Sanctum (2011)
3/10
Almost watchable
2 June 2020
It could have been a full 4/10 if it wasn't for the absolutely terrible actors and demented dialogues. The cave looks good though.

Very enjoyable
14 May 2020
A well written, very enjoyable series. Although following an already seen genre of a performing school series, it is very well directed with many unexpected amusing musical and visual sweet touches. The humour of this very good director/writer is what makes this series a fun watch. His previous works are great, my favourite being the film he wrote, Loose Cannons.

Into the Night (II) (2020–2021)

Watchable
1 May 2020
Quite fun and watchable apart from the demented dialogues. I guess the only problem is the bad translation and slightly annoying dubbing. But good idea for a series overall.

Lovely little film

Very well written and acted and very convincingly directed film by Valeria Golina. It is a beautiful bitter sweet humorously written little script. Both actors are excellent.

Beautiful little film
29 April 2020
Very well written and directed little film. Very powerful and funny at the same time with an interesting dramatic ending. Definitely Jake Gyllenhaal's best acting role.

Painful
30 March 2020
Terrible C-movie. The four obnoxious 'actresses' are unbearable to watch so it is the plastic 'shark' who can actually bark! It's not even funny.

A Taxi Driver (2017)
10/10
Colourful, beautiful and sweet little film
15 February 2020
This is a super sweet, lovely, colourful film, beautifully filmed and directed. A little gem. I'm totally in love with South Korean film making and also its culture. Western cinematography can and should learn a lot from it. My favourite film of all times is South Korean-' Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring'- the minimalist delicacies of these films are just gorgeous.

Alaska (I) (2015)
10/10
Beautiful
14 February 2020
This is a beautifully written, directed and acted romantic film. I'm surprised by the relatively little critics recognition. Yes it is, at times, over dramatised and not particularly original but it is over all fully enjoyable. In my opinion the quality of this film is mainly due to the sensational and charismatic Elio Germano. Reminiscent of a young Taxi Driver Robert De Niro, he is one of the best European actors of this generation.

Delicate and Beautiful
2 February 2020
This is a beautifully written, directed, filmed and acted film. It is very delicate, poetic and romantic. The almost minimalist cinematography is gorgeous . The main actress is beautiful and perfect for the role. I have only watched one of Ozan's earlier films, 'Swimming Pool' which I totally loved and still remember after so many years and I now want to watch all his films.

Suntan (2016)
10/10
Amazing little gem
22 January 2020
Beautifully written, filmed, directed and acted powerful little film. I loved the gradual transition between the peaceful arrival to the lovely little island through to the beginning of the beach holiday tourists season and finally the crazy party atmosphere all the way to a total downfall. The depiction of the parallel life of the islanders is sweet and very funny. I loved the abrupt shocking powerful ending. The main actor is superb. 10/10 for this raw little gem.

Cheap Rubbish
3 January 2020
It is not funny, let's be honest, I would call it embarrassing . Somehow very amateurish, not really expected from the BBC. People seem to like though for some strange reason.

WOW
20 December 2019
This is a great documentary, almost didn't watch it because of the ridiculous title.Definitely one of the best and most entertaining disturbing Netflix documentaries. I wasn't sure about 'Baudi' all the way through but the very last scene freaked me out:-) Great watch.

Fun but ruined by dubbing
20 December 2019
Unexpectedly fun to watch, unfortunately the dreadful American dubbing actors ruin the series. Otherwise it is light, well made and fun to watch.

Excellent

Beautifully written, directed and acted movie. The story of a strong woman going through the many difficulties of her life with positivity and being happy with herself in her loneliness. Moore is absolutely magnificent.

Very funny romantic comedy
10 December 2019
This is a well written and acted romantic comedy. I was particularly impressed by Winona Ryder comedy acting. It is very sweet, funny and very watchable film. Very interesting how there are no speaking actors throughout apart from the leading actors.

Simple minded

This series is so basic and simple minded that it's almost watchable. In fact I've managed to go through it all.

Improvised Mess
2 December 2019
There is very little about this movie that is enjoyable. Mostly improvised dialogues, embarrassingly bad jokes, bad acting, badly written amateurish mess. Non likeable characters apart from the Scottish guy.

Very sweet and cute
1 December 2019
This movie popped out of Netflix and although the reviews were good, I didn't know what to expect. It is a super sweet, heart warming, intelligent and funny little gem. You watch it all the way through with a smile on your face and a little tear. Well written lovely movie.

A solid good film
26 November 2019
Unexpectedly great film, full of suspense and unexpected twists through to the end. Beautifully filmed and directed, it is also easy to watch, despite the original Norwegian language.
