The ways Leighton Meester and Blake Lively’s careers developed post GG provide such an interesting look into how family background and privilege impact the opportunities you have and your abilities to “play the game” to advance. Blake comes from a Hollywood family, made A list friends and married RR as he was on his way up. Leighton grew up in an abuse family environment and was dealing with a lot of legal issue related to her family. To my knowledge, she didn’t try to befriend/date celebrities “more famous” than her to advance her professional or social standing. Both people seem genuinely hard working. This isn’t a critique of Blake either because there’s nothing wrong with using the opportunities you have to your advantage. I’m happy to see Leighton in more projects and hope she continues to find success in her own way!
True but Keanu reeves didn't have it easy neither did the actor who played iron man but Leighton is doing well she doesn't have to be ultra famous she just wants a more settled lifestyle do her movies and keep going she probably wants a more private life fame isn't everything Leighton is recognizable as an actress that's all that matters.
Blake is honestly such a bad actress. She just became a fashionista and the wife of RR, the couple is pushed by Jimmy Fallon and the other media outlets hyping their "iconic" marriage although neither of them is outstanding at anything. Leighton carried GG and her character is iconic.
The “no make up” look Leighton has in this film (which I’m sure is in fact very effectively done make up) works really well against the backdrop of glitz and glamour. Certainly looks worth wasting a weekend on!
I'll be watching this movie just for Leighton, lol. I always look forward to anything that she acts in; her portrayal of Blair made me a permanent fan, haha. I hope this movie will be good!
I love her as Blair, she does good in anything she acts in, good or bad movie or tv shows. I love her in Monte Carlo too, he’s smiles and her character portrayal in that is breathtaking.
As a Croatian I can’t wait to watch this to see how the country and it’s people have been portrayed in this movie. Haha On the other hand can’t wait to watch Leighton again as well. She’s a very underrated actress.
so true. they both have a youthful look about them too ... like i think JM is in her 60s now! and LM could still play a teenager with the right makeup. beautiful ladies.
Happy to see this! Will continue waiting for the day Leighton is cast in an amazing series worthy of her talent. Hands down the best actor on GG. She made a very sympathetic, fan favourite character out of a character that wouldn’t have been otherwise. I use to be a massive GG fan and Leighton stan and although I haven’t kept up with her the past few years, I will always be a fan and have a soft spot for her because I know from having followed her so closely for many years that she is a very genuine, sweet person (fun fact: she’s also besties with Claire from Lizzie McGuire and Aly & AJ 🤪). She’d be so good in a FNL type show. Just raw, emotional acting. ❤️
Location and story looks good at the start. Had typical "Hollywood" feel to it by the middle of this. Might be good, but the overdone dramatic music...😅Love the location, beautiful!
Watched it already came back here to say it was good, the actress is so perfect for the role. So many twist and did not expect the ending. Thanks Netflix
i have been watching leighton for years and i always loved her acting!! the only thing i was upset was her being underrated but i'm glad to see her in a netflix movie
All praise goes to Leighton and her natural acting. We want only to hug her. The faithful wife acting was the best one ever. Everyone would like to have a wife like her 😊👍
This movie was AMAZING! I'm so impressed by Leighton's performance! Twists and turns all the way through the movie, it was amazing! Only thing I wish is that they had Zain meet Beth at the park indicating he met her like he said so the movie ended with him comforting her while her baby was in her arms. Other than that it was perfect!
@@whatevermynameis2852 Normally these women get hooked up with drug dealers that try to get them to smuggle drugs into Europe and Asia. Sometimes women go missing or their killed, and their friends are blamed for it There's a series called (locked up abroad) that highlights these stories.
No it's not?? This is a made up story. Murders that happens to tourists are awful but in the grand scheme of the tourist industry, rare. Really depends on so many different factors. Weird thing to blurt out
Me too she's so underrated as an actress....how she played Blair was amazing!!She deserves more opportunities!!plus she's a nice human being in real life!!
Leighton is BACK!!! NETFLIX CAST LEIGHTON IN THE NEW SEASON OF YOU. WE NEED TO SEE PENN BADGLEY AND LEIGHTON MEESTER ON SCREEN TOGETHER AGAIN!! Give us a rom-com!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the recommendation. Everyone is talking about her stellar performance in Gossip Girl, but I also loved her acting and singing in Country Strong.
I thought it’s a really good movie. Was engaged from start to finish and very well acted by the lead actress and the whole cast indeed. At least it feels like a probably made movie with actual effort and pride put in to give viewers a treat, and not some crappy movie made for the sake of being just another boring/generic Netflix movie. A solid 7.5 for me, definitely worth watching.
i hate thrillers but i will watch for leighton. my only frustration is that she's one of our greatest comedic performers and i'm sad we don't get to see that humor, but hopefully this will get her involved in even more projects!
So crazy to see Split in the movie when I’m just about to move back for the summer. Don’t get it twisted though, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, and the nicest most genuine people you’ll ever meet. Can’t wait to be back! Hajduk!
Tell me this movie is over a decade old and sat on the shelves and is just now being released. There is no freaking way Leighton Meester looks EXACTLY the same as when she was playing a high school-college student. No freaking way. I’m not even just being nice. I mean it literally, in the original sense of the word. She looks like she hasn’t aged. I’ll give a kidney to find out what she uses for her skincare.
It's not unbelievable at all and quite common for people to look the same 10 years later. Sunscreen though. Sun is the main aging factor, and sugar... cigarettes... etc.
I'm 26 and I haven't aged since I was 15. No skincare, I just don't age. Many people call me lucky and are envious but I just find it incredibly disturbing haha like, do I actually have an un-diagnosed condition? At what point do I start to age again? I'm always cautious of men dating me because I'm paranoid they're secret pedophiles and are only with me because I look like a teenager. I've often searched for a skin cream that can START ageing but no such thing exists for ones like us. I'm often told it's because I live in England and I hardly ever go out in the sun or get tanned so that contributes but come on, 11 whole years? Some people just have the gene I guess.
This one of the best movie I seen so far this year. It has a lot of twist and you also made yourself doubt about all the characters like you asking if you can trust this person or not. worth to watch.
I don't get the negative reviews! It was a really good thriller. The plot twist was great, the pace was fine. Loved Leighton Meester as she delivered stellar performance like she always does! Also it gives you a peek into Croatia's scenic views and vistas!
I only watched this movie because of leighton. I loved her in Country Strong. Her acting is what made me actually enjoy the movie more. In this movie she did AMAZING!!! And the movie was good. She definitely needs more roles.
Haven’t seen it yet, but from the trailer it’s making me think of the Amanda Knox case - where Amanda was (imo) very unfairly maligned and targeted as suspect in her friend’s murder while they were living abroad in Italy.
The movie looks fun, but it's funny to think this would happen in Croatia, maybe Montenegro but there aren't enough scenic small town views for filming there.
I live in Split, and there is a lot of organized crime (drug dealers , dept collectors with interest) and rich people who laundry money but Split is generally safe city in terms of it's rare to get raped or killed in the middle of night if u are going alone, or Croatia in general.
Always found it so unfair that she didn’t become MASSIVE after her amazing performance as Blair on Gossip Girl, like she literally CARRIED the show on her back and then her career seemed to taper off after it ended. Fingers crossed this helps her get back on top
I absolutely love her but I think she also lied low because of her family.
So true!!! I loved her on Gossip Girl!
@@NinaC what's with her family?
@@oube4546 abusive mom, had to take care of her brothers

Leighton Meester is such a good actress. She never try hard or exaggerate, her acting comes naturally.

Omg last thing I say her is was Monte Carlo with Selena Gomez. I remember when she sang with cobra starship.

@@crunchipscrust they both are but Lehighton wanted a more private life there is nothing wrong with that
@@janderson947 Agreed. Leighton could be 10x more satisfied in life than Blake and we would have no idea. People really think that fame is everything…
I'm ready for Leighton's world domination. Really excited about this movie, and I hope we'll get more and more projects with her in the future!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Well, it hasn't happened for the last 15 years, but hey, you keep believing!
N0p 90y
Straight up! I just started rewatching the original Gossip Girl. Leighton is top tier.
World domination……that’s hilarious. She ain’t did shit since gossip girl and that trashy college roommate movie
The “no make up” look Leighton has in this film (which I’m sure is in fact very effectively done make up) works really well against the backdrop of glitz and glamour. Certainly looks worth wasting a weekend on!

Jel tako???

I mean idk about this movie becuase tourism is saving croatia and this isn't gonna improve the tourism
@@igriduscirus5345 why? Have you watched the move? Do you know who the killer is? Croatia looks amaising in this movie...
Slazem seee
Leighton Meester looks more and more like a brunette Julian Moore, the older she gets. She even has her mannerisms. That's not a bad thing, btw...
Omg yes she does remind me of Julianne Moore!
She does!
i like her more as a brunette than natural blonde.
Facts!
so true. they both have a youthful look about them too ... like i think JM is in her 60s now! and LM could still play a teenager with the right makeup. beautiful ladies.
I love leighton so much, her act is so divine. Hope this movie will let more people acknowledge that
Leighton!! Finally! Hopefully this movie is good. She needs a comeback (like Penn did for YOU)
i am studying english online
be my friend.
Badgley was incredible as Joe Goldberg. it was clever. he played a role similar to an improvised dan. hope to see these actors grow in the future
Happy to see this! Will continue waiting for the day Leighton is cast in an amazing series worthy of her talent. Hands down the best actor on GG.

She’d be so good in a FNL type show. Just raw, emotional acting. ❤️
I'm watching this for Leighton. She is such a good actress.
This movie was so good. So many plot twists that kept you guessing who the killer was. The cast did a wonderful job.
i feel honoured that this movie is being filmed in Croatia, we never got many chances for such opportunities
slazem se!!!! 🥰
U Hrvatskoj se stalno snimaju filmovi?? Ovo da nemamo prilika je laž. Ali da se radnja DOGAĐA u Hrvatskoj je nešto drugo ako si na to mislio/la
No također može donjeti i loše strane ako ljudi povjeruju da se u Hrvatskoj stvarno može završiti mrtav na malom izletu🙄
Jeste blesavi, veselite se jer ce se nasa drzava retardiranim amerikancima prikazivati kao neka opasna vukojebina.
@Eva Bernard we don't have Luca we have Luka
she fits so well in creepy thrillers. i love her
Exactly. Like The Roommate. I started to like her since that movie.
It’s Leighton Meester and it’s in Croatia, so I will be watching
Omg, as a Croatian can't wait to see the country as a main plot driving location in a Hollywood production!
Location and story looks good at the start. Had typical "Hollywood" feel to it by the middle of this. Might be good, but the overdone dramatic music...😅Love the location, beautiful!
@Cocolina omg, thank you for telling me. I won‘t watch this movie. It already has a very bad Imbd rating lmao
Same
Leighton Meester in a movie after years off. Of course i'm watching.
I really liked the movie, I couldnt figure out who was the bad guy until the end. Great acting by Leighton! I hope we see more of her.
Is it worth watching

Most likely the way she smiled when he texted her.
i thought they will kiss but only hug.

Yesssss , finally a good role for Leighton , i am so excited to see her act 😍😍 absolutely cannot wait
I clicked on the thumbnail thinking that it was going to be a romcom. Instead I found out that it’s a riveting mystery. Definitely going to watch.
Yes! Leighton meester, my all time crush since The roomate & when i saw her in person in manila,shes so beautiful😍
I will be watching this mainly because of Croatia and beautiful Adriatic coast!
Leighton!!! Forever one of my favourite actresses, i’m definitely watching this for her ☺️
This movie was mind blowing. Meester was a revelation in this movie. Such a good actress.

actually, i suspected right who is killer because video chat (background is blury but i recognized it)
Movie was trash 0/10
FINALLY LEIGHTON IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION SHE DESERVES👑
The best shot when he spoke in Arabic, I liked it very much
"قلبي داليلك"
He means follow your heart ❤😂
so glad Leighton's back🥺❤
The beginning when she arrived at her friends place, reminded me of the movie Taken".
No matter how mean Blair was on Gossip Girl we always loved her because of how Leighton carried that show.
She's a talented singer as well. I love her album "Heartstrings" it's unique and dreamy. you should check it out.
Thanks for the recommendation. Everyone is talking about her stellar performance in Gossip Girl, but I also loved her acting and singing in Country Strong.
This is like a mix between Taken, the Amanda Knox case and the movie "And soon the darkness" (movie I absolutely recommend btw!).
I love seeing Leighton Meester again an amazing actress!
I’m a huge fan of Leighton Meester and Murder Mysteries and this looks so good. I’m excited!
