    ★★★★

    This movie it’s possibly the most important movie of Greta Gerwig’s career. 

    You can tell her voice is in this movie and it seems to me that Barbie is the perfect messenger for what Gerwig has to say about womanhood, patriarchy and social interactions between men and woman.

    All this is delivered in a fun and entertaining way. The visual and production design section is striking and I completely loved the performances of Robbie and Gosling.

    In short, this one will stay like one of my favorite films ever.

    What a monumental achievement for Nolan, Murphy and the entire cast. This character study seemed flawless to me, all aspects of the film feel so real, so palpable.

    IM IN SHOCK. 

    I'm writing this within hours of leaving the movie theater and GOD, what a beautiful experience when the theater is full and the audience shares emotions. 

    This will definitely be nominated for the Oscar. The art and visual aspect of this film is sublime and is even better than that of the previous film. Every member of the cast was chosen in a perfect way and does an incredible job in this movie. I laughed, screamed and…

    ★★★★

    Probably the second best movie in the saga, and a major improvement in almost every way.

    The character work improved a lot in this installment, we are finally in front a new generation that benefits from familiar faces but that are no longer it’s training wheels.

    This is the most brutal Ghostface ever, the deaths and violence have increased their intensity and the same goes for the offensive of the protagonists. However, there are certain problems, the killer reveal felt,…
