Poor Things (2023)
A movie beyond movies
This film is an unconventional masterpiece.
A tale of fantasy perfectly executed in every aspect.
I would also call it an avant guard movie. As such,I suspect that half or more of the viewers will hate it.
It is fresh,a black and white and colour feast of the eyes and at the same time a bit shocking. It is worth every minute of its 2h21 minutes running time.
Words are poor things to describe this film. It would be better to start watching and form your own opinion.
If I could,I would give it more than 10 for directing masterful, acting sublime, style,sets and colour fantastic, script not one word wasted.
All the Light We Cannot See (2023)
A real waste of a story
Indeed they took a good story and ruined it.
The script is horrible. Today even a 15 year old writer would avoid such exaggerations of situations and feelings. And yet the f word is regularly repeated by Germans and French alike.
They depict ALL the Germans ,except the leading actor, as evil lunatics in a way that reminds B american war movies of the 60s.
The dialogues are shallow and mostly uninteresting.
There is no need for more in order to ruin a good story.
Yet one can find a few good things in this series. Cinematography is good ,direction is ok,the depiction of St Malo and the bombardments is very good and, at least for me, the little girl who plays Marie at the age of 7 is a wonderful surprise.
All in all this could have been much much better in the hands of an experienced script writer. Because what is a movie without a good one?
Mrs. Davis (2023)
Insulting to your intelligence
After a promising first episode all goes downward. What a bunch of mumbo jumbo. What a whirlpool of dumb ideas mixed with pseudo fantasy. How insulting must this be to every person with religious beliefs.
I really do not know where to start with this supposedly progressive and insulting series. As far as the non descript script is concerned there are whole sections which could be removed without affecting the plot. There are holes in the plot big enough to accomodate mt Everest.
And what about the f... word? Hardly 5 min. Pass without having someone shouting it to every direction.
And I come to the religious insults. Jesus and the Virgin Mary ,also the Pope, have acting roles in the story. I cannot go into details because even that would be blasphemous. At one time a guy curses Jesus with every possible variation of the f... word for at least 1 min. In fact Jesus and the Holy Mary are the only ones who do not repeatedly use the f... word.
How on earth did Warner Brothers ever approve this story and the way it was filmed?
You could say there's always the shut off button but you know what human curiosity is. I wanted to see how this charade would end.
If you wish to become accustomed to the f... word and see the incarnation of Jesus caress and mouth kiss the leading actress,if you wish to see MotherMary plot for some stupid,improbable reason,then do watch Mrs Davis!
Feldpost (2022)
Amateurish attempt
I am sorry to have to put this honest try at making a WWII film down. Unfortunately everything about this film except the authentic vehicles,is amateurish. Most of the actors,try as they may,cannot compete. The script is childish,often you strain to understand what the characters say,the cinematography is at least average. On the whole, this seems as a first attempt by a film student. On top of it all is the obvious lack of money as even the explosions seem a bit like firecrackers.
Gentlemen, you cannot present such a film to the public of 2022. Maybe this film could have a chance as a B movie in the 80s
However I have to admit that this is an honest try.
Dead for a Dollar (2022)
Very good indeed
I fail to understand the very low rate of the other reviewers.. Although I started watching it expecting to shut it down after the first dozen minutes,I found it very good in every aspect.
The script is excellent with never a dull moment and a couple of unexpected turns. Cinematography and directing,apart from the sapia color they chose to use ,very good. Acting ,especially Rachel Brosnahan's,tops. Christoph Waltz his usual low profile but effective character with the amiable accent. Excellent sound,you never miss an s. Music is nothing spectacular but its use is limited any way.
Do not miss this one out because of the bad reviews.
