If I hadn't seen the original, it probably would be four stars, but as it is, it's a pretty useless remake for Yanks only. The first hour is pretty boring, then James MCavoy kicks off his typical psychopathic mannerisms and it's decent. The ending is more action packed than the original, so at least there's a bit of a…

The theme is excellent and incredibly rich, and the dialogues are like a fairy tale. Hopkins as Freud is outstanding and precise, but the real surprise is Liv Lisa Fries as his daughter, who already excellently represents the German-speaking culture. Matthew Goode, however, is somewhat overshadowed by his colleagues.…

An important theme is lost in a film that, in the first two-thirds, functions as a very decent, stylish, and ironic B-movie, but unfortunately transforms in the final act into a sequel to The Toxic Avenger. Demi Moore is in Oscar-worthy form and has always known how to work with her physicality, which is nothing new …

An exciting and suitably sensuous detective story, where the uncomfortable feeling of the decreasing number of suspects is balanced by the satisfaction of knowing that every false lead has a grain of truth in it. But then there is also that titular Easttown, and with it a social drama full of unappealing, yet humanly…

Will & Harper felt like Will Ferrell and his longtime friend Harper Steele, who helped launch his career in American comedy, decided to hit the road to process Harper's transition. The best part? You’re just watching two friends hang out. It’s refreshingly natural, set against the backdrop of a rarely-seen slice…

Hermine Huntgeburth chose a factual approach to the adaptation of the book. She doesn’t rely on any special shifts or updates; instead, she tells a period drama, leaving the emotions to the mature performances and offering the audience the great, unseen scenery of Pomerania (the novel is set in the fictional port of…

A very original and interesting film by newcomer David Marmor, from whom I would not have expected this. A young girl moves into a new community and the people there seem like the dream neighbours, but it eventually turns into psychological terror and nothing is as she originally thought. The film is fast-paced,…

The fifty-year-old protagonist longs to return to his homeland; he is as poor as a church mouse, but he still has a few trump cards in hand—his reputation and his libido. His self-confidence flatters his never-ending success with women, but there’s a catch - modern young girls no longer want men in white wigs and…

A very bold piece, the kind hasn't been on screen before. An unconventional romantic story dressed up in an S&M outfit, which at first glance looks like a soulless, straightforward and boring fetish story, but deep down it hides a psychological game of two lonely, broken people. It's slow paced, has a dark dirty…

An adaptation of James Dashner's young adult dystopian sci-fi novel. Since Dashner continuously adds and revises various sequels, prequels, guides, and other novels set in this world, it makes little sense to analyze the current film trilogy, as nothing is definitive or complete. The first film partially feels like a…
