"delicately handles its subject. short and strong movie."

"yes, it's too long. but there's some authenticity about this film that it makes me take it seriously. at some point i forgot i was watching a film, i was really invested in it, that doesn't happen very often. the framing/visuals a bit too sterile for my taste. oh, when the actors were doing the play, sometimes they're doing it so well that you aren't sure if they are in or out of the role. i thought that was a clever idea."
60 14% The Help (2011) - Rated 21 Jun 2023
"The idea is good which is based on a novel anyway but it's watered down. it doesn't have any subtility or grace in the way it communities racism. Leans its back too much to the performance of actors, that doesn't do any good for the film neither. I think it's not wrong to say the script is pretty bad."
80 51% Double Indemnity (1944) - Rated 30 Apr 2023
70 32% Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) - Rated 30 Apr 2023
"Pacing feels weird, it ends abruptly. While there are some interesting bits, a bit too melodramatic even for its time for me. Though it's pleasently surprising how the lead woman was written."

"it keeps you on the edge, watching one episode after other. But there are lots of filler scenes and dragged out scenes, I don't think it's worth the time. it's also predictable. one merit it has is a very unique visual style. other than that, you could definitely live without seeing this one. if you have time to waste go ahead (like when you're sick laying with little energy, though keep in mind it's pretty dark)."
