Sally Field will always be Anora Walker for me. But this movie showed me why she’s an academy award winner. This is involving, dramatic, painful and a real good story about a mum searching justice for her daughter, and shows us that nothing is big enough for the love of a mum. Great directing, great script and AWESOME characters and casting.

This is not what I was expecting. I was expecting so much more. The idea of the film is good but not good executed. Hunter is great. She delivers a great performance as always but this movie is just NO. Still don’t remember what happened to her dad and her step-mum; I have a thought of that they were trying to make a sequel but don’t know if it’s happening, at all. Not entertaining and I was fighting to not sleep for the whole time. Anyways, Hunter, I love you, but make your manager study more of the scripts they give it to you.

This movie is so revolting, so moving, so true and so real that I was really shocked by the ending. I wasn't expecting something so shocking to come out of nowhere. Okay, I imagined that some disaster would happen, but not the one I actually saw. I understand her revolt, and I have to agree with everything she said; I would also be revolted to the point of not doing anything else; after all: she is not a maid, she was hired to take care of the madam's children, so why did the madam send her to do housework? And did she have to BEAT the girl? I would do worse, besides doing nothing. This movie did something that really made me feel trapped, suffocated and revolted. I wouldn't do the same thing as in the bathtub scene, but I would be revolted in a different way, because I was revolted the entire movie. ART!!!! I really wasn't expecting this, I thought it was going to be an unpretentious movie to the point of being entertaining, but I ended up completely revolted. I loved it a lot.

OK, I'd like to say that from now one: i only want movies like this! This one is a good debut for Zoë Kravitz. She did an amazing job directing and writing this feature, i truly believe she has a future in this profession; no doubts. Channing is amazing but, for me, the one who captures all the attention is Naomi Ackie. Can we talk about her for a sec? I don't think this could be any better without her or with someone else playing Frida. Adria Arjona is so damn beautiful and so damn good... i saw her on "Morbius" and already thought she was good but in here she is just GREAT! These two women are so good together on the screen that I had always expecting to them to survive. This film is SO GOOD! The only thing i didn't like is not knowing Sarah's aftermath. But other than that? AMAZING! Liked this one!

Ok now I think this one is good. Not that the others aren’t good but this one is very entertaining. I love the battles; the director did an excellent job on these scenes and also I think this is a piece of are. No doubt of that. I watched the extended version (04 feckin' hours and 24 minutes), I know, I was a warrior (sorry about this terrible joke), but it was worth it. Can’t wait to watch the Hobbit, because, maybe, it could be good as well. The only thing I don’t like these films are the names. There are too many difficult names in this vast universe and I don’t remember all the names. And I thought Gandalf would use more magic in the final battle but you know what? It’s okay, I understand. Good movie. I liked it!

This one has an incredible photography. I truly think it’s a beautiful piece of art but the ending doesn’t make sense, because I don’t felt the connection between Carlo and Dino. Truly didn’t feel it and don’t know why there’s too much of story behind the principal storyline. But it’s this is cinema. I liked it and recommend it. This is nice, a really nice Italian movie.

THIS IS SO ICONIC!!! OK, I have to say that people are gonna talk about this movie for decades! Demi Moore deserved the Golden Globes, Margaret Qualley you ARE amazing. This movie is so amazing, very entertaining and well directed and the colour grading and the colours of the scenes, the references... everything in this movie is so iconic. I loved how it plays with our reality and the message that it wants to transmit. Well done Coralie Fargeat, you are INCREDIBLE! I simply loved it!

The most high quality audiovisual material I’ve ever watched. I loved this one and felt the energy of the game and also the sexual tension between the three of them. I know for sure tha the two guys made it out somehow. Hahaha Love the directing here and the sound track in the match was a masterpiece. Loved it all. Just the ending for me was not what I was expecting to be. But that’s just a little pice of the whole story. Amazing!

OH. MY. GOD!!!! I was not expecting a gay story that could be so moving. Like… this is not ONLY about a gay couple. It’s about a relationship between a father and a son, a grandmother and a grandson, a guy with problems with not having the opportunity to do what he wants, not having his mother, alcoholism, casual sex and not having the caring of his family finding what is like to be taking care of. John's first love and fighting what struggles him for having this man from another country… this is so moving. Many times I was expecting something bad to happen because I don’t know why directors and writers make stories that gays can’t be together, but this one has a happy ending, and that’s very super fucking cute. I don’t know about you guys but this is being one of my favourite movies so far in 2025. I truly love this one. TRULY!

This movie is fine. Liked the part of the water. They innovated and that’s a plus. But as I was watching I was wondering: “I’ve seen this before”… all the time I thought I was watching the first movie once again. It was very similar. Not saying it’s a bad movie, that’s not the case. It’s a good movie, but I don’t think it’s THE movie, you know?


All the characters are amazing. Pedro Pascal is good. Paul Mescal as well… and I can see the character that Barry would be playing and all the time I was thinking: “Barry, that should be you!”, but I LOVE how the other actor played. I don’t believe not even Barry could delivery such a great performance. Joseph, you are star! Denzel, you are an inspiration!


This movie is very entertaining. And I liked it!

I’ll just say that this movie could be worst. The songs are AWFUL and Lady GaGa was a perfect waste of time in this one. I wish I could see more of her playing Harley FREAKIN' Quinn, but it was a perfect illusion, as the Quinn herself sings in her own song. 


Anyways, I blame the director. That’s all. I give a plus half of star bc I liked the colours of the movie. That’s it. Not even the photography saved. Anyways.


Be better next time, Todd. 👍🏾

This movie is so offensive in SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY WAYS! Oh my God... I don't even know how to describe the absurd it is, Jesus Christ.


Geez... let's just beging that the songs are awful, the performances are terrible and the story is horrible. This is an offense to all the mexicans in the whole world. First off, the DIRECTOR said that he didn't go to Mexico nor study about the culture because he "knows enough already". Man??? What's wrong with you???!?!!!! The casting director said that "There's no mexican tallent enough to play the characters". GIRL??? HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED SOMETHING FROM MEXICO?????????? Anyways... this one is garbage. I never thought I'd watch something so lame and I already watched bunch of crap but this one is another level. This is so feckin' ridiculous.

I feel sorry for all the mexicans out there, because it's a "french movie" directed by a french straight man about mexican's cartel, played but two american AND a SPANISH woman and talking about TRANSGENDER PERSON! OKAY that the spanish woman is a trans woman BUT SOMETHING WRONG IS NOT RIGHT IN HERE! THERE'S ONLY O N E mexican in the cast and she's not important for the movie AT ALL!!!!

And plus: this is an insult to all the trans people. I'm part of the LGBTQIAP+ community and felt so angry when they sing about sex reassignment surgery... this is SO wrong. This movie should be banned from all cinemas and the Netflix streaming. Netflix should be ashamed for making this piece of shit. Truly. I never thought I'd waste my time watching something so terrible and so offensive. MY GOD! Man, how can they talk bout such a delicate and important subject in a such cynical way?

Zoe, I love you and you can act and you're very tallent, but don't do things like this anymore, please... i beg you! Selena, I love you too, but don't put your efforts on craps like this.


The best part of the movie for me was the end... because it finished.



Anyways... can't even put stars on this one; can't rate it. This one is WAY BEYOND the worst movie I've ever watch in my entire life. No jokes. Mexicans, I'm with you... i hate this movie. Truly!

I don’t know why people call this movie a “real thing” or “incredible movie”… I was expecting a lot and received nothing. The only thing I really liked in this feature is the way it’s directed and also how they use and abuse of colours and lights. The colour grading in this one is remarkable and the lights gives us a good sensation of being part of the scene. I love how the use the green, red, yellow, blue and white… it’s beautiful to see. It’s a beautiful movie to see but not a good movie to entertain, at all.

This one was tough. Didn’t expect so much a powerful, dense and dark story. This movie is one of the greatest I’ve seen so far. And I still think how the hell Cillian's hair can be SO DAMN PERFECT in every scene even tho he was cover of coal.

Interesting story, I never heard of it and the script and the photography as long as the colour grading and the camera's plans were so well used it. I like this one.

I just wanna talk about the ending scene that I was expecting to see his wife receiving Sarah in her house for Christmas. But that’s all. I’ll always remember this film. Cillian Murphy you are ridiculous!! Love you, btw! 🫶🏾

I didn't like it. Truly. Keiran Culkin is a massive actor, but he ain't playing "Benji", he's be playing "Roman Roy" once again. I truly believe that Jesse Eisenberg deliveries a great performance in here and that's coming from a person that doesn't appreciate his work - i'm talking about me. The only thing I really liked in this feature is the photography and the colour grading; these things are the greatest things in this film and that's all. Not even the Kieran's character is likeble... he's a pain in the ass and I know that the "A REAL PAIN" means his and Jesse's characters pain, and the movie has a message about pain, grief, suffering and the difficulties of accepting that pain you feeling or someone next to you is feeling, but this movie is not entertaining at all. Did't like it and that's it.

Ok. I wasn’t expecting such an incredible performance from Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. I know they are A M A Z I N G but this movie showed me a side of them I didn’t know. And I was shocked when I saw the scene that they cut Almut's hair and Florence didn’t cry for loosing her hair; she is an A R T I S T! This movie is one of the greatest movies I watched so far this year (ok, it’s only begging). The only thing I didn’t like was not showing the death and/or the process of illness os Almut — I knot this is not the case in this movie, but I’d like to see it. But I loved it so much; the direction, photography, the colour grading, the script… it’s all well done. Amazing! Loved this one! 🫶🏾

It’s a good gay movie. It talks about boys who made mistakes but also a love story, I can say.

Beautiful to watch, beautiful how it was made, the performances, the photography… everything is amazing. I loved this one. Waaaay better than the “Hollywood version” with Henry Cavill. Julien de Saint Jean right now is my celebrity crush and it’s a pity that he’s not being seen for his amazing job on this one – people SHOULD look out for him. Very entertaining and very enthusiastic. Loved from the star to the ends.

I gave it 5 stars because it’s a well deserved movie. This one is incredible. I was about to quit this one because of the minutes… two fucking hours of movie and I don’t like movies that it takes too long to watching it. But this one catches you in a way that you don’t know how it catches; but it catches. Anyways, I loved the movie. I loved how it is directed and the characters are very interesting. Ani has my heart even tho some parts I was about to say to her to kick Ivan’s ass off and be with Igor. In my mind, she lives with Igor now. And talking about Igor, he has my heart and soul.

Yura's character is someone with almost no lines but he’s there, he has his presence in the film, but somehow catches you and you end it up liking him (not to say loving him). It’s clear that he has a crush on Ani and he’ll do anything for her and make her happy. But he can be with me, I don’t mind. Hahaha

Mikey is splendid. Just splendid! She made an incredible and wonderful performance on this movie. I think she deserves all the Hollywood's attention because she’s got talent and we already saw that on “Scream” franchise, but on this one she shows us why she is an actress.

I love the photography and also the colours used in this feature. The are crew made an excellent job and also I’d like to say that Ani's dancing scenes… we have to applaud the choreographer and Mikey because is sensational! 👌🏾 

This movie will always be in my mind. I loved it so much and don’t know why it is in comedy, because I don’t think it has even a little sense of dark humour”. Truly don’t know. But anyways… I loved it and recommend it! It’s very entertaining and you’ll like it from the beginning! I love you, Anora!

It was a great show. It’s an A- because they changed the ending. I didn’t like that. The book is honoured but except that ending scene. I loved it and recommend it. All the credits to the people who filmed and directed, edited and produced, and, also, who played the characters. Congrats to all of you!

Truly, I wasn’t expecting the ending scene. Didn’t like it. But it’s a good movie… don’t know why people are complaining about giving Brendan Fraser an Oscar tho; he’s good on this one. Sadie: I love you 🫶🏾 Ty: you’re good and I recognised you from the beginning, you were great (even tho it was just a little part in this movie). I liked it all, didn’t loved tho. I’ll recommend it.

Didn’t like that much. I thought the interpretation of the actors and actresses were amazing. But I didn’t like how the series turned out. And plus: still think they should be in jail for the rest of their lives for the crimes they made. Justice was made. And people should accept that.

I was expecting more. So much more. And blood. Never saw somebody putting something in someone else’s eyes and there’s no blood visible. But it’s a movie.

I never thought that the ending was supposed to be like that. Incredible. Should won tons of awards. Could not expect that someone would do a documentary about people and about that son  of a bitch in that way. Amazing and brilliant!

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Interesting and loved all the colours in this movie. The only thing I didn’t like that much was how long the feature is. Didn’t need almost 2 hours of if. But I loved it!

Horrible. The first one was terrible, this one is just horrible. Don’t know why people keep calling this movie “one of the best movies of all time” even tho this is not entertaining. For sure is “better” than the first one. And that’s all.
