The Honeymoon (2022)

Painfully bad

[1/10 · 17 December 2022]

Do you know those movies that are so bad that they are good? This movie is not one of them. It's just painfully bad.

A romantic comedy that lacks any romance and laughs. The plot doesn't have any originality and it has a strong 'been there, done that' feel to it (yet another story about a man-child who won't grow up). The three leads' acting is outrageous. There's no chemistry whatsoever between the married couple, so it's hard to believe they are actually in love and to sympathize with them. The 'funny' situations are not funny at all. What's funny is how over the top they are. Even Lucas Bravo's charm couldn't save this failure.

Minari (2020)

Give the Oscar to Youn Yuh-jung!

[8/10 · 5 January 2021]

Minari is such a heartwarming story. The cast is great, especially Youn Yuh-jung who steals every scene she's in. The cool, funny and smart grandmother I've always wanted to have. I hope her performance would be recognized by the Academy because she is brilliant!

Let Them All Talk (2020)

Not bad, not great

[6/10 · 10 December 2020]

I'm not sure if I liked the movie as much as I wanted to. The story sounded more interesting than it actually is. I catched myself a little bored at moments, waiting through the whole movie for something really exciting to happen.. but nope. It could have been better though if it wasn't for Lucas Hedges' annoyingly-forced acting.

The Life Ahead (2020)

Good but could be better

[7/10 · 1 December 2020]

I liked the movie but not as much as I wanted to. The story is interesting but not emotional enough. I didn't feel the connection between the two leads, it was kind of rushed.

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

Brilliant!

[10/10 · 18 November 2020]

When I first read the reviews I thought it's probably overpraised. I gotta admit I'm not interesting in chess and that's the main reason I supposed I will end up not liking the show. But how wrong I was. The series is much more than that! And Anya Taylor-Joy? Absolutely amazing! She quickly became one of my favorite actresses.
