It’s another win for Affleck as a director. I had a whale of a time, despite knowing almost nothing about the subject matter.

positive

This marked institutional character, almost propagandist, without criticism, is indisputably its weakest point. [Full review in Spanish]

positive

In fact Häxan is a deeply rationalistic piece of humanism, exposing the horrors of superstition and hysteria rather than of witchcraft itself.

positive

Some critics love to tear down a crowd-pleasing contender. Don't let them sway you. American Hustle is a good-time holiday movie.

positive

A thrilling film that defies easy categorization, even in terms of where its thematic interests lie.

positive

For once ... I hope the filmmakers haven't ruled out another sequel. As Shrek Forever After proves, there's life in the big green guy yet.

positive

Act of Valour might work as a recruiting poster for impressionable teenagers, but those who bravely serve in the armed forces deserve a better tribute that the naïve, sub-Team America nonsense served up here.

negative

Put quite simply, 2022’s Goodnight Mommy is a ghastly affair, one that would be deemed awful even if it wasn’t being unfairly compared to the film that inspired it, although “inspired” must be used loosely here.

negative

It's a wispy yet insightful and emotionally satisfying film...

positive

Crafted with a budget-minded luscious sense of period detail to distract from the rudimentary direction and clumsy screenwriting...

negative

Writer-director Ti West goes where many -- especially Stephen King -- have gone before...

negative

It's an understated yet transportive film that beautifully articulates the way children perceive and process loss and grief.

positive

Trading in pleasures of a deliberately rarefied sort, writer-director Andrew Dominik's talky, character-rich genre piece largely short-circuits thrills to sketch a grimly funny portrait of thugs taking care of business, in every rotten sense of the word.

positive

Superhero films are rarely imbued with this level of emotional resonance and gravitas, and even though it doesn't reach the heights of the original Black Panther, it's still head and shoulders above the MCU's other post-Avengers: Endgame offerings.

positive

The round and round of emotions and passion is pleasingly akin to Mike Nichol’s Closer. Audiard’s decision to shoot in black and white deepens the emotional murkiness the three central players navigate.

positive

If Concussion had focused on Omalu's tireless efforts to expose CTE to the world, it would have been a powerful film. As it stands, it's just second-string.

negative

If the patriarch of all vampires just ain't that tough, it's time to pack it in. In fact, it was time to pack it in before we were subjected to this movie.

negative

One of the year's very best movies, worth seeing more than once.

positive

A carefully conceived, dramatically honorable picture that treats its subject with clarity and intelligence, especially by contemporary standards.

positive

Never feels either real enough to move us deeply or bubbly enough to make us forget our woes.

positive

Ulmer brings an enormous amount of impressionistic creativity and (what are now considered) infamous noir tropes into the project without spending more money.

positive

It's a love story drained of passion, trudging towards a bleak ending that's never earned.

negative

If you ever yearned to see a version of 'Million Dollar Baby" that has a completely feel-good last reel, this may be it.

positive

The yearning to become human again adds emotional heft to the gory dystopian mayhem.

positive

The film works as a character piece, a message piece, and a tension filled film. It's one of those that should be viewed on as large a screen as possible and in the dark to get its full effect once the miners end up caught in the mine post explosion

positive

The ending is sublime, a set piece that almost makes up for the overwhelming slightness of it all.

negative

Brimming with heart... up there in the upper echelon of MCU movies, and in Mysterio fans are given a fascinating character who ultimately has a key, key role in changing the landscape of this shared Marvel realm.

positive

The meandering and sloppy finale only makes it even more ironically forgettable.

negative

The story of Lorraine Hansberry told in this way, reminded me of how there are so many stories, "Hidden Figures" stories if you will, of Black women in history that we know so little about.

positive

Charming yet brutally honest..offers a certain mainstream appeal for anyone who's experienced love's thorny and persuasive illusions.

positive

Seeing Kevin Costner in a western family drama is a familiar and natural fit for him.

positive

It pulls off its conventional material in interesting ways.

positive

Great fun western

positive

The swirl of storylines, plot twists and huge battles might prove a tad too intense for kids under 10, and even adults will have to pay close attention...Still, the film can't be faulted for its movement, humour or [its] sheer beauty.

positive

... doesn't work and results in superficial entertainment devoid of any substance. [Full review in Spanish]

positive

Filling a movie with horror archetypes (narcissistic cheerleader, psychotic jock, sassy comedic foil) isn't necessarily a bad thing, but this is a movie that at times feels woefully archaic.

negative

...a charming, pleasantly diverting movie that is hard to dislike.

positive

There's plenty to scratch your head about here. Is it a drama? A comedy? And if it's a farce, what's it making fun of?

negative

Mortal Kombat is a deeply flawed film...However, if you're a fan of the franchise, you might well find some things to like here. It is bloody, dumb and bloody dumb - but sometimes, isn't that just what you're looking for?

positive

The movie's magic comes not just from Baker's ability to thread comedy into down-and-out margin-dwelling drama but showing how dependent people's survival is on each other.

positive

This is an on-the-ground (and under the ground!) portrait of a group of men who practice an ancient way of life, simply and joyously.

positive

Stiller e Wilson certamente já provaram ser capazes de originarem uma franquia baseada não em personagens, mas em suas próprias personalidades.

positive

Nearly every scene along the way to the movie's Psycho-like conclusion is fundamentally silly in ways that don't always seem intended.

negative

Brilliant and riveting. Judi Dench gets my Best Actress vote! And I tell you why female teachers have sex with teen boys.

positive

Subtle and understated, a meditation on morality, mortality and murder that escalates into a small emotional powerhouse.

positive

An original story that just can't live up to the promise of it's ambition, "John Dies at the End" just isn't that good of a movie.

negative

A misfire meant to be a franchise. The film is based on an old radio show, and the concept is interesting enough, but this movie just drags.

negative

Pic relies on nerdy world-weary irony to carry the day, but doesn't convincingly draw its characters.

negative

All I can say is there's plenty of difficult people in Hollywood. We just aren't usually exposed to it. I think this film will speak for itself and the future of all involved.

positive

Even the shoddiest of cliffnote 'authors' would be embarrassed over condensing a novel down to this elementary a form. Everything seems to work, but it's all too abbreviated to draw the audience in.

negative

The problem facing John O'Hagan, the producer and director, is how to make a program about people doing and saying boring things that is not itself boring.

negative

the story is just a set-up for the comedy, which Keaton executes with his trademark combination of perfectly timed derring-do and taciturn nonchalance

positive

Deliciously dark and utterly gripping, this tightly-coiled teaser delivers disturbing answers to some very awkward questions.

positive

For the comic actors, this project -- an enjoyable synthesis of improvisation and adherence to the original story -- seems almost too easy. You wonder why it took them so long.

positive

Despite the thousands of miles which divide us from this little family in a far off speck of village, there is a strange community of spirit and understanding. And for this, Roy may take credit.

positive

This slippery, undefined, but gaping loss makes Godard's forceful, elegant, and profound film all the more unshakable.

positive

It is a gigantic, perverse admission of defeat.

negative

To call this a movie a dog would also be an insult to canines, so let's just say Scooby-Doo 2 is a Scooby-Don't.

negative

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was such a worldwide sleeper hit, and its British-Indian cast so beloved, that it's no surprise that three years later they're back in Rajasthan.

positive

Wong and Park are strong enough as both writers and performers to lend it an overwhelmingly pleasant flavour.

positive

An engaging and frequently moving drama with strong performances and a handful of genuinely stunning sequences, not to mention some world class horse-wrangling.

positive

Performed by Zhao Tao... Qiao is a compendium of resistance and sacrifice, in an environment in which capitalism is taking over everything. [Full review in Spanish]

positive

It's not that it's entirely bad. I liked some of the music and Whitney Houston's singing.

negative

The Promotion has more work-life truth in it than a month of The Office or Dilbert.

positive

The 1970s really have been happy days for Ron Howard.

positive

[Jackson] as an actor, the word that comes to mind is dull. Mind-numbingly dull. Mannequin dull.

negative

Credibly generates suspense and maintains interest, even if one wonders why the filmmakers felt compelled to pursue this particular subject matter for their tale of a wronged man.

positive

[A] gripping story of young POWs forced to remove the millions of landmines along the coast of Denmark after World War II.

positive

I had decent hopes for this high-concept, low-brow comedy; those hopes were quickly dashed.

negative

It's just enough of a change of pace for Rohit Shetty to seem like a radical step forward without being so much of one as to be unrecognizable, as it's still funny and exciting, and the visuals pop.

positive

A marvelous oddity the equivalent of a child's fanciful, monsters-in-the-closet imagination running wild and naked through Barry's uncensored libido.

positive

It's a daring, interesting and never boring film. [Full review in Spanish]

positive

A modern love story filmed in a style reminiscent of glorious classic musicals, 'La La Land' emerges as a bittersweet treat for the eyes, the ears and the heart.

positive

If the film is less than the sum of its parts, then some of those parts are touched by genius.

positive

Executed more or less competently, though you get a sense that Gallo, aware of how thin the script actually is, is trying to apply a layer of Luc Besson-style Eurotrash tackiness to add interest to the otherwise flat proceedings.

negative

Aposta na ambigüidade e na sensação de estarmos acompanhando os fatos à medida que estes se desenrolam num ambiente de improviso que sempre valoriza o acaso.

positive

It was cute. It was fun. I enjoyed it

positive

After 10 years, John Wayne finally arrives

positive

... feels incomplete, as though the production ran out of time, money, or both.

negative

The lessons are so treacly, and their delivery method so single-minded, that the Valley Girl phrase "gag me with a spoon" springs to mind.

negative

The 33 is well-meaning, well-crafted and faithful to the source material, but ultimately it feels disappointingly formulaic.

negative

Alternately sweet and kind of creepy...an invitation you might want to skip.

negative

Younger viewers will likely be hooked on the sizzle of the film...

positive

A mostly pleasant entertainment.

positive

Often playing as bright and colourful as the clown's outfit itself, Stitches is better as an idea than it is in execution.

negative

Lowbrow humor.

negative

A Saturday morning kiddie cartoon stretched out to feature length, which by some lights is an awfully long time.

negative

Though the movie about a moronic NASCAR racer overall is uneven and Ricky Bobby's saga lacks focus, the stupid-comical banter and the lampooning of this particular brand of car racing proves entertaining.

positive

Nobody plays ambivalence better, and yet, Plaza allows herself to seem vulnerable here. It's just the thing "Ingrid Goes West" needs to cut through that thick-skin ironic veneer of contemporary Hollywood comedy.

positive

I liked the set-up and the mythology. The villain took me out of it a lot, but other than that, I enjoyed the ride.

positive

Cheap Thrills is a thoroughly nasty piece of work, which doubtless will be the strongest selling point for this worst-case scenario about steadily escalating dares and degradations.

positive

After Yang/ is a treatise on memory, love and companionship. Of searching for happiness. A fragile meditation of grief and belonging.

positive

Um equvoco do princpio ao fim.

negative

...Whilst it's not a flawless victory, it delivers enough B-movie fun to satiate the bloodthirsty.

positive

The brilliant, unconventional structure adds to the immersive nature of "Dunkirk," reinforcing the sense that the war is everywhere, that characters who haven't even met make decisions with life-or-death consequences for each other.

positive

Next of Kin is an exceptional first film: strong writing, acting and camera work, made for only 20,000 Canadian dollars in 15 days.

positive

First-time director John Glen knows what's needed to create suspense...put the series' trademark wit, women, and song alongside the high-stakes adventure of a more brutal 007. [Blu-ray]

positive

Hoffman is understandably concerned about typecasting, but he is indeed the man for the job, recalling the intensity that Nicholas Cage brought to an Oscar-winning performance in Leaving Las Vegas.

positive

This is the Cinema of Attitude pampered beyond lousy teen comedy to some post-Tarantino end zone of stupified 'adulthood.'

negative

A feminist, anti-capitalist and, hurrying, apocalyptic argument, but, and above all, it is the portrait of a woman determined to turn her convictions into a source of inspiration. [Full Review in Spanish]
