“(MU) So moving little story, the fallaing leaves in the backgrund and in the mind and action of little girl believing she will save her sister's life tying them to a tree; makes you forgive the forced happy end and the anticipated texts...” read more
“(OK) More than sins are human weakness satyrized, good approach for Godard mocking Constantine tired to lace his shoe or undress to have sex with a star; de Broca making chaotic and constumbrist eating out of death travel and rituals; Chabrol mocking a whore de luxe; Molinaro with the sexy Dany Sav” read more
“(MU) Story of Israel and Palestine as background with pacifist point of view, a selfish heroine, a too conscious one (Mama Hind), 3 or 4 stories behind them, long cameos by Dafoe and Redgrave, brightless direction. The best are the authentic Jerusalem locations” read more

“(Usb) Post terror by Peele. Instead of fear, there's audacity (the 'it's for Oprah' stuff) , ambitoing and a sort of foolishness seeking to record the imposible. The Gordy subplot, (the chimpancee killer) makes this a sort of poor 'once upon a time in Hollywood'...” read more
“(Usb) Colonel Parker is the villain but makes his discharges in the figure of an amusing bastard tricky Tom Hanks. Elvis has to be a manipulable moron to be managed by Hanks (even his religipus mother is more inteligent) and so are his friends...in Luhrmand there's a superficial baroquism...” read more

“(MU) August in reverse, 22 days in reverse, each scene behind the other, strange, not happily solved structure, in fact improvised while living the Covid quarantine...” read more
“(MU) Joao Pedro Rodrigues, big name in the arty, mysterious, dense portuguese cinema. This is ambitous, phobic, natural, primitive, observation of birds and almost fantastic rituals, xenophobia (the crazy chinese women lost from el camino de Santiago), a gay moment...textures...” read more
“(MU) Its not only a drama of rejected son escpaing with rejected mother, but a tragedy that needs the victims to be stupid. The finale , the revenge of two women, the real police woman and the devastated mother, is ok...” read more

“(MU) Melodrama of soft pantheism, a wonder boy Pitt being the fatal hero, from the point of view of the surviving Craig Scheffer, love and harmony goes fishing with envy and jealousy, there´s religion in fishing more than in father´s temple...” read more

“(MU) Kusturica at his best and funny and and joyous because evuil and viilence are submitted to a happy ending with the harmony and bad and not so bad peple. The young ones are the hope of the future, being helped by fading granfahers. The adults are rotten...” read more

“(MU) Great Rohmer's inmersion on the logic, tha passion, the inteligence and the time all of that. The marquise is as subservise as their family is comprehensive and passionate, the mystery is dissolved in the magnific scenes...the father is so noble at the end...” read more
“(MU) Buena historia, gran personaje de Isela Vega, bien complementada por el cura, no son llevados por una pasión inherente sino empujados a consumar su historia por la beatería del pueblo. Algo esquemática hacia el final, pero visualmente se independiza de la pesantez del texto y vuela mejor....” read more

“(MU) As individualist as it gets. Chahine, good actor himself (there's a shot of his role in "Cairo station") is too close to his actors, expect the best of festivak, his wife is secondary but kind; films with kitsch and humour (Egypt is kingdom of kitsch) and half films is wasted in a cinema strike” read more
“(MU) The circle is true, everybody cheats or thinks in cheated by the other pair, perfectly, and there's a great secuence, with perfect edition, tempo and atmosphere, where the cheat is done...” read more
“(MU) Gomes has his own world, tender surrealism based in tales onf childhood. Here the adult characters play like children, but the best is Francisco, angry 30 years proffesor, a complete looser on his 30th birthday” read more
