The Whale (2022)
4/10
Worst Aronofsky movie
19 February 2023
Pointless. Bland plot and characters. It's a boring comedy not a drama.

I don't get any message or deep in the movie. You will be wishing the movie get to "Friday chapter" to stop looking at your watch. The movie has no heart but a silly poor written story about nothing. Big disappointment from one of my favorite directors. What a bunch of pretentious nonsense. Poorly crafted, tedious, self-absorbed, uninspiring, repulsive, whiny, irritating, self-pitying, empty, and depressing rubbish. Fraser is great, but the writing is shallow and obvious. The direction is amateurish at best, like something out of a local drama school. It's painful to see so much praise heaped upon this steaming pile of offal.

Moral: If you're fat just do keto.

Fun society critic
3 February 2022
Humanity waste its time and talent in stupid and absurd activities like social networks or politics. This films makes a fun critic of all this bringing a message of focus on the important things of life.

Animated drugs
2 February 2022
Watching this movie is an unique experience. A celebration of life with an explosive climax final. However, in my opinion it needs some more depth and creativeness to become a classic masterpiece.

Masterpiece

Humour and drama perfectly mixed with a masterpiece style that emulates Fellini. Lovely characters, great scenes and direction. A modern classic, probably the best movie of the year.

Cool visual style
17 January 2022
I'm not interested by the climbing theme or story of the movie but the animation is so fine and it's difficult to find movie with this style. Have some dramatic moments that add a point of quality.

Interesting but not great
16 January 2022
The movie grows little by little starting very boring and finishing with a nice twist. The acting is remarkable and some characters evolve quite a lot (even too much). However, I don't see enough depth in the themes and message of the movie.

The House (III) (2022)

Unbalanced
16 January 2022
First episode is awesome and depth, a full interesting movie could be made from it. Unfortunately, the movie rapidly changes to a completely different odd chapter with other characters, story and direction. The animation is great, anyway.

A Matrix spin-off
25 December 2021
Don't expect to find a sequel of Matrix here, the trilogy is over and this is something different. Even the director state it in the movie in a parodic style. So it'd be easy to criticise this weird proposal from the point of view of a fan of the saga. However, it's not that bad. Some parts of the movie are quite clever, specially the.first third, it's not the typical money grab movie from Hollywood Studios. Instead, it's.a protest movie from the director,crying out to let the original trilogy rest in peace forever, and proposing a completely new story reusing some of the elements that made Matrix unique.

Wes Anderson unchained
12 November 2021
Wes Anderson goes to France to create his more authorial movie. It push his style to the limit of exasperating the average spectator. Form and style is more important that the story or immersion. But the fans of Wes Anderson and author movies will love this masterpiece. The movies is so rich and visually swindling that have to be considered as a unique and truly masterpiece.

Tenet (2020)
5/10
Really?
27 August 2020
I value the courage to accept the challenge to do a movie like this but unfortunately it does not work. The idea in which the plot is based is not well explained, making the movie incomprehensible. The spectator just disconnect from the movie and the plot does not make any effort to make it less complex. So you just watch at explosions and action with some aha moment in the climax.

I love Nolan's work and I risked my life during the pandemic to go to the theater for this garbage. I respect the experimentation but this plot should never gone into production.

Don't get fooled by the great trailer and previous Nolan's masterpieces: this is a failed movie.

Best war critic movie ever
16 June 2020
The message is in every dialog, character and scene. The climax scene where a vietnamite girl is murdered sumarize the message of the movie and it's absolutely marvelous.

It keeps the interest
13 June 2020
The movie build some tension and it has some good points without being a great movie. The plot has a few holes difficult to believe but overall it's ok to watch on TV.

History in celluloid
9 June 2020
This movie should be reviewed not only for its quality but for being history of cinema and history of the humanity. Characters, quotes, glances, names, music... everything is now history.

Winter Sleep (2014)
6/10
Great movie
30 May 2020
I really love the style and slow progression and deep of the themes. The every day nature becomes a masterpiece. Great acting, classic and real. However, it has moments where it becomes too long and boring and it doesn't reveal as the great masterpiece that it could be. All in all, a recommended movie and awesome work of the director and team.

Funny
25 May 2020
It has Coen traits: Dark humor, special and funny characters, dialogs, unexpected situations,... I enjoyed a lot. It's not one of the best of Coen Brothers but it's fresh and it will make you laugh a lot if you like Coen's style.

Good but not great
16 May 2020
The style is good and has the roots of other great asian movies. However, it lacks a bit of geniality and never hits high creative moments. It finally becomes boring.

Brilliant
1 May 2020
The tempo, acting, plot, directing, photography,... everything is well measured and work together for good of the movie story. The focus on the human realtions and community instead of other aspects of the case make this movie special and different from others.

A dog movie salad
26 April 2020
This is a dog movie, told by the dog voice, with children jokes and stuff... but it's not aimed for childrens... it has also love story, cancer death, car racing,... I don't know what this movie is about actually or for who is supposed to be but it's just plain.

Empty

It stars well, with promising characters and topics. But rapidly it becomes boring and manierist. The intention is good but it's just not good and deept enough to work as it could.
