What this film has to offer beyond this idea and compared to other similar movies? Absolutely nothing. Production values are solid enough, though. Review
The Girl From Nowhere was never capable to achieve successfully its artistic pretensions, losing itself in devised conversations given in literate, philosophical, or nostalgic forms. All these aspects were carried out with inexpressive performances and a sense of fakeness in the most of its scenes. Review
In terms of performances, Christina Shipp stood out among the trio, in a minimally entertaining film that, even with some setbacks, did a lot with so little. Review
Stories We Tell is a touchy, funny, and incredibly interesting film that was conceived with a praiseworthy courage and high accuracy by a talented filmmaker who has so much to give. Review
I must confess I didn’t like the ending but that didn’t prevent The World’s End from becoming one of the most intense and hilarious comedies of the year. Review
Pure, weird, intelligent, and engaging, Sparrows Dance gives a new perspective to the romantic genre with delicious details on direction. Review
The score by Peter Von Poehl also does a great job in this aspect, aided by the simple but not less effective visuals, and an interesting cinematography. Review
Oprah and Oyelowo were never convincing, in opposition to Whitaker who played the butler with assurance and plainness. Review
Miller’s goodbye is fair enough to worth a look. Review
The states of mind change a lot along the story; funny arguments, wild and raging violence, brooding despair, frustration, joy, and ultimately an outstanding finale, make Scenic Route a hell of a ride! Now imagine all that, ironically presented beyond the limits of insanity. Review
Temple’s great performance convinced me of her character’s madness but didn’t absolve Silva from an obtuse plot that didn’t even know what to do with its ending. Magic Magic is a totally expendable thriller that lacks nerve. Review
Every single character in this film can aspire to be super-something, but Kick-Ass 2 is assuredly miles and miles away from being a super-movie. No more sequels of this crap... please!! Review
The performances are one of its strong features, and counted with the guest appearance of Jane Birkin. Review
Meteora is a rewarding and incisive film about desire, sin, faith, and human conscience, which comes strongly recommended. Review
Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard’s performances were positive but incapable to save this film from being an ordinary biopic. Review
The insipid and messy plot, presented very few believable aspects, and the movie loses itself in uninteresting shootings and tawdry situations. Review
The Iceman is watchable and occasionally gripping, but not so accurate in its story. Review
The colors, soundtrack, and camera work, created a stifling background in tones of noir, filled with merciless violence and fulminant moves. Never bland or uninteresting, Elysium is not totally unexpected but guaranteed my attention from start to finish. Review
My advise here is: if you are an enthusiast of romantic films, go for it; otherwise don’t bother because “Drinking Buddies” is just another film that doesn’t stand out in any particular aspect. Review
Don’t be discouraged, since Museum Hours has so much to offer in an unpretentious way, that this trip to Vienna comes very much recommended. Review
Kenji Ushida's third feature film may bring him back the deserved international attention that he once had in 2005 with A Stranger Of Mine. Review
With consistent performances and a competent direction, Prince Avalanche will probably work fine for those who are watching this simple story for the first time. Review
Lying or not lying, the result was always cruelty, and in the end, even I felt ready to confess anything in order to stop witnessing those distressing and fatiguing atrocities. Review
Nonetheless, these aspects didn't remove its effectiveness in denouncing the extreme nationalism in Turkey and the cynicism involved in one of the most barbarian genocides in the history of mankind. Review
