Movie Man Darian Watching All Night Long

This is the best season yet! The performances from Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore are spectacular. Along with the great intensity and scares this one brings that had not in previous seasons. Everyone in this season stepped up Their game in their performance and it's amazing to watch. Bates Motel season four is masterful storytelling. 

In this season Norman not only becomes a dangers to others but himself and Norma is putting up barriers to try to distance herself from him so she submits him to a mental institution but Norman  has darker plans in his head for when he gets out 

Rated 14A : Subject matter, violence throughout and disturbing images 

Freddie Highmore : Freddie Highmore delivers the best performance he's ever given of Norman in this season but one of his finest performances ever with his work in this season! Freddie has been giving great performance after another in every season of this fantastic show. But what Highmore did in this season he went to a place I haven't seen before and it is outstanding to watch him explore the different depths as an actor. He brings that charm and innocence to the screen but at flick of a switch can go really dark and be truly terrifying. But what really stood out we're two scenes one being a scene when he's in a therapist office and the therapist asked if he could talk to mother and Highmore turns his head and brings it back and changes the tone in his voice and becomes mother or at least what Norman thinks is mother. It's so creepy and chilling the scenes of him with his therapist were incredible to watch. As well a scene at the end of the last episode where he has desperation in his eyes and his voice is full of sadness the emotional range he brought to this season was top notch. He really raised the bar on his acting he's so real as this character theirs no part of his performance that is flawed you believe him completely and can't take your eyes off him when he's onscreen. I can't wait to see what he brings to the final season of Bates Motel Overall Highmore delivers one of the best performances I've ever seen. 

Vera Farmiga : Vera delivers an outstanding performance in this marvellous show! Vera also gives the best portrayal of Mother in the latest season of this show. Vera  brings such heartache and pain to her role as Mother in this season and it's brilliant. Mother is truly terrified of Norman and what he could possibly do and the way Vera approached that emotionally was genius! She is so real and in the moment of every scene giving her absolute all to this character and performance. Her character  is so kind and warm hearted but then go dark and scream and the way she delivers the terrifying and emotional  aspect in her performance feels like something that is not acted it feels that it's coming from a real place which only makes her performance feel even more genuine. As well the chemistry she has with Freddie onscreen is electric I completely am bought that they are mother and son the get along so well onscreen love their onscreen chemistry. Overall Vera delivers another knockout performance as Norma! 

Nestor Carbonell : Nestor is truly outstanding in the latest season of Bates Motel! Nestor in previous seasons has given  a good supporting performance to the series but he really shines through in the latest season of the show. He is of course Sheriff Romero and he brought a emotional core performance that should not go unnoticed! Nestor shows incredible range with his character in this season he showscases such great lengths of anger and feeling of loss and sadness and heartbreak. It's amazing because he aren't used to seeing him show those colours in his performance as this character and he dazzles the screen with his incredible talent with his work in this season. Their are a few scenes he has with Norman where it's pure rage and when I watched him it felt like the emotions were coming from a core place that felt very real which made me not want to take my eyes off his performance. Theirs also another scene where he is crying I won't give what happens in the scene but when he is crying you just feel the heartbreak in his voice and tears it's so amazing with what he dose in this season he's truly outstanding in this season. Overall Nestor delivers a truly fantastic supporting performance in this season. 

Anthony Cipriano : Antony is a genius storyteller! He has once again knocked it out of the park with his talent of great writing and expanding the story of this great series. He has done a fantastic job at adjusting the tone to go darker each season and it works so well. As well he gets really creepy and it's so well done along with the great performances from the cast. Overall Antony gives once again great writing to the series of his marvellous show. 

The Lighting : The tones and style used in the show is fantastic! It goes incredibly dark and creepy and the Lighting isn't afraid to go darker and the colours used working very well. It felt very grey and black and it works so well to fit the frame perfectly overall great lighting. 

The Cinematography : The camerawork in this show is incredible! It uses great angles and just their way of expressing the feeling and tone of the show through the lens is brilliant it had well captured shots in this season overall the camerawork in the show is great loved it. 

The Score : The music composed for the latest season of Bates Motel is haunting brilliance! The music and sounds used is so creepy and the melody is so perfect for the style of what season 4 brings it is an Incredibly well composed Score loved every minute of it.
