“(BluR) Shozofrenia is exhausting, firts part in great, thr anguish in in spectauclar cotidianeity, in the streem in the apartment; hallucinations pop up from the neighbourhood and over the bathtub (wonderul detail the man falling down to the tub); but, then, a extremly long display of hhalucinastios” read more
“(OK) So powerfull, in script, acting (Brustyn, Sydow, Conn and Karras and even McGowran as a drunken intellectual), rich in detail and even digressions, with a strange prologue, but such an effective topic that Friedkin coul add what he wanted...” read more

“(MU) A pesar de la desmesura (empieza con un idiot plot luego de que Maura baja las escaleras en guiño a Cary e Ingrid en "Notorious") , el homenaje a Hitch (desde los créditos a lo Saul Bass con música a lo Herrman) , con colores de Madrid almodovariano, y un grand finale madrileño, vale todo..” read more
“(MU) This deserves to be a culti film, kind of juvenile deliberate killer "Stepford wives" with big black humour politicall incorrect touches (policemen believing a man is gay becuase his boy is founf with a bottle of water and not a bear!)....good mathc Wyno na and Slater” read more
“(OK) Serious, heavy, a bit of Citizen Kane research of a dead great man's truth, with a WW2 twist at the end. Hepburn, Tracy and Cukor made all this credible...” read more
“(MU) A cult film just because The Clash not only play but acts in it. Bad for them, they are too lefty for the main irresponsible character and too classic for the punk feeling...” read more
“(OK) Altman made with this relaxed Chandler´s story what Hawks made with Hemingway in "To have and have not". It has so much flavor, and charm, and details as happy as the halfnaked yoga girls, or the psycho Mark Rydell, or Hayden amusing himself as a hemingwayesque character....” read more
“(MU) Gran actuación de las dos mujeres, la madre tóxica y, en especial, Valeria Lois,la hija buscando un tardío destete; un viaje definitivo casi fantástico, solo ellas en el bus, el desperfecto, el chofer enamorado...” read more
“(MU) Seidl follows with his eye of excellent doccumnetarist, his fictional decadent lousy singer in Rimini out of season. Everything is out of season here. Richie Bravo means of survival , prostitution with old ladies, extorsion, renting his home, are so colourful” read more
“(MU) As Nolan and Arronovsky, Fincher is one of the pretentious, bombastic, american filmakers. Films and story are excessive, acting is good (Norton pretty much better than Pitt), locations come wth its wharehouse ruined style. Violence is really anoying, can't get in the chaacters...” read more
“(MU) White hunter, black heart. Not recommended to 'animalists'. Seidl leaves the best to the end: the killing og a girafe. Wonderful, insulting, dramatic, senseless...Bur the hunters explain themselves and have a lot of rituals and codes. Great theme.” read more
“(MU) Can't deny it has wonderful image/scenes as the boy and the crows, his vengeance with the cheat's head, the rats and so on. But isnt there too many repetitive attacks and assaults on him? He doesn't seem to feel pain but he is vindictive...” read more
“(OK) As frivolous and light as Cukor and MGM could be. It even lacks locations, almost everything happens in Shearer's terrace. She is more than ok but a pity this was her last movie...” read more
“(MU) A Seidl's fan may recognize in the firs character the origin of "Paradies faith". Surprising ability of convince people to tell to the camera, as if it were God, such intimate things as thier sexual fantasies, her romantic insecurities and more...” read more
“(MU) The least interesting and ambitious of Seidl trilogy. A commedy of girl coming of age and not losing weight in a diet camp. A whimsical refused romance with the camp doctor...” read more
“(MU) Second in time and second best 'Paradise'. Seidl tries to be as ascetical nad minimalis as his rigid character, but makes good documentary improviation when she goes 'evangelizing' negihbours...” read more
“(MU) Best of "Paradise" trilogy and maybe best of Seidl. There´s progression in the sex turims hungry and angry austrian middle aged overweight ladies. Our main character is son convincing in her fears, her liberation, her naiveté, her fury lookin for the boy who cheated. And in her birthday party” read more
“(MU) Romantic drama with a bit of reflexion on infidelity, and some delicate touches and not so much. The girls are pretty much better than the boys. Worthington is a tasteless actor.” read more
“(MU) It's ot about music, but people who went through music so stoned that their fame was ephimeral. When love nurtures drugs. Nancy is so dramatic when cries to Sid "at least you were something, I'm nothing'. Good compositions of the pair in the streets and NY Chelsea Hotel...” read more
