DISOBEDIENCE
Recommended. The story unfolds slowly, revealing information piecemeal, to hit you hard towards the end. There is plenty of on-the-screen chemistry between the two women lovers. Alessandro Nivola is fantastic as the would-be-rabbi stricken by the fear of loss and fighting between his love and common sense.
TWO TAILS
Watchable. The animation meets all the criteria of correctness. The cat, the beaver and the bear look like huge cuddly toys. The plot doesn't make much sense though. Quite a lot of fragments of classical music: Wagner, Strauss II, Bach are used.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT AT IMAX
Recommended. I just love the scene where Hunt is running towards Tate Modern. When I worked there and was in a hurry in the morning I would run there too. But on the more serious note, what struck me first was poor cinematography. I expected it to be top-notch for Imax and for a bigger part of the film it's below average. It doesn't even attempt to impress with the beauty of otherwise spectacular cities of Paris and London. The only visuals which stand out are Rebecca Fergusson and Vanessa Kirby's eyes - glistening, with reflections and highlights. But the finale, set in Kashmir (New Zealand and Norway in reality), with aerial and mountain sequences, is mind-blowing and well merits the Imax screen. The music's great from start to finish. Simon Pegg has got full grasp of a dramatic role. In fact, he's as amazing as he used to be in comic ones. As for the humourous part, we get: "Hope is not a strategy." "Ah, you're new." Combat scenes use martial arts techniques, including judo - rarely used in movies. The plot gets better and better culminating in a spectacular finale. I left the cinema in awe.
