Barbie (2023)
Waste of time
Boring, terrible colours and music. Orientated to teenagers? If you want to train your will/ patience - you're welcome to watch this. I had really great expectations but sadly this movie is a pure disappointment. I gave 1 for trying to address important topics, however, failed. It can be that this is the movie about women working in a Hollywood industry as in a real civilized world real women own their lives, are accountable for their decissions and are not crying over simple things or all the time feeling pitty fir themselves. Dopamine, genes, disfunctional families, trauma, differently working brain etc. Were totally ignored and just surface touched. But the marketing promised it would be such a revolutionary movie. Oh well.
Tár (2022)
Worst movie in 42 years, lazy directing
1 star just for Cate Blanchet. If not her, it would be 0. Ambitious film with 0 knowledge how to direct/ edit/ tell a story. Too much ground for interpretation, too much time to speak during movie, boring, I lost 3 hours for what? Blanchet is brilliant as always, other actors were great except Max exaggerated ADHD leg trembling too much and not convincing at all. After I read a synopsis in imdb, I understood the movie. Is this how it should be?
I loved Revenant, Birdman, and many other movies which were criticized etc. However, so big expectations for this one and my evening ruined with some strange editorial decisions - had to constantly guess what's going on. In synopsis it is written that Krista sent her book, communication was this and that - where? What? How? It's just a chaos of abstract pieces pierced together. In synopsis written that we get to know Lydia's real name is Linda Tarr - no, I didn't get to know this, and no, her brother didn't scold her. He just mumbled smth. Vague and lazy directling, poor execution of a brilliant idea with a high ambition to smth.
Advice: don't waste your time. There are way much more interesting things to do in life.
Händelser vid vatten (2023)
1 episode is more than enough
Don't waist your time. Bad, really bad. It's TV show, not a slow burner movie. Disrespect to the audience & students can film better. Pointless. Almost fell asleep - shows some nature, birds, a bit horror/ evil music. Tries to build up and... maybe in 30th season characters will be introduced. No quality, no story line, basic filming. Amateur directing and one pf the worst screenplays. If one doesn't know how to make TV shows - no need make. There are plenty of quality ones like Shantaram. If the screening would be in cinema - I'd ask to return my money. It's that bad. And I saw a lot experimental, indi etc movies. Don't waste your precious time.
Shrinking (2023)
Don't waste your time!
It's so bad that I can't understand how it's not canceled yet. Maybe it's for teenagers? Because I don't get it that exaggeration and really dumb slang used by the actor who plays Gaby. The main character is cringy and really unrealistic. Absurd and really bad acting. I'm not familiar with this actor's work but really really bad. As Gaby character is also bad acting. I've never seen anything worse yet.
I can't believe some TV shows like Shantaram are canceled and get no views but this pointless, empty and embarrassing thing is still going on. Can't imagine any person in a clear mind watching this.
I failed to laugh if it's a comedy. Looks like a school thing. But even schools can make better stuff.
Call Me by Your Name (2017)
Pure poetry
Ah, relations. Decisions. Oh well...
I thought there won´t be anything like Ondine or Mon Roi. I was so wrong. There are some really blessed people or at least born under the lucky star. I have in mind director of this movie Luca Guadagnino. Sincerely thank you for a piece of art. This film is a pure poetry - highest of the highest art form/ literature possible. Acting, music, locations, story and how live it is - astonishing. There´s no feeling it´s acting, or something staged. Nope. It feels like documentary or like observing all scenes through a CCTV. So incredibly good quality of my time! I´m so happy true art is coming back to Hollywood. It was long long time ago I wrote review here. And probably negative one. And now I want to read the book even after watching this remarkable film. Good job! And the actors so convincing - I was glued those 2 hours to the screen! Splendid! In the end I just wanted to get up and applause. It´s really something. Touching and opening some new topics to think about though the topic itself is very old and discussed in all kind of media million times. The way father talks with son. The way mom closes eyes. The way story goes. The way it touches all the strings. It´s a cinematic poem about the true human being - of what we all consist. Thank you again for a wonderful moment of truth in this busy everyday world.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Beautiful and inspiring
When I watch movie like this one I feel privileged. Because in 'Hidden figures' there are no lame or unprofessional acting, idiotic lines, etc. It's delightful to spend time in cinema watching this movie. But the most important it's based on true stories which inspire. Excellent portraying of the time line, surroundings, music, and how everything is visualized. It kind of reminds a bit of 'Beautiful mind'. So.... maybe it 's still a hope for Hollywood :)
A Novel Romance (2015)
More & more crappy movies...
I have a question: which year is now? Is it 1950? 1800 or 2016? It's not a start of a cinema. But in this movie actors simply don't know how to act. Good idea was turned down by terrible acting. Dylan Bruce looks scared all the time, afraid of something or somebody. I'm not convinced with such low acting. Charles S. Dutton also acts like in school drama - shy and scared. What's going on? Overall - boring, way too boring. The movie could be splendid but actors playing is weak. While watching the only thought was in mind: fake fake fake. Such movies you forget after less than an hour... I don't recommend to waist time. Giving 2 stars only for the theme - books.
Eddie the Eagle (2015)
Never give up no matter what
I want simply to thank for this movie. In the age of dumb comedies and all the vampire/mystics/fantasy crap appears a true cinema. I thought after Tarantino's 'Hateful eight' I won't watch anything so delightful and interesting. Not only acting but music, camera work and... so much heart put in those 106 minutes. I know the taste of fear, of being popular, of being a little star and yet... falling down so easily. And i know what fear is and how hard to start life anew. It's life fight and so many inside fights brings many doubts. So when I see such movies I understand that nothing is not possible. You just need to remember a very tiny detail... never give up no matter what. And this is how you take yourself from the floor and push to new starts and dreams. This movie is so right and inspiring without all useless boobs and blonds and poses. It's a huge thank you to Dexter Fletcher for bringing back cinema to the first plan. And for all touching content. And the manner of storytelling.
The Hateful Eight (2015)
Tarantino, I love you!
I just want to thank Q. Tarantino for bringing theatre on screen and make a play possible. It's the most beautiful western I've ever seen.
To all who didn't understand the movie, I suggest to start watching cinema finally not only crappy vampire stuff.
I loved every second of this film. And already waiting for a new project of his. Also there is no doubt that this director always brings quality in Hollywood pop cinematography industry. The way bounty hunter portrayed and the criminals / amazing work, and how the story unfolds... It's always a pleasure to watch how elegant and easily Tarantino puts together grotesque, theatre, drama, crime and mystery, how character are involved and connected. I'll definitely watch at least three times more because I always feel like his movies ending too soon...
