation. I’d suggest giving ‘I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House’ a wide miss. It’s not terrible and the premise is good, but it quickly becomes apparent that the writers ran out of steam half way and set on filling up the rest of the film’s running time with long, slow moving arty shots. No surprises, twists, scary moments or tension delivered, which is a tad disappointing for a horror film.

Yes, I see this frequently - 2 pictures for the same show/film

I reviewed it last year for my brother: The Domestics: Mad Max/Warriors larks; good soundtrack
I had mixed feelings about this film. It SHOULD have been great, but like you say, kinda ran out of steam. Shame that.
I wonder why?
Cheers - stuck it on my list

Netflix is very much a data driven company, everyone's Netflix front page is different depending on what it thinks you will like. There are a load of different pictures for most popular programs/films and it shows you the one it thinks will be most applicable, I would imagine that the algorithm changes depending on what section you are in as well, hence the different pictures.

I assumed...A/B testing different images. It also makes their range seem larger!
Thanks. Had no idea about it looking different for everyone!

That's why every thumbnail has a thumbs up and a thumbs down. You make it show things you're (maybe) interested in and not show things you're not interested in.
Use the thumbs.

There was, I recall John Hurt complaining about the producers butchering it for theatrical release.
e2a: The producer in question was a certain Harvey Weinstein.

La Noche De 12 Años AKA A Twelve Year Night
Three Tupamaro leaders are captured, tortured and then imprisoned in a regularly-changing series of dungeons, held as hostages for more than a decade by Uruguay's military dictatorship as insurance against a crippled leftist movement. Necessarily pulling together based-on-real-life anecdotes, somehow it does manage to give most prison drama tropes a swerve, and the fractured structure suits the mind-bending nature of the protagonists' predicament.

Thanks for the heads up re BS.
Has anyone seen Wandering Earth? I thought it was going to be good but friends have said it's a bit shit.

Customising of what you see/what is recommended is part of the business model. Reporting of race profiling by Netfix has been around for years, e.g.
