Not to repeat himself, George Miller went about it differently this time and decided to focus on what he didn't have time for last time, and we get to know the characters and the world better. But that doesn't mean there's no action. There is action, and what kind of action. The first act alone puts most recent action…

If you don’t read anything about Anora in advance or see the trailer, it is flawlessly unpredictable not only in terms of plot, but also in terms of genre. The situation in which the protagonist finds herself easily varies in its degree of seriousness, shifting from tensely comedic to cruelly dramatic. The film…

An excellent flashback to Fury Road. It lacks Max Rockatansky, it lacks the frenetic pace, but the story is more substantial. Furiosa explains the laws of the imagined world. George Miller seems to realize that he skipped over a lot of things and presented them as fact without showing them. He describes a fragile…

A good movie, but not exactly groundbreaking or unforgettable. It was still a pleasant watch with relatively likable characters, both the main duo and some of the supporting ones they encountered along the way. The pace was a bit uneven at times, but the animation and music were nice. The story was decent, but for me,…

A young, novice actress’s whining that shooting an intense scene for a butter commercial with Bernardo Bertolucci and Marlon Brando ruined her life. Without mentioning that it also made her a global star (which she definitely didn’t want). The first half of the film with Matt Dillon as Brando provides an interesting…

With films like One Life, it is often difficult to separate the importance of the story from the art of getting it right. Here, however, I don't have much of a problem with that. The film doesn't aim for the easy stuff, it presents things in a complex way, and when it hits the emotional notes with all the force it…

Cruising is a very strange film. I've seen William Friedkin's The Boys in the Band, from a decade earlier, and it didn’t impress me much. On the one hand, there is the nice and authentic atmosphere of an underworld of gay clubs, but on the other hand, there are many deaf spots and (at least for me) a WTF ending (I…

François Ozon is finally starting to grow on me as a filmmaker. Swimming Pool was a bit too drawn out and chaotic, Time to Leave could have been a bit longer and more consistent, and only Under the Sand fully suited me, likewise The Refuge. I was very intrigued by the premise and its execution, and the film portrays…

An enjoyable animated film with an adequate running time that excels in terms of visuals and content, but is a little too childish in places, which is something to be expected as this film is primarily aimed at a young audience. The premise regarding a magic formula to save cartoon characters was not bad. In short, a…

Sneakers is a film that has a slower and drier start, but from the second half (i.e. from the plot twist about the past) the tension and action starts to build up, which for me, the viewer, is essential and appealing. What makes this film stand out is the great cast, featuring Robert Redford, River Phoenix and David…
