The Greatest Showman (2017)
Keala Settle, yes girl!
The music, the songs, the emotion, the magic of the circus, the cinematography, the casting, this was La La Land but more fictionalised but dare I say it, better! The breakout of this film was definitely Keala Settle and she carried the whole film! I'm sure I'll start to see more of her after her portrayal! If I was able to give 9,5 I would do it, -0,5 points because I do agree a bit about the criticism on the film's artistic licensing where sometime's I felt like breaking out to a song wasn't necessary but I'll let this one pass because it just adds to a better soundtrack album! Wouldn't be against seeing it a second and maybe even a third time (and I almost never do that)!
Coco (2017)
Agreed. Best Pixar Movie
Coco is probably where Pixar perfected the formula wherein past films were either lacking emotion, or losing it's touch to reality. I know it's "Pixar" but I think people can relate to a film much more easier when it tackles a story about humanity as Coco is. It was based on a cultural belief with the magical musicality of Pixar films. Not much to say other than it indeed was the final product of years' experience and critiques received by Pixar.
Ô Rûshî! (2017)
Warmheartedly Funny
This film is not just a funny story about a middle-aged Japanese woman, falling in love with an American heartthrob then hopefully following him to the US, there's actually more true emotions to it. We could see how culture could be very different, the difference in generations, it gives us a light on why Japanese people are portrayed to be so emotional and how things affect them psychologically. The feeling of romance, empathy for loneliness, funny moments, a wee bit of hot unprecedented sex, anger and lots more thrown into there. A film worth more credit for the emotion it brings.
Marie Curie (2016)
A 'Nobel' Surprise
Going into this film I thought it was going to be just another boring, inaccurate, biographical dated film but I was surprised to actually be curious to find out what happens next throughout the film. It was not exceptional as to it will get you to the edge of your seats but Karolina Gruszka's (who ironically is a Franco-Polish also) portrayal can really get you interested to know who was Marie Curie apart from being a Nobel Prize winner. A film that will ignite the feminist inside all of us. Worth a watch.
The Post (2017)
Everything on Hanks and Streep
Disappointing. The film focused more on the people involved, thus putting the spotlight on Hanks' and Streep's portrayals. I hope it was intended because without these two great actors, the film's slow-paced storyline, banal cinematography and its non-focus on the scandal itself, would basically make this film just another dragged out plot from Spielberg.
