Reviews

A film offering everything, from motherhood and its deep anxiety, to non binary character, a party and a terrible crisis moment.

In same measure, a beautiful chain of musical moments- lovely choreography.

But what real matters is, no doubts, the end. Sure, for few, maybe, too pink, mix of cliches, unrealistic. But essential not only as moral but for inspired realism.

In short, a charming short musical about vulnerability, loneliness of young mother and about the connection, crafted step by step, with her baby.

And this is the gift after nice show , mix of sparkles and irony . So, the nice MumLife.

The birth of a special calf, reminding the mythological creature. The refuse of owner to call the veterinary. At first sight, presumtion about embarassing secret.

A vet in car, called by Veterinary comision about the new born calf and its reactions , look , previews similar cases in which the vet was implied.

In a bar, an old man sugests to viewer, in talk with veternary, the terrible answer , the clues becoming clear .

The last scene is only confirmation about the darkest suppositions.

A film about a sort of murder, selfish , immature man, about lust and about the truth well known by simple farmers, ignored by officials.

A sort of policier , beautiful crafted, reminding old thrilling story from childhood.

Honest, I believe, is the fair term to define Fili. A young man, before graduation , trained by his father for football, passioned by theater, is admited at theater school.

A first show is a succes but the reaction of father, discovering the presumed new way in life of his son is not a pleasant one.

Like in each family, the essential role of mother to turn the things to good direction.

A simple story, wise crafted, touching for smart manner to reflect the dreams of parents for their children as recompension for their lost opportunities but, more important, beautiful reflection of love of father, respect of his decision, pure joy of true vocation.

Well acted, well crafted scene by scene.

I feel it as an authentic masterpiece. For soft- gentle- wise- tender definition of love. For precise portrait of grief and furies. For the put the images of new miscariage in soil. For cinematography. Not less, for great poetry defined by inspired cinematography.

The acting, indeed, it is one of precious virtues of this film about a lady very closed by Church, loving her husband, under pressure of guilt, looking for her answers to a cold reality . And discovering the fair definition for it.

Maybe, one of the greatest films about love who I saw in the last decade.

Because all is so wise crafted, scene by detail and gesture than , at the final, I admitt, I was profound.grateful to the director, admirable Lia Campbell.

The expression of Hanna Arendt is the first in my mind after final scene of this special short film about to kill , the confrontation of husband- father with the murderer, the connection between them and a gesture of justice, fury, frustration, angry, having as root the same evil animating the killer.

Well crafted, fair dialogue, inspired atmosphere, well crafted revelation. It reminds Gothic story of South USA but , more important , it is , for audience, generous kick to reflection about gestures, decisions, grief, the value of the life of other, Cain and Abel and the demons inside us.

In short, I feel it as remarkable definition of banality of evil.

A short gay film proposing, in melancholic manner, scenes of life of a couple, a presumed lady in light of radio song, near the Savior statue, an opening scene of frontal nudity and the change of town under pressure of real estate enterprise, imposing the move .

The air of end of world, sustained by each element of film - this is the main virtue of Flores , seductive for realism and for nice used simplicity, defining the meaning of encounter and the bitterness of near reality, the perspective about better future and the last encounters .

The men in bed , their naked bodies , reminding the Romanian miserabilism , for me, is the key of story, in same measure than the sad song.

In short, a correct film, beautiful for the fair crafted atmosphere.

A version of Hamlet in 12 minutes. Modern, fair, proposing the final gesture of Ophelia as end , a not so bad Hamlet and reducing at them entire story.

After so many adaptations, difficult to write more than nice try with reasonable result.

In short, an experiment, reflecting more grief and fury, couple life crisis and the familiar monologue front to mirror. Enough for be indulgent, maybe just appreciate the effort of director to propose a coherent - and very short - return to classic play, in minimalistic manner and supported by not so bad actors.

The virtue - the kick to rediscover the play.

Not remarkable short film but saved by twist and by some nudity, maybe.

A happy, beauty gay couple. A folder in laptop of one of them- photographer-, the worm of jealousy animating his partner and a huge mistake of the other, revange easy defined as root of the end of relation.

Sure, a childish story in good measure. But, more important, a film with precise target, for who the details are more significant than the story itself. And the three main actors being just beautiful, nothing wrong - except, in some measure,, too pretentious title- .

A good point- the sentimental end , fair for absence of fake solutions.

The moral problems fair exploration, from the loss of child to the support of father and first love of adoptive son , from the conflict against maire to the financial difficulties - just few virtues of this new part of series , fair defining sensitive subjects .

Difficult to compare or to judge .

Indeed, the main actors are too young for the social roles but the message matters first.

The result of the honest story is more a good spoon of emotions and, I suppose, nobady expects, in essence, more.

I liked acting , I liked moral dilemmas and the sacrifice for friends. Not last, I was not so real convinced about option for the role of Colette Doros. But, it is a nice episode of series.

For atmosphere, acting, hope - grace to neighbors- I just liked this film, part of series but nice pledge for a lost time values, proposing fair portrait of young couple at good start of their life.

Not knowing the books, enough for me appreciate the performances and cinematography, like the charming moral story about difficulties and decisions and the good neighbors and steps to integration in a new place.

Indeed, the memory about the first part just matters.

And a kind of lovely simplicity , source of form of nostalgia.

So, just profound pleasant film , decent in each aspect. And, in essence this is just all.

An evening. In strange circumstances, two women helping each other in tensioned moments provocked by men.

A lady in fight against her boyfriend after a party in which the woman was far by group standards.

A van an men in white , in van a woman , her freedom becoming work of first lady.

The boyfriend and the revenge of humiliated girlfriend.

In short, a prettz nice short horror, seductive especially for the violence, suggested in inspired manner, of prisoner from van against her jailers. In same measure, beautiful job of Anita Abdinezhad as Adrienne and the familiar but so expected final of film.

I saw this short animation like a confesion . Or precise slice from near reality. A young man looking for something out of everz daz ordinarz routine. The city, the people, the young people obn beach, the golden elephant - inspired metaphor and the sea as escape.

A game of director with audience experiences and memories, in fine, honest, clever manner.

Because all is more than familiar and provocative and well crafted.

Because you feel it as story inside yourself.

The result- precise portrait of youth, from frustrations to the desire to change the world or to escape from its womb.

And a beautiful film, not last grace to drawings and real images clash.

Charming can be the fair term to define this short animation. It is the eulogy to he grandmother, nice image of Shirt Guerillas, the amusing perspective about Haakon VII and his family and the inspired drawings giving to story a smart dose of seduction.

A lady ironing clothes, discovering, grace monogram, one of misterious clients identity, fighting , in period of Nazi ocuppation of Norway, in her precise, quasi - silly way , against ocupant, the origin of marriage and the motif to renounce at her job.

The basic virtue - the granny of Torill Kove can be yours, the beautiful tone defining her traits creating portrait of universal grandmother.

The basic motif for see it was the presence of John Malkovich , no doubts. The feeling seeing Seneca was about a most reasonable version of Caligula by Tinto Brass. Not for eccentricity or for kitsch, but for same fair reflection about power , apparences against deep reality, profound loneliness, fall of world and wisdome as imperfect tool, violence and death, about a Rome who escapes to a precise period for universal message, if it is not faithfull reflection of present .

The good point - the cast. And the admirable performance of John Malkovich. And the nice, sure, respecting a Hollywood recipe, portrait of Nero - the title the President reminds the novels of Garcia Marquez - .

A film who I like . For the irony who seems ignoring the limits, for one of last roles of Julian Sands, for Geraldine Chaplin as matrona refugied in artificial world, for young Louis Hofman and, not the last, I repeat, for Tom Xander as Nero.

Not deserves to be ignored Andrew Koji as Felix.

And for the try to remind essential values, so easy ignored by our time. Not last, for remind of more than significant name for European culture of Lucius Annaeus Seneca.

A fairy tale well crafted. Precise target, reasonable solutions, a charming prince and a young pragmatic - sweet writer , a residence and romance. The first virtue - it is beetter by many other royalty romances in Hallmark style.

And the acting is far to be bad, the crumbs of humor, the stories of main characters reflected in confessions, the portrait of be prince , the relation with old stuffs of uncle working more than nice.

In short, just a pleasant surprise , proposing a nice story, good acting and the resurrection of flavours of old fairy tales. And this is , in essence, exactly what can be expected from a film from this genre.

The first reasonable term to define it seems beautiful. For themes and fair exploration of each of them, for portrait of rural South of USA, for acting and the gentle / precise image of coming of age, for simple and inspired sketches of friendship, parenthood, romance and reconciliation with yourself.

Not last, for reasonable job of Mitchell Slaggert, expressing in honest way the vulnerability, rebellion, frustrations, full taste of liberty of moss.

A film reminding, in correct manner, the entire atmosphere of South, grace to cinematography , dialogue and the fair accents on gestures of characters.

A somnambulism young woman kils her neighbor and her children.

Two friends, for significant sum of money, test a new drug.

At the end, the connection between the two facts becomes clear.

Somnambulist is a new inspired demonstration of Mark kvitko about faur - precise manner to explore, in quasi poetic manner, sensitive themes.

The great part, not surprising, again, it is the final, reminding, in some measure, Marc Chagall paintings.

Two young men and the dirty trick of one of them as result of blackmail of powerful guy. A mission , mixing crumbs of old fairy tales and some noir film, with touch of western . And new good performance of Denis Sikirin.

An ordinary guy and his routine for new day. Precise, protecting the health, same for each hour, with roots in serious motivation.

And a detail-the sand, covering the house each day.

Nothing can stop it and the shower is not exactly efficient for wash it. But nothing bad - the new day is dominated by the healthy ritual . And the sand remains only a...detail.

In short, for irony and for nice recipe of healthy life, it is , maybe, just adorable. A nice short animation, with taste of parable , reflecting life style and deining the basic risk as a detail for...acomodation.

Remembering old Woman in the Dunes, it is just charming detail by detail.

I liked the old flavours of classic film noir , defined by twist, proposing fair image of plot science from a screenwriter decided to fix a dark gesture from past.

A film about power, using a suicide note, offering the levels of tension and gallery of masks, wise use of vulnerability of the other and his selfishness and the good image of fatal woman shadow, in this case, in male form.

In short, profound beautiful, with risk to feel it as real smart crafted scene by scene .

And inspired cold end , defining the perfect spider web for a sort of act of justice.

Indeed, the basic virtue - nice exploration of human behavior in crisis context.

A transport animals driver. His come back, after a time, at job. Three dogs in truck, clear papers, simple, at first sight, task. And a strange sound back , the curiosity, fear and doubts, questions and placid answers.

A great final.

Sure, what sees he ? What is the real identity of strange creature, named in papers as dog ? What hides the hurry of colector ?

Two basic virtues - admirable crafted tension and beautiful performance of Hector Bordoni. Not last, the serious fist of questions proposed to viewer.

In some measure, a parable about value of human life. And about the honesty of a driver , for who moral values just matters.

I do not know the book inspiring this short film.

I appreciated the story- simple, seductive, realistic in high measure. A teenager is attracted by the home, clothes, photos, diary, person of her neighbor. Against her mental health problems , against the preocupation of her caregiver and against the disparition of her girl.

The affection seems mutual and the desire to protect her new mother is real serious - not surprising for young girls.

Well performances, inspired cinematography, shadow of melancholia - ingredients of interesting story using, in fair way, a good game with nuances of ambiguity.

A group of teenagers run in a forest in presumed sport class. One of teens obtaining, from young mother, two cigarres, Bulied by two mates , withess of a heist against a corpse, after run, on a beach, layed on sand, looking to a young man in a ball , on sea.

First virtue - the cinematography , offering main support to young Egor Agarkov , the axis of his acting being the close up on his blue eyes.

Second - the effort of young man in ball to not fall.

Not the last, realistic situations and fair portrait of vulnerability of courageous teenager.

The feeling to see a Romanian film from last 1980 - beginning of 1990 remains the precious gift offered by film to me for gentle poetry of image , for the bitterness of story, easy discovered as parable.

A dispute between a young and not so experimented deputy sheriff and local car salesman . The key for solve the tension - the solution for a bizarre hostage negotiation, the sheriff in his duty, the salesman as negotiatior of comunity.

The final part offers a nice twist and a situation not very pleasant for too pragmatic salesman.

A nice ironic perspective about balance of power , the goofy guy being in advantage in this case , some remind of classic cartoons and a reasonable performance.

Nothing new or memorable but the fist of smiles represents exactly fair purpose of this pretty charming short film.
