90 89% | Parthenope (2024) - Rated 28 Nov 2024
"I didn't feel completely on pair with the rest of Sorrentino films but the bar is insanely high. It's an absolute beaut of a movie, I saw it as a representation of Napoli. Celeste Dalla Porta blew me away, I've finally found my favorite actress. And the beauty, mamma mia! There's more the movie, but you are left open to the interpretation. Sign of a great flick. Watched it in Italian without subtitles as a beginner so my view is definitely biased for idealism that I've generated along the movie."

88 77% | Fiore Mio (2024) - Rated 28 Nov 2024
"It is like a poetic journey gently gliding over the mountain, sharing the wisdom of people who find peace on it. Didn't even get it's a documentary until writing the review. Beautiful, like Otto Montagne."

74 26% | The Dig (2021) - Rated 28 Nov 2024
"It's not a bad movie but it loses the audience a little bit through its long narrative that feels a bit like it's trying to connect too many pieces, and it compensates this with peculiar performances that just don't seem natural. Overall the story is interesting and it's a nice insight into an interesting part of archeology. Would watch for the first time but would not re-watch."

76 31% | The Swimmers (2022) - Rated 15 Nov 2024
"A story that seems worth telling indeed, and while skillfully told there's room for improve the nuances. Feels romanticized and less gloom than reality. Which is fine, it's a movie. Not a sport's movie though, it's an European refugee crisis movie."

89 82% | Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) - Rated 13 Nov 2024
"Watching this in almost 2025 feels refreshing. The cast was perfect. I could be going older but I was laughing like a 16 year old at couple of scenes. It's cliché but the whole movie just feels so comfortable and soothing. Simple, no grand agendas or wokeism, just plain old having fun. I'll watch this one again."

80 45% | Spaceman (2024) - Rated 13 Nov 2024
"I was expecting less but once I started I was expecting more. There's so many ways this could be more amazing, but it goes for self-discovery love story with accidental Sci-fi theme and silly elements (that I don't completely dislike) to go along with it. It's unique but don't expect a serious Sci-fi flick. I do like the direction of Sandler this last decade."

84 62% | I Am Mother (2019) - Rated 24 Oct 2024
"Positively surprised considering I had low expectations. The movie could develop more on a philosophical side of AI/humanity/survival theme but they replaced that with good ol' action and tention scenes. I like the premise a lot and while they do challenge the viewer just enough to start thinking and wondering, they don't really succeed in bringing you to full immersion. Sci-fi to watch!"

51 3% | John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) - Rated 14 May 2024
"Holy shit talk about over the top! Packed with action, well rehearsed choreography and mindless shooting. At this point it just feels they're going for the movies kill record. It's like watching a video game but not playing. Very much liked the bird's view scene with flaming bullets, others are just more of the same. And passing of the time was before the sunrise was so awkward that I could barely stay focused. I won't be missing the series after such a bitter end."

95 99% | Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 07 May 2024
"IMAX. When Paul rides Shai-Hulud for the first time will go in my personal history as one of favorite moments in the cinema. Never has 3 hours passed so immersed and swift, wishing this was a 6 hour film. Slowly paced after all introductions to the universe (with Part One), Villenouve focuses on atmospheric immersion of Dune universe. It does not follow the book completely and world-building is much greater in the book, but this series is a great representation of it. One of the greatest sequels"

80 45% | Wonka (2023) - Rated 07 May 2024
"It does feel a bit magical and inspiring, especially in the beginning, but it slowly rolls out to be a rather average story with too many forced coincidences and confusing target audience. It's still an enjoyable but what could be a masterpiece ends up being a nice experience at the movies."
