Lovecraft does not propose any philosophical solution, does not seek the truth, does not even dream of making proselytes.

 The Ancients have been, the Ancients are, the Ancients will be, man is only an incident, a ridiculous jester who deludes himself of having control over himself.

 The male educates, punishes, takes away and gives. Nothing different from what an ordinary parent does, the difference is the assumption of ownership.

 The portrayal of violence remains extremely real and materializes through sequences that are striking and disturbing, without crossing into the sordid.

Miss Violence is a powerful Greek drama that explores dark family abuse and silence within a troubled household. The film depicts a controlling patriarch and submissive family members caught in a cycle of violence.

Its modest duration adds to its impactful delivery. Watch Miss Violence for a gripping and intense exploration of family abuse in modern Greek cinema.

 The voice, shouted and ungraceful as few, does manage to keep the listener’s attention high, but then becomes detested after two/three tracks.

 Talking about post-rock and post-hardcore (?!?!) in the bio is perhaps a bit bold, as of those genres there’s very little here, maybe it would be much simpler to just talk about rock.

Cabrera's debut EP 'Nessun rimorso' offers a noisy, genuine indie rock sound with melodic elements. While the recording style is raw and fitting, the vocal delivery is divisive and the lyrics puzzling. The EP shows typical debut flaws but holds appeal for sugary indie rock fans.

 "Ma Mère is both needlessly provocative and an intellectual snobbish film for a narrow elite."

 The ending is horrendous, marked by elementary shots and an embarrassing use of 'Happy Together.'

The review critiques Christophe Honoré's film Ma Mère as a poor adaptation of Georges Bataille's complex novel. Despite Isabelle Huppert's strong performance, the film fails to convey depth and relies on bland, unintentionally kitschy erotic scenes. The direction is described as styleless and a parody of French auteur cinema. Overall, the film is considered a failed attempt, ending embarrassingly with poor cinematic choices. Read the full critique and discover why Ma Mère disappoints despite its ambitious source material.
