The hypnotic A Field in England gets into your senses with all the screams, madness, and visceral behaviors of its characters, being a violent art-house film with no limits for the mind that is closer to the insanity than to reality. Review
In case you are a fan of Antonio Banderas or Penélope Cruz, you can always stick to the first five minutes, in which they appear in just another ridiculous scene. Strictly disapproved! Review
Bullock’s performance was powerless, while McCarthy showed her capabilities by giving an authentic lesson on how to be dangerously unstable, but unfortunately the plot didn’t show consistency, charm, or wittiness to help us remember her. Simplistically boring! Review
Through confident static shots and an impeccable direction, Seidl shows his admirable technical skills, but there’s not much to take from Paradise: Faith, which showed too much degradation to be likable, in addition to its opportune plot manipulations. Review
Being a different sci-fi, it will give rise to divergent opinions among the aficionados of the genre, but considering the film’s budget, I can say that Cordero did a competent job. Review
The Lone Ranger is a failure and doesn’t make justice to one of my childhood's favorite animated series. Review
The Way, Way Back is ideal for a good summer watching, providing enough bittersweet moments to grab your attention. Review
New World was able to keep me aware of its games and twists. With solid performances and an appealing cinematography, it is a perfectly watchable crime thriller that still presents a few valuable ingredients. Review
Drug War in an easy-watching movie. Its major strengths were the simplicity and effectiveness of processes, without trying to stand out through unrealistic action scenes. Review
Scattered and tedious, Siberian Education didn’t bring anything more than a dissimulated agitation that never convinced me, only increasing my disconnection with its characters and their motives. Review
Comedy fanatics may say wonders about it, but for me this was nothing more than a decontextualized, hysterical, and imbecile film. Definitely, not my cup of tea! Review
The Bling Ring certainly will not stand among her best works, but it didn’t disappoint me either, making me smile quite often with its sarcastic humor. Review
This sensationalist crowd-pleaser is devoid of funny moments (maybe it would have gained something with some), becoming more silly than scary. Review
Ridiculously disgusting but entertaining, 100 Bloody Acres is an uncomplicated film to watch in a Sunday afternoon, without the kids around. Review
More personal and intellectual than properly striking or bold, this film certainly must have a huge sentimental value for its author, but for me it just became likeable and partly satisfying. Review
It’s a stirring comedy that has nothing new to say or show, but certainly provides some entertainment, which will be greater if watched in a crowded theater. Review
Unfunny, unstimulating, and emotionless, Redemption only stirred me up through its most violent scenes. Review
Despite gradually losing strength as it moves forward, The East still delivers some controversy and intrigue, gained mostly through the moral and ethical issues that raises. Review
The visceral ending was the culmination of its excesses, making Maniac a technically well-done remake, but certainly a non-essential one. Review
I believe that Much Ado About Nothing could have given even more than it did, particularly on the emotional level, but it is certainly an enjoyable film, which I easily followed without distractions. Review
By playing with our senses, this illusive exercise on thriller, promised so much but let me down in its final moments. Nevertheless, it still deserves a good look, leaving me tuned for Alper’s coming works. Review
Most of its tense moments were inconsequent and the problematic romance was monotonous, ending up in ridiculous situations. Khan often says that looks can be deceitful, and that is exactly what happened to this film: it looks better than it really is. Review
Hartley presents a meaningful film for everyone, but the New Yorkers certainly will feel it with much more heart than the rest of the viewers. Review
The humor was nothing special either, and Unfinished Song got lost in the trap of good-hearted cinema with predictable twists and common conclusion, being recommended only for those sentimental viewers who don’t mind to watch recurrent dramatic plots, over and over again. Review
