ADDAMS FAMILY 2
Recommended. The storyline is partly similar to the previous cartoon where the Addams' world and the ordinary life collide, partly different - like in superhero flicks there is a mad super rich scientist, Wednesday has school science competition aspirations and an experiment goes horribly wrong. But it's the same delightful family with their odd habits. And some rational ones: Thing uses a hand sanitizer and Wednesday "has been keeping social distance since she was born". The story takes you on a tour through the south of the US, with peculiar Addams' attractions and certain stranger's hunchmen in their wake. The finale ties up any loose ends. And you enjoy Bartek Fukiet's translation into Polish dubbing again. The theme music, even though a bit scarce in this instalment, still kept playing in my head long after leaving the cinema.

SZEP CSENDBEN (ON THE QUIET)
Watchable. Sometimes there's a thin line between sexual harassment and caring attention. This writer's debut movie deals with such a case, showing it from a few people's perspectives but, as we only see what the characters do, observing the developments from the outside, their motives remain unclear.
What I said earlier about the legibility of subtitles or sound volume on mojeekino.pl remains true.
ANTLERS
Watchable. Quiet, yet perpetually cloudy and gloomy Oregon. The tale is psychologically true and becomes more and more gripping as the action develops. Dark pictures build a climate and one scene sees the teacher's black silhouette in a doorway, lit blue and red from the back by a police car as she enters the monster's den - almost like a female James Bond in a horror realm. Another time an insect buzzing sound surrounds you. Skillfully made. But horror-wise it's not only not really scary but even quite rubbish - people turn gradually into legendary bloodthirsty monsters - how many times have you seen that? Or school bullying and adults' horrible childhood reminiscences - also trite. Predictable and skippable.
The ladies' in KinoGram is amazing: the restroom mirror tells you you're beautiful and it's sealed with Marilyn Monroe's kiss.
