‘Sharp Objects’
There was once a time when Jean-Marc Vallée (R.I.P.) ruled HBO. After the success of Big Little Lies, Vallée adapted Sharp Objects, the mystery novel from author Gillian Flynn. The limited series follows Camille (Amy Adams), a journalist who returns to her hometown to investigate a series of mysterious crimes. The eight episode limited series is a rare case of an adaptation being as good as the source material. In honor of the release of Apple TV’s Cape Fear, do yourself a favor and watch Adam’s brilliant performance that was robbed the actress of an Emmy. Vallée’s last directorial effort is a fascinating portrayal of a woman’s troubling confrontation with her past, and it doesn’t hurt that it’s an intoxicating series to binge!
