Perhaps it's his most ambitious film and one that will earn him/given him significant recognition, but I, who have seen and greatly appreciated all of Abrahamson's films, found this one to have less strength compared to the others. There are still connections to his typical themes. Instead of a person hiding behind a mask like in 'Frank', here we have a young woman and her son who are held captive by a man in a room for seven years, resulting in the necessity for them to eventually confront life as it is, without any filters or alterations. Clearly inspired by the Fritzl case and that of Natascha Kampusch, I am positively impressed by actress Brie Larson, who here is indeed experiencing her definitive consecration. more
Please forgive my lack of objectivity, but seeing her flail around on Amici like any ordinary fishmonger, doing trashy skits and displaying ridiculous victimhood on social media really made me lose respect for her. Poor thing and pathetic. more
Replacing a charismatic vocalist like D.L. Roth was not easy, and the band rightly played it safe by opting for Hagar (who was already quite well-known at the time). The album comes across as tougher compared to its predecessor, which had embraced softer sounds... "Dreams" remains in my top five of their most beautiful tracks! more
One night on Monte Calvo, Boris Godunov, Pictures at an Exhibition... among the greatest of the nineteenth century. more
The story of the great and historic feat accomplished by Captain Matthew Webb, who in 1875 became the first person to swim across the English Channel. Ultimately recognized with the title of 'The Greatest Englishman', he lost his life years later while seeking a new challenge swimming through the Whirlpool Rapids of Niagara. The film is his story, that of a man who, for no particular reason — but perhaps, and I say perhaps, just because he is a man (in the sense of species) — seeks to go beyond his limits and ultimately achieves the feat. Very beautiful. more
Until Issues are to be remembered, then they took labbbottah (catiponda word)! more
Sure, a bit cloying and naive as a start, but truly the day is seen from the morning! more
You have a great voice that you could use to sing some "revolution." For the rest, some of your tracks are not bad. It's a shame you still want to reflect the musical conformity that sullies the commercial scene. more
You have always been one of my idols, the patriarch of the revolutionary pacifist model. As for the rest, I agree with Gaber. You know, when you told Peter that you would build your Church on that rock: fortunately, you put someone like Bergoglio in charge because otherwise, you really messed up! Take comfort: no one is perfect, not even you. But I will always care for you... more
...Not only the birth, passion, and death of Christ, but he also narrated everything that happened in the middle of that era: the birth of the Virgin and the childhood of the Savior. The apostle most "ahead" of them all... more
He was a great artist (yes, he was...) eclectic and experimental, a unique voice, an underrated guitarist. Less of an icon than MJ but more quality. Farewell to the true king of pop ;( more
A good singer does their duty. more
The best band in the history of all heavy metal. They were capable of producing nothing but masterpieces. They are so perfect that I honestly have run out of adjectives to describe them... more
Only someone like him could contribute to a masterpiece like "Rust In Peace," simply PERFECT and NEVER MONOTONOUS. more
So immense that, in the face of his creativity, his passion, and his genius, you just disappear. God, give us back Randy and take Angus Young instead; he was the true god of classic heavy metal, only he could create a solo as damn epic as that of Mr. Crowley... more
For me, a great rapper even if sometimes he gets a bit too self-celebratory. more
Yoann Lemoine is definitely one of the most 'hype' names of the moment. I wasn't displeased with 'The Golden Age', but this time it's a soundtrack for a film, 'Desierto', directed by Jonas Cuaron (son of Alfonso Cuaron, ('Gravity', 'Children of Men')) on the theme of immigration. The sounds seem suitable for the film's atmosphere and made me think of the first album, the self-titled one, by Calla, the band from Brooklyn, New York, which had its moment of glory last decade. more
Americans call these films 'dramedy.' Awarded at the Sundance Film Festival in 2013, the film tells the love story between two seemingly very different kids, but who actually share a whole series of issues typical of their age. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a well-made film with meaningful content; primarily aimed at younger audiences, it probably doesn’t receive the attention it deserves. more
