Sous emprise (2022)
Based on true story
I gave this film ten points when I finished watching it. In retrospect, I would have given it an eight. I gave it a ten at the time because I hadn't heard of freediving until then, and in this film I was completely captivated by the sport. The movie portrayed the underwater scenes really beautifully, you could totally feel the "confinement" of the space being so free. I often found myself holding my breath during the diving scenes. I was surprised that the film was inspired by a real woman. I was still reading about her and freediving long afterwards.
I'd give it an eight because the acting wasn't that strong in the film. But the story is really original. I recommend you to watch it.
Oxygène (2021)
Sci-Fi Delight
This was one of the best sci-fi movies I've seen recently. And we didn't go into watching it with high expectations since it's from Netflix. We were in for a big surprise, great visuals and music. Really great acting by Mélanie Laurent, especially considering where the movie takes place. The film keeps you in suspense until the end and makes you think. The story is original and has some interesting plot twist...
I don't want to give too much more away because it's good to watch this movie knowing as little as possible about the plot. So make some popcorn and enjoy one of the few exceptional movies from Netflix.
Druk (2020)
Looking for substance
Be warned, the first half of the film will probably make you crave a drink. But soon you'll lose your appetite. Mads Mikkelsen was, as always, amazing. I think men in particular will identify with the themes in the movie. For me, the film was slightly triggering because of personal childhood experiences, so if you have unpleasant experiences with alcoholism, think about that. The film had a nice atmosphere, but the ending of the film was lacking in a deeper point for me. It's a fine film, but don't expect anything groundbreaking from it. In fact, it's pretty predictable. If you want something better with Mikkelsen, I recommend Hunt.
Tenet (2020)
Nothing saved this for me
I love a good sci-fi movie and I loved Nolans Inception. With that said Tenet was dissapoitnment for me. I do think it was overly complicated and the reversed entropy sounded really stupid, not even interesting as scifi plot. And those cars.going bavkwards.😣 I dont think it would help to see this movie twice to get, I dont want to do that to myself. Also acting was subpar. I love Pattinson but in this he was somehow weak. Main protagonist was okay but nothing special. Villains backstory was not justified I think. But it was nice surprise that in this movie Nolan already mentioned Oppenheimer, felt like nice easter egg.
Yellowjackets (2021)
Dissapointed
I have a feeling I watched completely different series than other people who are rating it. I love the acting of most of the actresses. But the story is so illogical and weak. At the beggining of first season it sets you up with some scenes that are not even in the first season. It was very dissapointing because it promised to be good survival story and somewhat horrory, meanwhile almost every death or injury in the wilderness would be completely preventable if they used their brain. I dont think I will be watching 2. Season. If i wasnt sick in bed this week I wouldnt even finish the first one.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023)
why so many songs
The extended duration of the movie tested my patience and i was quite bored few times. The characters, especially the female protagonist, lacked depth. The musical-like vibe, despite not being a musical, felt out of place, with an excess of songs. I read one review about excessive songs, and halfway through the movie, there were three, and I thought that the reviewer was exaggerating. But I kid you not, she sang at least 13 other songs in the other half. In the final scenes, the acting of the male protagonist was quite interesting, but I didn't understand the sudden change; there was no buildup.
Fatale (2020)
I want my 1 hour and 40 minutes back
Some parts are okay even mildly interesting but overall it's just bad movie. All the time I wondered why is Hillary Swank in it? Main protagonist is not believable. They are trying to portray him like a good man with morals. Would like to turn back time and watch something else.
The Last Letter from Your Lover (2021)
Quite boring, still cried in the end
The plot between rich but underappreciated wife and a journalist was quite enjoyable. But I didn't like the modern plot, Felicity Jones was a little annoying. I can't decide on Joe Alwyn's acting potential. In my opinion, the role of a rich man who ignores his wife did not suit him at all. Maybe it's because of how very young he looks. Although the whole story bored me - in the end I cried anyway. Labeling this movie as a mix between Vow and Notbeook is very bold.
