Graves Audience Reviews

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
roadcrankr They basically created an incarnation of Trump on the liberal's side. At least somebody they wish that would pull his same stunts in their favor.Not really sure this contains spoilers. Only got through three episodes to post this review. Slightly amazed about the lack of reviews. The show carries a clear message about what they consider good and evil. If you want to be on the side of good, act cool by smoking pot, hanging with young people, play an impromptu guitar on stage, endorse defense cuts, and invite illegals to live on your property.Slick, nice-looking production. Sela Ward is beautiful and solid, as always, but in a straight role. Nick Nolte is not really funny or very endearing. Reminds me of his turn in 48 Hours as a grumpy, sloppy cop. Getting kneed in the groin made me laugh a little, in particular because it keenly - and not intentionally - captured the intolerant traits of liberals.In my opinion, Portlandia and Veep pull off biting satire far better, without clunking you over the head with their agenda. Four out of ten based on Sela, some cool cameos, top notch production, and some random destructiveness.
jpileggi-1 Anything with Sela Ward gets a 10, and then you work backwards.Nick Nolte has become a caricature of himself and the days of "Affliction" are long, long gone. Think of Bill Maher writing a series of acts of contrition for George W. Bush, spend no time editing them or inserting irony and wit, and you have "Graves". The stereotypical characters, including the cameos of "real life" politicians, make you embarrassed to watch, and if you are looking for some nexus or meaningful connection to the current election campaign, do not hold your breathe.Hard to figure out why it was not so much better. A group of professionals phoned it in.
mightycat-41020 My husband & I really enjoyed Graves. I was reading some negative reviews & all I can say is "lighten up people!" Whether you are a liberal or a conservative, you have to admit this is funny...IF you can lighten up enough. It is just a SHOW...a TV SHOW...from what I could tell it seemed to be not going at any one president in particular, but at several combined. Only thing that saddens me is obviously the wife is maybe being portrayed as Hillary....since she is after her own political title. The lady playing the former first lady is much prettier & kinder than what I portray Hillary to be. Ha!! Just my opinion. ;) Again, keep the laughs coming!! Can't wait for the next episode!
EZ123 If Graves were a one-man show starring Nick Nolte it might be okay; Nolte's demeanor and delivery are, perhaps, not so much entertaining as fascinating. Unfortunately, the rest of this dud acts an albatross around Nolte's neck. A ridiculous plot and tortured writing combine with an amateurish cast who have the acting chops of a community theater troupe. The show ultimately tries to bank on the novelty of a revolving door of cameos by also-ran, real-life politicians like Michael Steele and Rudy Giuliani who deliver their lines - no matter what those lines are - with permanent rictus grins etched into their faces. They are apparently just so delighted to have been asked to appear on an Epix TV serial that they can't stop smiling and the show's producers don't care enough to ask them to desist.
