The Thieves can be stirring and electrifying, although many times is just show-off, making us anticipate some of its calculated tricks. Review
Its eagerness in combining mystery, humor, drama, and action, all at once, didn’t bring the expected results to make this epic more surprising or thrilling. Lee Byung-hun’s performance, and a few funny dialogues and situations, made Masquerade entertaining but far from fundamental. Review
I wasn’t particularly moved, having the impression that something was missing here. Great performance by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Review
The Bay might be an intriguing experience on visuals, but its phony tone almost never reached satisfactory levels. Review
I liked how the light was used to create intimate, warm images, along with the spirited, wordy dialogues. A couple of scenes, however, seemed utterly misplaced, as if coming from nowhere. Nothing really serious, in a movie that was never boring. Review
Dean Martin’s tune That’s Amore annoyingly fills our ears over and over again, in a movie that was only able to impress through its beautiful southern Italian landscapes. Review
Its leisurely pace might drive off many viewers, but actually, it manages to show sensitivity without being corny. Review
Despite its strangled spirit and implausible ending, Sidewalls still has its enjoyable moments, intercalated with riveting images of concrete, steel and glass. Review
Sometimes ludicrous, sometimes sober, Camille Rewinds counts with a competent execution but stumbles in a borrowed back-to-the-future tale that will not stick in my memory. Review
Despite the coldness and low profile maintained, A Hijacking cannot be disregarded, avoiding being manipulative and conveying a sensation of truthfulness. Review
Staunch rock fans should be pleased with the vitality and intensity evinced in Sound City, while the others probably will remain indifferent. Review
The restrained tension worked strikingly well, whereas minor flaws didn’t have significant expression in the final result. Rohrwacher and Yle Vianello, are to be congratulated in their debut direction and acting, respectively. Review
The choreographed fight scenes along with the final moments seemed too fabricated to impress, while the performances were drab. Totally outdated! Review
With natural performances and a way of filmmaking that refuses to be standardized, Everyday feels authentic, mixing moments of intensity and pain, with other of tenderness and beauty. Review
Without any shame or complex, Porfirio says a lot about humanity and justice, at the same time that points a finger at the incompetent Colombian state. Review
The savvy director Alex Gibney, made the interviewees show their anger and indignation without exploiting them emotionally. Sufficiently explanatory to show the world the demonic crimes hidden by Catholic Church. Review
It showed constant concerns on giving a frenetic image and impose madness everywhere and in everyone, to the point of becoming disarticulated and, not infrequently, ridicule. Not even suitable for crazies! Review
Everything is surrounded by misery due to the Balkan conflict and actual economic crisis, but Rahima’s love for her brother will give her strength and hope to fight for a decent and honest life. Even if she has to face social class differences, religious prejudices or slanders. Review
Lore is subtle but incisive, proving that no fuss is needed to make a competent film. Its meaningful story, acute images, and immense heart, were enough to make it special. Review
Even employing a primitive approach, it managed to bestow some freshness to an old and recurring tale. Review
It’s A Disaster didn't spark a lot of laughs but let out some amusing energy with its screwball tone and laudable finale. Review
Soderbergh expressed his versatility through designed camera plans and magnificent close-ups, highlighting the coldness of the characters, but never neglecting the gripping atmosphere. Reliable side effects are guaranteed from watching this one. Review
It was a shame that the movie hadn’t totally assumed the weirdness suggested in some moments, opting instead for a more formulaic approach. Positive aspects: the performances, and Robert Duvall's magnificent trip on LSD. Recommended with reservations. Review
