THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
Watchable. It's more about a woman who devoted her life to nurturing her disabled husband only to be betrayed by him with a nurse. It still shows Hawking's strong personality and will to survive. Altogether, in spite of superb acting, it's mediocre.
LA FORCE MAJEURE
Watchable. A quiet drama about how one little unsettling incident can grow into permanent fear. A plus is a wide array of different lifestyles portrayed, a minus its slow pace and making a mountain out of a mole hill, as I see it.
CARTE BLANCHE
Watchable. Not as good as the trailer implied, with some protracted sequences, nevertheless altogether interesting in the way the protagonist managed to hide his blindness taking advantage of others who often found it convenient to turn a blind eye.
P'TIT QUINQUIN
Watchable. Weird. The criminal intrigue is involving, crimes peculiar, characters even more so. It's a dark comedy which made me smile several times but not laugh out loud. It's too long for sure, those 197 minutes could have been shortened. At the same time I kind of miss the police chief with his ticks and the film's bizarre philosophical humour and would like to see part two, especially that the film lacks a clear-cut ending. The storyline and grotesque form are incomparable with any other film and while many people were laughing loud, many left too.
THE NIGHT OF CINEMA
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Walked out. A talking raccoon, a tea creature, a man listening to old rock and a green woman together with interesting scenography won't compensate for a downright stupid plot.
JESSABELLE
Watchable. I expected better. It was more annoying than scary. The local voodoo folklore and the birth mystery kept me till the end. Other than that it's skippable.
BOGOWIE
Watchable. Really good, almost a comedy, with brilliant dialogues and situational humour. Well-paced, it showed absurds of living under communism. Religa was an admirably strong personality. It ends all too suddenly.
JOHN WICK
Recommended. Music in film matters. I knew I was going to enjoy it already after watching a trailer. The movie doesn't disappoint either. But, while I imagined that it would be a mindless shootout, it far surpassed my expectations: the jargon, the cinematography, the plot, acting and the music of course were superb. Great idea with the hotel for hitmen. It was really fun.
