Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
the film had a fantastic concept, which required you to follow along. this was not the movie to go to the toilet.
on the other hand, something happened that made my movie experience less functional and good. I think someone had taken my soda in their ass before I bought it. Since it smelled like real poop, and there are witnesses. Or I took my hand in the worst smell in the world.
I would say that the movie is on 4 stars, but since (you know), I had to let it a little bit down.

Zodiac 2007
4th viewing, no change in response. The obsessiveness on display can be a metaphor for any kind of fixation, though to my over-exposed eyes it can be a cautionary tale about cinemania ("Was he into movies? Was he a movie buff?" "I can tell you that he was not into people.") Only new thing I noticed was a textbook, film-school-approved graphic match between a diagonal line of text and the Golden Gate Bridge: words inscribe the landscape — with terror! Just a perfectly made film, richer than it knows, delivering information and melancholy with equal measure.

Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
Exhausting montage in the service of banalities. Never met a joke that it didn’t feel the need to repeat three more times. Happy for Yeoh, though.

Obi-Wan Kenobi 2022
it’s going to be a very sad day when Disney acquires the rights to Dekalog and begin making up commandments to expand the universe but solely in service of reminding you of what the other ten already explored.

Magic Mike XXL 2015
Magic Mike XXL is a putatively "modest"/"small" film — $14.8 million budget, 28-day shooting schedule, a shambling road movie meant to showcase extended musical numbers and largely excising the first film's recessionary panic. (Business is discussed, specifically the hustle of running a small business, but it's not the dominant throughline motivating everything as in the first, a line of inquiry Soderbergh pursued in Erin Brockovich, Bubble and The Girlfriend Experience, in ways that increasingly played like a meta-text about his…

The Matrix Resurrections 2021
This is some commercial parody, they overdid It so much with all the different “realities”, to an extent that it neither makes sense nor do I even bother to care anymore.

No Time to Die 2021
The movie is not just filmed in Norway, the famous fantorangen is also in it. We will remember Daniel Craig, but it is also exiting to see who will be the next.
It was James Bond throughout the whole movie and some nerve-wracking fighting scenes with Hans Zimmer’s music in the background. I loved that they used the classical Aston Martin DB5 this time for old times sake. Such a good movie with an ending I will remember.

Utøya: July 22 2018
Everything was made so realistic. The start of the movie says everything: she says we would never understand what it is like. In the movie this is a phone call and in my opinion this is the perfect start this movie could have.
Another thing that made the movie really good is that everything looks like being filmed in one clip. Because of this you really feel how slow the time goes throughout the 72 minutes it lasted. -
Toni Erdmann 2016
[8]
Well, Christian Petzold broke the ice, but it looks like Maren Ade's going to bring it home: the "Berlin School" has broken beyond the rarefied festival circuit to produce bona fide hits. What's particularly shocking about this turn of events is that, unlike other segments of the austere art-film universe, the Berlin School appears to have crossed over into the mainstream almost by accident. Apart from slightly more direct plotting, there's nothing about Petzold's Phoenix that made it inherently…
