The Upside
Woman in Gold
Like Sunday Like Rain

All give a sweet glimpse into life as lived by highly talented, super wealthy, well adjusted people (only the young boy in LSLR).

Would you live and behave like these characters if you had that wealth? What seems phony and what seemed realistic in the portrayals? I loved Kidman in this one - so uptight but very much knew what she was doing. Like Sunday Like Rain is a real hidden gem if you haven’t seen it, def worth a look.

I found it unrealistic completely! Ultra wealthy people are the biggest, cheapest tightwads on the planet. No way a live-in caretaker would have quarters like that, instead, they'd be living in a room that looks more like a broom closet (Think of The Nanny Diaries). I should know. I work for a very wealthy family and they spend thousands on charity each year, but drive old shit buckets & pay their employees like shit. They also won't pay benefits or anything else. Cheap as hell!
