Despite of these considerations, Marina’s baffling behavior kept me interested till the end, in a film that didn't spare an amoral Russia, where the lack of professionalism, bureaucracy, coldness and violence, are too evident issues to be ignored. Review
It’s true that Hello I Must Be Going could have been better in many aspects, but despite all its flaws, it manages to inject a bit of fresh air in the so exhaustive... Review
Despite the slow development, the story was able to keep me minimally interested, particularly regarding the dirty political manipulations that always lead to reproachable decisions. Review
Of Snails And Men is a mildly funny political satire that delivers some dose of good-disposition despite the sadness hidden in its story. Review
The merciless behavior showed by every character without exception, turned this film in one of the darkest of the year, but sadly the fierce action scenes eventually fell in standard shootings and hide-and-seek games, in a plot that can't be classified as imaginative or intriguing. Review
Zero Dark Thirty sustains my total surrender to one of the best contemporary filmmakers. Review
Watching Samsara is one of those unique experiences that one shouldn’t miss. Review
His new film counts with the presence of three wonderful divas – Catherine Deneuve, Chiara Mastroianni and Ludivine Sagnier, but their charm wasn’t enough to turn “Beloved” into a charming movie. Review
Between resolute silences and nostalgic musical compositions, this was a revitalizing film, although denoting some avoidable sentimentality in its final moments. Review
Family problems and Mafia connections were also introduced as mere pretexts to deflect our attention from the uninteresting sexual adventures of producer To Wai-Cheung. Vulgaria, as the title suggests, is nothing more than a vulgar movie. Review
All got worse with a couple of superfluous scenes aiming to impose tension, as well as an hasty ending, which deserved a better conclusion. An hectic film, needing fresh ideas. Review
Purge is a Finnish bleak drama, based on the best-selling novel by Sofi Oksanen. It falls short from what I expected from a drama of this kind. Review
Too slow and often cold, almost everything in Barbara looked like a bit premeditated, making it a film to watch without expecting too much enjoyment. Review
This bizarre essay needed something else to become more lyrical or philosophical. Radical and free... although not brilliant. Review
The imagery by itself isn’t enough to handle a movie, and it seems that Peter Jackson relied too much in this aspect, simply forgetting to put some spice on the rest. Review
Using some cheesy scenes, uninspired jokes and an awful karaoke moment, this is a movie with too much ups and downs to be considered solid or interesting. Review
Some of the characters have shown margin for further development, yet the plot was rather compelling. Review
Ai Weiwei: Never Sorr” denounces a persisting problem and shows how much fearless people are needed to make pacific changes. Review
Feelings only come around in the final scene with a touching letter from Thor’s wife, while the soundtrack reinforced the sense of heroism, in a super-budget film that failed a prominence place among cinematic odysseys. Review
It opted for an honest modesty instead of a deceptive grandeur, which in this case had its own risks, leading to a limited amusement. Review
Pietá is an asphyxiating story about motherhood, greed, evilness and revenge. Review
Tilva Ros may seem aimless at the first sight, but a closer look will make you conclude that this is a curious study about youth and their ambitions, in an isolated town. Review
Despite this mishap, all the phases of a pregnancy were analyzed with meaning, from a feminine perspective: starting with happiness and optimism, then experiencing fear and expectation, and ending with restraint, disillusion and tiredness. Unfortunately, the adopted approach betrayed the possibility of A Happy Event being a better movie. Review
The characters were based on real witnesses and the scenes generate the proper tension to catch the viewer. Diaz is an important film, denouncing a tragic day that will always be a stain on Italian Democracy. Review
