Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022)
Disney type sexy movie
I found this movie rather boring and non convincing. The sex atmosphere is actually very weak, the gigolo has a bambi smile and glowing eyes, he looks more a character for a Disney movie. Emma's character "never had an orgasm in her whole life", which is a clichè too much used in film industry. Her husband at sex was too fast and too selfish (again the authors' creativity not excelling). Dialogues are going in circle, not particularly entertaining and quite predictable. In a movie that has no action at all and is shot all in one room this is quite a problem, The ending however had a twist and was quite surprising and entertaining but not enough to compensate for the rest.
True Story (2015)
Lacks an interesting plot
While there is really good acting I think the story is really missing. Ok I know there's a big crime that has happened, but that was not the story that was told here. The relation between Chris and Mike is the core of the story and there is not much to be said. A journalist interviews a criminal to write a book and the criminal does not tell the truth. Seriously what did you expect him to do? While some dialogues are really intense, there is no evolution to this relationship, the story never develops anywhere and no big self-revelation for the journalist. Dull.
L'odore della notte (1998)
Not great
When you are asking yourself what reason moved the director to create a film, then that means you didn't enjoy it. But really what was the message he wanted to give? Was this a great plot? Not really; just a story of robbers that at the end are caught by the police. Was it about the way he intended to tell the story? In that case is it about the dialogues, the intensity of the characters or a certain Roman mood or state of mind he wanted to recreate? Again, not really succesfull. This part was a bit better than the plot, but not enough to go through all the effort to create a film. I do not recommend this.
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Nothing you haven't already seen one million times..
Seriously rating 8.3? This is meant to be one of the best movies of all times? I was really bored to death! Endless fighting scenes with nothing that we haven't already seen a zillion times: PIM-PUM-PAM superhero falls but then stands up and fights back PIM-PUM-PAM and the other superhero falls down. There are no fresh ideas, not even the slight effort to show something a minimum original or new. The plot is all but credible, full of ridiculous dialogues and impossible to believe behaviors. And when you don't have ideas you have to fill the void with a lot of superheroes - so many that you will lose yourself and ask why FART-MAN didn't turn up for a go! From a technical point the fighting scenes are also of very poor quality - it looks like many frames are missing from the shooting and these scenes do not come out smooth and are quite disturbing for the eye (looks like a 1970's camera was used).
