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 …

Atmospheric locations in an abandoned village in the mountains of Calabria are the setting of this film, which shows us what we don’t need to see from the story rather than what we want to see. Not to mention the elements of the plot that are supposed to push the film somewhere but instead dwindle into nothingness.…

Teenagers finally stopped staring at their phones, instead giving vent to their emotions by screaming, tasting their own blood and pretending to be pack of predatory beasts. In a forest in which a mysterious creature roams and the corpse of their schoolmate occasionally appears. This premise sounds far better than…

Set on the outskirts of an impoverished neighbourhood in Mumbai, Sister Midnight is a delightfully playful surrealist comedy that slips more into magical realism as time passes. The film is appealing with its deadpan humour and situational comedy as it follows the hardships of the female protagonist, frustrated in an…

A feel-good comedy about the joys and fears of parenthood, whose female protagonist tries to find a balance between motherhood and her private life so that, as a full-time stay-at-home mom, she doesn’t start to lose her own identity and creative ambition as an artist in her own time. Despite the trailer, you really…

A surprisingly intricate, mind-twisting film about a student caught in a time loop at a petrol station in the middle of the desert. It’s entertaining, clever, engaging, well acted and packed with ideas. And just when you’re about it write it off as a hopeless story with its accumulating weirdness, because you don’t…

It’s one of those harmless, feel-good classics. Sure, it's full of silly moments and things that don’t really make sense, but it also has plenty of funny, lighthearted scenes that you expect from a comedy like this. The premise, while a bit sad, managed to grab my attention right from the trailer. It’s a comedy, but…

I had no idea that when Leonardo DiCaprio was transitioning from a local heartthrob to one of the best American actors of our time, he gave us such a raw portrayal of an addict. I’ll admit, I wasn’t familiar with his pre-Titanic roles, but with every film, he continues to surprise me. I still remember What’s Eating…
