“(PA) Oh, Spielberg as personal and jewish and occasionally funny, as Allen. His coming og age is passing from 8mm to 16mm, and becoming aware through film editing that his mom is having and affaire with uncle Benny. The secuence in wich Michelle Williams see (just her face) what we already know is g” read more
“(PA) Complex, multitone, multilayered 'polar', as noir as romantic, intimist, and all those pretensions are too much for a fil...but Chan-Wook somehoy gets a happ nont excellent mix. Sometimes he has Wong Kar Wai's taste for Hollywood and latin por music...” read more
“(PA) Simple little thriller, effective, doesn't gets heavy with its technological stuff because its in fact kind of Blow up (Antonioni) or Blow Out (De Palma) of digital era; bur the principle (find the audio trace of a crime in the background) is the same. Kimi is just a gimmick” read more
“(MU) Kitchen provincial gangster film. Wheatley is kind of Ken Loach making a ganster film in the trace of "Family life". A criminal family tries to reset life and disintegrates in trying...” read more
“(TB) Good film of journalists (almost a genre in Hollywood) with strong structure subtly revealed in a choral charerization (the girl amazed by a filming in Ireland, then running, and later revealed as a key case), Ashley Judd by herself. Excellent acting in all the cast.” read more
“(MU) Campion, and Gerard Lee's screenplay, build a world for Sweetie in spite of everybody around her, progressing to her grand finale on the tree (don't want to spoil it). The trip to inner Australia -without Sweetie- is an elegy in the middle of all...” read more
“(OK) Depiction of gay ultrasophisticated drama and routine (poet Sigfried Sassoon, actor singer Ivor Novello, diverse socialites); dialogues are too heavy. The main character remains almost silent in the present time ans thats better. Davies abandons its poetic style for a classic academic narratio” read more
“(MU) Rejtman es constante y consistente, sus personajes lacónicos, con lógica que se determina en el momento (o eso parece) y resulta tan convincente con suhumor en sordina, cual Kaurismaki porteño. El tema del suicida con la bala en el cuerpo es notable.” read more
“(MU) Hogg is better here than in her last "The eternal daughter"; the heroine really feels unrelated, out of context, envidious of the world she approaches becuase hers is coming apart...a holiday push to an extreme...” read more
“(MU) Simple and direct: first, the director introduces photographer's bio, then panning on great phots on the film and precise interview with straight Chas...” read more
“(MU) De pronto, Isaac deja la narración desprolija y la tosca alternancia con el presente y Pedro Armendáriz y el relato se ilumina y acelera desde que el niño tiene el impulso de visitar a Mariana y decirle que la ama, todo funciona a partir de allí” read more
“(MU) Technically astonishing for being a student debut (the choreograpihc movements inside the frame, are non plus ultra). Narration is weak and confusing.” read more
“(OK) Anything from Gray is more than good. Not just nostalgia and coming of age, there it is an 'americana' in NY, multilayered and has a lovely secuence, with our hero and grandpa Hopkins launching a rocket before the old man's death. The friendship with the subversive afroamerican boy is touching” read more
“(MU) Bloody mixture of gore with not too exploited sadomasoquistic undertones, good rythm, better imagery, noirish characters....” read more
“(MU) Fatih Akin's debut is this goodfellas of multicultural Hamburg. The hero's dream (he's 'innocent' by oposition to his crooked friends) is his return to Turkey....that's not noir not too realistic, but the film has his interesting undertones and deviations...” read more
“(MU) The observation of high sofisticated drugged prejudiced anguished and relaxed when partying, bichu art students, is better than the action...” read more
“(OK) One more 'morceaux de bravure', by Sang Soo, just one long scene (the retired actress confessing the director she is dying and can't make a film, getting drunk and going knowhere is worth the little film)...” read more
“(MU) 3 stars because there's a director planting his temes and obsessions, shining in some scenes (a man caressing a mannequin wth organs), using voice in off to describe -in a sort of mockumentary- processes of sex and behaviour...” read more
“(MU) Effective thriller, mixed narrative times but don't affect tension too much; the additional tension between cops and family with common objective, is credible...” read more
“(MU) I like how it goes from contemporary drama to melodrama, with excellent actress Trine Dyrholm, how she with evil naturality seduces the boy...” read more
“(MU) Wit and humour and speed and nice acting; Stillman is an underrated director. This is halfway "Liaison dangereuses" with Austen...” read more
“Too long and chaotic and arbitrary, and too little information. Its unforgivable to use clips firm all Bowie films just as vague illustration of ideas or mere transition...” read more
