18TH DOCS AGAINST GRAVITY FESTIVAL
SIEDEM POKOI (SEVEN ROOMS)
Recommended. Seven budding filmmakers have created a professionally looking documentary which offers a glimpse into other people's lives during the first lockdown as they're attempting to spend the time pleasantly and meaningfully: from large flat screens through scrabble to dress-ups and tango. You see young couples in love, a dying grandpa, a cute rabbit. The films are moving, on one occasion funny: "Your friend is kasza" "She's Kasia (kasza is a type of food). The whole production is heart-warming, shot at the time when people cared about one another.
PAW PATROL: THE MOVIE
Recommended. A light and cheerful animated actioner with antropomorphized dog protagonists where Chase goes through the same insecurities young children often experience so the tale is perfectly relatable for kids. Adventure City Mayor Humdinger must be a deliberate send-up of Donald Trump since he's blonde, resides in Humdinger Heights and refuses to leave the tower which is about to tumble down. Nearly al the songs are in the English original, the dialogues are dubbed in Polish in this country. Atmos sound facilitates immersing yourself in the adventure.
NYMPHOMANIAC: VOL. I
Recommended. There is some racy content that the title implies but it's predominantly a captivating psychological thriller. The star-studded cast includes Charlotte Gainsbourg, Uma Thurman, Christian Slater, Stellan Skarsgard, Shia LaBeouf but the lead is Stacy Martin, all strong performances in original roles. The movie explores the psyche of a female sex addict from early years into adulthood. Unique.
