“(MU) Iannucci's political comedies are more credible and realist than ?House of cards? ore other political stuff. Too many words and verbal fights, but the hogh key is well sustained, some actions (the assintatn leakinf everything, the subsecreatary and her bleeding teeth...) are really amusing” read more

“(OK) Cukor just dances with his camera around stars ego, amd MGM elegant, loyal incursion in a classic.

“(OK) Even pirate copies are censored in the sex with boy first secuence. You have to look for the right scandalous copies. The adult Sweetback is a lousy actor that runs more than fuck; but the editing is so naif and original, that the film triumhs over any resistance” read more
