Movie reviews

and the remaining festival reviews:

HABER

Watchable. The way the movie was filmed seems a bit too theatrical and too little cinematic but the story is interesting and the final message stays in memory.

LITTLE ASHES

Watchable. The movie is a bit too nostalgic and sentimental. The makers seem to have believed the lives of celebrities would sell themselves per se. Still, it tells a story of a little known aspect of Dali's and Lorca's lives.

NO THROUGH ROAD

Watchable. A thriller with good suspense but with too much standard movie violence at the end.

ONE DAY REMOVALS

Watchable. This movie also looks a bit too theatrical rather than cinematic and has some lengthy bits between the absolutely hilarious gags and some good lines. As a comedy great, just looks a bit amateurish - that's the only problem. Still, I'm really happy to have got the DVD after the screening.

THE RIND (LA CASCARA)

Watchable. The story is quite weird and about nothing in fact but the mystery keeps you watching.

RUNNING WITH MUM

Watchable. Too many silly interviews in this doc but you hear unknown facts about the war and when you focus on the info you can easily imagine the events as if you were there.

SENSELESS

Watchable. The story about a captured and tortured man keeps you in suspense throughout and has one good twist but again, feels like another "Hostel" wash-off.

TURTLES ARE SURPRISINGLY FAST SWIMMERS

Watchable. This comedy is constantly on the verge of being funny.

WHO IS K K DOWNEY?

Walked out. The movie is about total weirdos. It was really hard to identify myself with any of the characters.
