 The choice to follow the Act Up assemblies... did not benefit the specificity of the political discourse underpinning the film.

The film tackles a strong, known theme with an erratic approach, mixing styles and perspectives that may overwhelm viewers. While the political discourse sometimes feels predictable and uneven, the cinematic portrayal of sex and death delivers a powerful emotional impact. The review critiques the script's inconsistency and the film’s struggle to balance political ambition with aesthetic clarity. Overall, the reviewer finds the film partially successful but lacking depth in parts. Discover the emotional intensity and political struggles in '120 battiti al minuto'—watch and form your own perspective.

 The fear of It is in limine, it is precisely a priori.

 Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise works but needs to shriek, to approach its prey frenziedly; he is almost never scary on his own.

This review reflects on the unique conceptual fear in Andrés Muschietti's It, highlighting its strengths in capturing Stephen King's idea. The film is praised for good directing and character portrayal but critiqued for overused jump scares and less impactful Pennywise compared to the 1990 version. While not a masterpiece, it remains a decent horror movie that resonates through its theme of childhood fear. Discover the deeper fears behind Pennywise and experience the film’s haunting atmosphere with this detailed review!

 Great cinema is when images assume a life of their own, allowing individual interpretation.

 Mother! offers a disenchanted, crude, and sociologically interesting portrayal of motherhood and marital life.

This review explores Darren Aronofsky's Mother! through three interpretive layers: literal confusion, a challenging biblical metaphor, and a free, human-centered reading. The reviewer praises the film's direction, imagery, and performances, especially Jennifer Lawrence's role, while offering a personal and sociological interpretation focused on motherhood and the cycles of love and life. Though the biblical symbolism may feel forced, the film's emotional depth and visual storytelling mark it as great cinema. Dive into this multi-layered film interpretation and experience Aronofsky's Mother! from a fresh, human perspective.

 The invention of cookies really left me speechless.

 A much harsher Inception.

The 2014 Black Mirror Christmas special delivers one of the series' darkest and most inventive tales. Through nested stories and a chilling plot on the misuse of technology, it explores themes of social control, justice, and identity. The concept of 'cookies'—digital copies used for punishments across time—is especially unsettling. The episode's structure, surprises, and social commentary make it a standout dystopian narrative. Dive into Black Mirror: White Christmas—experience its twisty, chilling vision of technology and justice today!

 It’s not the monster that attracts the viewer’s attention, but the people who encounter it along their path in one way or another.

 The monster is therefore just a prod, a vibration that sets in motion the (often unexpressed) potential of Hawkins’ protagonists.

Stranger Things Season 1 is praised for its strong character focus that makes paranormal events relatable and engaging. The series balances 80s nostalgia and supernatural elements skillfully, supported by an excellent ensemble cast. Millie Bobby Brown’s portrayal of Eleven stands out for its charisma and maturity.

 The «anime salve» that Faber talks about are all the souls of men because the soul is a «beautiful deception», i.e., it doesn’t exist, it’s an illusion.

 Life is companionship, but it’s also great loneliness. De André sees himself from outside: «I watched myself cry in a snow mirror / I saw myself laughing / I saw myself leaving with my back turned».

 The mastodons, who wanted to highlight their pachydermal power since their name, now no longer do anything to hide their fragility.

 This subdued tone remains perceptible even though there are riffs, rhythms, tempo changes, vocal intersections, and solos spat out of the guitar with so much anger.

Highlighting guitarist Brent Hinds’ songwriting genius, the album balances classic metal elements with new, more emotional and restrained expressions.
