Damsels In Distress offers an ironic and partly satirical look at American university life. Greta Gerwig leads a quirky group of friends trying to help self-absorbed students with unusual methods.

 De Sade is in Japan! Gore is sexy. It’s painted in black and white, libertinism is no longer an exaltation, it becomes a denunciation, a drama.

 The most frightening thing in all this is the rejection, the lack so well monochromatically exposed of redemption.

The review praises Suehiro Maruo's Ultra Gash Inferno for its unique blend of grotesque eroticism and tragic human emotion. It highlights Maruo's avoidance of typical artistic self-celebration, portraying his work as a dark denunciation of libertinism and violence.

 Spielberg does nothing but showcase all his technical mastery behind the camera, never going beyond the superficiality that War Horse carries like a shadow.

 A film that relies entirely on a syrupy dramatic tone, redundant and often out of place, thus undermining the usual perfect images.

War Horse blends Spielberg's blockbuster spectacle with human drama but ultimately suffers from a superficial and syrupy narrative. Despite technical mastery and beautiful visuals, the film fails to explore its characters and historical context deeply. The drama often feels redundant and detracts from the film's potential emotional power. Discover the stunning visuals of War Horse but read why its story might leave you wanting more.

 The characters have the personality of a Casini speech, making everything simply didactic. Boredom is the only possible reaction.

 Bigelow, stripped of her unforgivable auteur temptations, reveals herself for what she is: a Tony Scott in heels.

The review expresses disappointment in Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, describing it as a tedious and clichéd spy thriller lacking engaging characters or fresh storytelling. Despite Jessica Chastain's talent, the film feels cold and didactic, failing to stir empathy or excitement. It compares unfavorably to similar Oscar contenders like Argo.
