KVINDEN DER DROEMTE OM EN MAND

Watchable. An unfaithfulness case study which is involving, well-paced and toned down. Its only fault is predictability. The woman inevitably falls in love, the man doesn't. What I really liked was the language plausability - you here authentic Dutch, English and Polish where appropriate

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

Watchable. For true fans only. Of course I was curious of the genesis of the characters and Magneto's story turned out particularly plausible. But, with little interest in history, the Cold War struggle was utterly boring for me and the 140 minutes proved to be lengthy rather than packed with action and fun. In addition James McAvoy was fat.

KYNODONTAS (DOGTOOTH)

Watchable. While the film shows how limited cognition leads to perverting character it's not anywhere near as shocking as "Enter The Void" was. While the story captivates, the editing is quite austere and monotonous, practically dogma style.
