Leviathan review

Posted : 10 years ago on 14 February 2015 03:32 (A review of Leviathan)

Subtle, good acting, great vital scope, cold coastal russian landscape used as well as Ceylan in "Winter sleep". Eliptical sometimes, long and static in other, but advances with hard beats. The leviathan whale, is a good motif, in skeleton and alife just in a glimpse.

Winter Sleep (2014) review

Posted : 10 years ago on 14 February 2015 03:27 (A review of Winter Sleep (2014))

They fight and suffer and make amneds on little things and discrepances and misses bigger stuff, as the boy fainting because of the the world that makes Aydin an old arrogant poor rich man. Winter in Capadocia is inspiring.

Tangerines review

Posted : 10 years ago on 14 February 2015 03:24 (A review of Tangerines)

A pacifist fable, two lands in war meets in the good spirit of its men. Too previsible. Acting, just regular. The tangerine motif is not exploited.

Nightcrawler review

Posted : 10 years ago on 14 February 2015 03:16 (A review of Nightcrawler)

Great character and great acting by Gyllenhall. There´s something unpretentious, ordinary noir, not too specchy critic on media sensationalism, tha I like. Rene Russo is excellent in her rapports with Jake.

Foxcatcher review

Posted : 10 years ago on 7 February 2015 02:50 (A review of Foxcatcher)

Deserved to be one of the 8 nominees. Straight, well acted (Carell is the best, Tatum imitates wrestling gestures), good use of the ambiguity of wrestling phisical touches. The big conflict (poor devils, the wrestlers)is between Carell and his mother (the best scene is when she enters the training room). The making of a fictitious world, with speech writers and documentarists, had to end in tragedy.

Wild review

Posted : 10 years ago on 7 February 2015 02:41 (A review of Wild)

OK when you're just in the company of Reese and the wilderness, but the flashbacks structure kills the magic (even its Laura Dern in them).People she meets in the trial are OK too.

Selma review

Posted : 10 years ago on 7 February 2015 02:39 (A review of Selma)

Important, enough sincere to recreate doubts and discussions in MLK's front; but its still solemn to me. The subplots are a bit trite (the suferred wife is unbereable).

The Theory of Everything review

Posted : 10 years ago on 2 February 2015 12:53 (A review of The Theory of Everything)

Glory to the geeks, in its most struggling character. Director Marsh and screenwriters try to blend a simplification of a theory in a biography and it just glows for some seconds...

Sensualidad review

Posted : 10 years, 1 month ago on 29 January 2015 01:57 (A review of Sensualidad)

Qué buena primera parte: gran foto, gran composición (se nota que Alex Phillips ha ayudado a Gout), gran Fdo. Soler aguantándose la lujuria hasta que le damos licencia para darle curso, grandes piernas de Ninón; hasta que el melodrama se desbarranca. Hasta me gusta Bobby Capó. Buen balance.

The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell review

Posted : 10 years, 1 month ago on 28 January 2015 08:06 (A review of The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell)

Cooper in medium shot, sad and impatient, with his team behind him and behind the window; that image resumes the film. Bellamy is excellent. Good story in spite of the classic 'justice plot'.
