It's as simple as that, Miloš Forman took the Czech New Wave with him across the sea and made his first American film in its style. In short, a kind of Audition or Peter and Pavla, but in the hippie mood of the early 1970s, which was still bubbling in American society at the time. No wonder it was a flop (and Forman,…

Slowly a new modern subgenre is starting to emerge: game night that goes wrong. After Talk to Me we have another similar film, only it's more of a mystery thriller, but it's pretty cool. It has received a lot of praise abroad, the original idea and the execution are interesting (the game with the body swapping is…

An enjoyable bloody forest survival action flick with our Scream Queen Samara Weaving. The film leaves story and dialogue aside, it's a mute spectacle (which is a bit of a shame, because the lore of that world could have been quite interesting). I was worried it would tread water, but fortunately it has a good pace,…

One of the most beautiful and emotional films of the year. Pure Beauty! Wild Robot is impressive in so many ways, it has revolutionary visuals, a beautiful soundtrack that adds incredible emotion and intensity, a gripping and beautiful story about a robot who gets lost in the wilderness and has to learn the rules of…

Raily is going through puberty and it's an emotional whirlwind. A new console, new emotions. Anxiety as the main instigator of personality change feels incredibly realistic. More mature issues than last time, the parents may be more affected than the kids. Trying to fit in, stand out and remain a good person.

Die stimmungsvollen Orte eines verlassenen Dorfes in den Bergen Kalabriens sind hier der Schauplatz eines Films, der uns aus der Geschichte eher das zeigt, was wir nicht sehen müssen, als das, was wir sehen wollen. Ganz zu schweigen von den Handlungsanregungen, die den Film voranbringen sollen, sich aber ins Nichts…

Für einen kleinen Independent-Thriller über eines der beunruhigendsten realen Themen ist es gut. Aber wir haben denselben Konflikt schon viel eindrucksvoller und filmisch delikat gemacht in der fünften Episode von Too Old to Die Young von N.W. Refn gesehen. Der Aufbau der Exposition vor der Schlüsselwendung ist hier…

Ein Familienfilm über die Annäherung einer pragmatischen Tochter mit ihrem Vater, einem Prügelknaben, auf einer Wanderung in der Wildnis Neuseelands. Mit einer starken Kinderoptik und größtenteils mit naivem Humor. Die kleine Nell Fisher ist spielbergmäßig süß, die Szene wie aus Cliffhanger - Nur die Starken überleben…

A brisk, energetic thriller on the theme of “innocent protagonist gets into a jam, the situation only gets worse as time goes by and he has to get through a hellish night fraught with danger in order to save his own life”. In this case, a young black locksmith becomes the victim of a deception when he unwittingly…

A half-baked thriller about a group of schoolgirls rebelling against the conservatism of uptight adults in a religiously tight-knit village community rocked by the recent case of a missing/murdered adolescent girl. The conflicts with parents and with the local pastor and the murder investigation are of marginal…
