The Handmaiden review

Extreme formalism but has some moemntos and images and parts that trascend it. The sexy pervertion of the characters, leading to the happy somber mutilation, while the lesbian girls are happy, is ok.

Friendly Persuasion review

Wyler knows what to do with any material, even one as antipersuasive as this one. Maybe the material is too washed up (they don'r commit crimes ans are too moderated in the end), buy doesn't lack subtlety and some humour in the Marjorie Main and her tomboy daughters part. Cooper is miscasted against McGuire.

Lucrèce Borgia review

Christian-Jaque historiacal adventure films must be revisited. Lucrecia's romanticism mut be found, and the film finds it in some parts, behind the despotic intriguing sxy killing court she is part of. Sexual overtones and fantastic parts (la chasse a l'homme of Serato is excellent, the incestuous attraction of Cesare to his sister) are more than ok.

The Unknown Girl review

Dardenne's naturalism with a search that speeds up the narration and has a thriller aspect. Secondary characters are well depicted and you don't loose their sense of guilt and frustration.

La academia de las musas review

Me cuesta soportar a Guerin cuando da vueltas sobre lo mismo, un académico pretencioso creyendo que tiene todo resuelto sobre temas irresolubles, y mujeres que supuestamente lo inspiran y desesperan.

It's Only the End of the World review

Huis clos to a explosive talky family, too dependning on Vicncent Cassell explosions, too fatalist oriented, not findifing a momento to a espontaneous, frank, moving dialogue or gesture.

Michael Moore in TrumpLand review

The humour of our time. Moore is a contemporary philosopher making a stand up instead of a conference, and always adding and irony, a new comment, a new reason.

Política, manual de instrucciones review

Bien León de Aranoa haber logrado zamparse en las conversaciones íntimas, entre bambalinas, de Podemos. Las entrevistas refuerzan que entre la acción y el discurso abstraido, no hay diferencia para este grupo. Por una vez, un buen documental donde los actores políticos se analizan a sí mismos y no inervienen expertos.

Anomalisa (2015) review

Adult, tender, simple, straight to the idea, pragmatic (just having all women talking lke men and the one talking womanly, is enough) puppet fantastic realistic stuff.

The Prize review

Light Nobel winner in a jamesbondish intrigue; pretties blonde Sommer and brunette Diane Baker, and two faced EG Robinson. Robson is effective, not more.
