I think this movie altered my state of being

Jay took so long to pass that, girl get up, you don’t need to look for The One, it’s a curse. You would see me on a dating app as soon as I found out I had STD in entity form !

The premise is simple, after a sexual encounter, Jay (Maika Monroe) is cursed with a relentless entity that takes on human forms and follows her slowly but incessantly. To escape, she must “pass it on” to someone else, that’s it.

Although It Follows has an interesting premise, the film didn't captivate, the slowed pace just didn't work for me, several scenes were monotonous, repetitive and the initial sense of paranoia was fading as the plot lacks significant developments for extended periods. The characters' unconvincing decisions was a problem as well, it's hard to believe they would do such reckless and senseless things in a life or death situation. The striking soundtrack and cinematography did not compensate for the script's problems, making the experience disconnected.

Why did you guys make me watch this…..it’s so disturbing and traumatizing that I feel like it would be wrong to resume it into a rating. Deeply profound, the story sheds light on the often misunderstood reality of those who endure childhood abuse and are left to cope with it on their own. It explores how each individual finds a unique way to escape or survive their trauma, revealing the complex and personal nature of their struggle to endure the pain. I think i’ll have nightmares.

I literally saw DOZENS of people with this in their top 4 (one of the reasons that influenced me to watch) and that’s insane, guys are you okay?

Emma Stone is just insuperable in this one, the movie itself is not thaaat revolutionary, it’s a teen movie but she elevates its level. Her charisma stands out as she effortlessly commands the screen with impeccable comedic timing, making Olive Penderghast an irresistible protagonist. Additionally, her skillful use of humor brings life to the sharp and witty dialogue, turning potentially over-the-top situations into something authentic and entertaining.

Even though the film is from 2010, it carries a very recent critique, like, why were they so worried and bothered about the protagonist's sex life?? It addresses themes such as moral judgment, slut-shaming, and the double standards of sexual behavior imposed on women—issues frequently at the heart of debates between progressive and conservative views. 

Marianne (played by Amanda Bynes) exemplifies this in a highly caricatured manner. She is a young religious student who leads a group condemning Olive, portraying intolerance and moralism in an exaggerated way. The objective is NOT to problematize religiosity at all but to show that some use religion to marginalize and control others. Faith is something personal, people should be free to live according to their own values rather than being pressured to conform to societal expectations.

However, “Easy A” is not entirely partisan or preachy. It balances its critique with humor and lightness, allowing the audience to reflect on these themes without feeling alienated or attacked. I love Olive and my pfp, as you can see, is her. ♡

I don’t care what people say, this movie is awesome. Could have been better? Yeah, but anyways.

I just watched it for Anya Taylor-Joy but the film clearly has his signature. An exceptional work, focused on the mythology and symbolism of Norse culture and based on the “Amleth” legend, the same one that inspired Shakespeare to write “Hamlet”. The story is not one of the most original, but it is very well developed, Eggers does not shy away from portraying the darker aspects of Vikings, such as slavery, the brutality of warfare, and ritual sacrifices.

It has mesmerizing photography and landscapes, features impeccable performances and the battle scenes are great. Despite that I think it only fails in two aspects: predictability and it could have a little more of boldness, but otherwise it's a very good movie.

My inner child and I if we were a movie..

And in the end the romance between two ill people is one of the best genres that cinema can offer. When it’s gonna be my turn?  💔

Im watching it right now and I've never been so lost while watching a movie, tf is happening

Okay I just finished it, and also found out what he meant by having a pig's brain………………………………………………………….. 🧍🏻‍♀️

Throughout the film, we are presented with various perspectives on the unfolding events. Through flashbacks and accounts from family members, friends, and teachers, we are encouraged to piece together the puzzle. In the first two acts, I found myself angry at the mother, the boy, the teacher, the principal—such snap judgments, weren’t they? Then comes the third act, delivering a monumental blow that makes you shrink in your seat: how could I have thought all that without considering the perspectives of the two boys? OHMYGODDDDDD. The depiction of the children’s innocence that was beautifully handled; they couldn’t quite grasp their emotions, yet they stayed close, united by a shared sense of something they couldn’t fully articulate.

I recognize It's a good movie, but to tell the truth, it didn’t stay with me as I thought it would. The first two acts of the film are a test of patience and when I get to the third act, which is where the high point of the film is, I was already tired but I did tried to love this.

She got a massager as a xmas present !!  

Ok I didn't know I needed to see Sabrina and Chappel singing together until I watched this, their voices fit so well. I’M OBSESSED.

Ranking of covers:
- Last Christmas with Chappel Roan
- This Christmas with Tyla
- I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus with Kali
- Santa Baby with Shania

I don’t even know what to write, I've been crying since the movie ended and I don't even know why for anymore. (the song that plays in the end credits didn't help at all either 

Such a powerful movie and it especially touches those who miss their childhood and innocence. The story follows four 12-year-old friends living in a small town in the 1950s who embark on a journey to find the body of a missing boy. The film portrays the friendship of these four boys in such a beautiful and sincere way, exploring it without filters, showing moments of joy, conflict, support and vulnerability. It captures the transition period between childhood and adolescence, when friendships are intense and related to meaning. There is a moment when Gordie cries and says what his father usually says to him and Chris responds: “He doesn't know you.” This scene stayed with me, it's so weird to know that some of our friends know more about us than our own parents, isn’t it?

“I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?” 

“Kids lose everything unless there’s someone there to look after them.”

“Friends come in and out of your life, like busboys in a restaurant.”

“Senna” delves into the journey of legendary Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna, tracing his early days in motorsport to his rise as a global icon, featuring Gabriel Leone in the lead role. 

It's a series that focuses much more on his career than his personal life, is not a Senna’s biography like the wonderful 2010 documentary but about his races. He was portrayed as a hero, like the incredible racer he was and like the idol he was treated during his career, there were rare moments that portrayed him as who he was inside, he was a reserved person, sometimes he got stressed, fought, even combative. On the track, what he did was fun to him, facing the “big guys” in F1 like it was nothing. Man was addicted to his own work. To understand this retraction it is important to remember historical contexts, Brazil was going through so much anguish with the post-dictatorship governments that seeing a Brazilian being a winner was a relief in a bitter atmosphere. Even knowing this, I wish there was more of who he really was, it didn't add much more than I already knew about him.

The series is just "good", exciting, touching, the acting is great, the casting choice is impeccable, the production quality is surprising for a Netflix original and I think it was a sensitive representation, as if showing him as someone who also made mistakes would affect how we feel about him (we know that his family had a lot of involvement in this, which must have made many aspects difficult). However, some moments that were crucial weren’t there, it should have at least 8 episodes, it should have the seasons of 86, 87, 92 and 93 with their anthological runs since it’s about his career. It deserved a last episode as a requiem of the last year of his life, how he was, etc, but then Adriane Galisteu would enter the story, someone his family abhors. There was plenty of material...in any case, I can't say that as a whole I didn't like it. Anyway, what I want to say is that they owed to the “character” itself and not to the series, as it is of good quality.

Damn it's been a long time since I laughed so much at a movie. (I always look for the most depressing movies possible).

The film features violence, nudity, conspiracies, and murder, yet it skillfully maintains a lighthearted tone by weaving humor into the dynamic between its two protagonists. What truly stands out in The Nice Guys are the characters themselves, brought to life with distinctive quirks and traits that make them both memorable and engaging. Their unique personalities drive the story and provide a perfect balance to the darker elements of the plot.

“What are you doing?”
“I was giving you a rimjob.”
“Rimshot!...Rimshot.”

It’s kinda cute but it’s so mediocre when it’s compared to the first one, you know. A coconut’s spin off would be better than this for sure.

The film is confusing, repetitive, the script is weak, and at some point it was getting boring. The movie tries to pack in a lot of information and ideas, this overload ends up working against it. The rushed pacing makes it hard to explore key elements, leaving many plot points and new characters underdeveloped, which makes it hard for the audience to connect or fully understand some of the choices made. The songs are a collection of phrases without a chorus, shouted and jumped. The new characters didn't say what they came for. In short, a shame. 

But on the other hand it can be a solid family film, It's funny and might even get a few laughs, especially from children. The animation was lighter and prettier, but that's all “Moana 2” can offer.

I just love when the trope is the cranky lonely old man who turns out to be the sweetest human being to ever exist.

Watching “The Holdovers” feels like wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket on a snowy night. It’s comforting, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt. The film strikes a perfect balance between humor and emotional depth, drawing you into its world of unlikely friendships. 

What really stands out are the characters, I fell in love with all of them. Paul Giamatti nails the mix of grumpiness and hidden vulnerability, while Dominic Sessa perfectly captures the awkwardness and struggles of being a teenager. Da’Vine Joy Randolph adds so much heart with her warmth and quiet grief, rounding out a trio of characters you can’t help but care about.

By the end, it’s like you’ve spent time with old friends. It’s a movie that stays with you and leaves you smiling in a bittersweet way—a truly wonderful watch.

Pls someone see this i need similar recs 😭

I always have been obsessed with this movie, and after watching it several times over the years, I realized that it is not a film about sensuality or bdsm. Lee is a weird girl that because of her mother, she was never allowed to mature, she’s very socially awkward, represses feelings ( she physically hurt herself sometimes ), has problems with her father, in short, she has countless problems. At the beginning of the movie she has just left the psychiatric hospital and shows difficulty living outside the hospital, she says she liked the hospital rules that made her life easier and that she didn't know how to live without someone telling her what to do.

She starts working as a secretary for Edward Grey, who also has his problems, he doesn't accept himself the way he is, he has some “peculiar tastes” and thinks he doesn’t deserve love because of that. When Lee starts working for him, they start to develop this bdsm relationship. It's not romantic at first, if it were I would even say that the film would be a bit about abuse of power on Edward's part, but Lee consents to everything, she loves having someone telling her what to do. And because of this relationship, she begins to free herself, faces her mother and even gets a boyfriend.

Many people forget that this is about two weird people because of the fetishes and end up feeling uncomfortable. They matched each other’s freak and that’s so romantic :(

wow marriage looks so much fun

the emotional cost of conforming to imposed social roles and the devastating impact of stifled dreams.

no because why the hell I decided to rewatch this at 12am on a random thursday??? steve carell is the man who has made me cry the most in my life.

Review language: 🇧🇷/🇺🇸

Imagine que você está em sua casa, em um dia normal e chega seis agentes e levam seu marido. Nunca mais você viu ele e tudo que você soube é que ele foi torturado, morto e que desapareceram com o corpo. É uma das histórias de crueldades da ditadura militar brasileira.

Um filme muito lindo e extremamente necessário para uma sociedade que sofre de uma gravíssima falta de memória histórica. É quase inacreditável que existam pessoas que ainda negam a existência de uma ditadura no Brasil, que minimizam os acontecimentos ou que até mesmo tentam justificar a mesma com o argumento de que trouxe “ordem e progresso”. Minimizar os crimes da ditadura desumaniza as pessoas que sofreram e lutaram por liberdade, violando o direito à memória coletiva. A suposta "ordem e progresso" do regime veio à custa de violações massivas dos direitos humanos (torturas, assassinatos, censuras e perseguições políticas) e de uma dívida social e econômica que afeta o Brasil até hoje. O reconhecimento e a discussão desse período é indispensável para fortalecer a democracia, honrar os que resistiram e garantir que os abusos não sejam esquecidos ou repetidos.

E sobre o Oscar, acredito que ele não importa, mas é claro que estou torcendo para que o prêmio seja de Fernanda Torres. O Oscar é uma premiação focada na indústria de cinema dos Estados Unidos, então ele reflete mais o gosto e as prioridades de lá. Por exemplo, ele favorece filmes em inglês e, muitas vezes, deixa os filmes estrangeiros limitados a categorias específicas, como “Melhor Filme Internacional”. Apesar de ser prestigiado, o Oscar também é muito comercial e político, ou seja, ele não é o maior reconhecimento artístico. Fernanda Torres é mais do que uma artista; ela é uma força criativa que inspira, sua autenticidade e profundidade em cada trabalho a tornam uma das grandes personalidades culturais do Brasil e superior a muitas possíveis concorrentes no cenário internacional, nós sabemos do que ela é capaz então não cabe aos norte americanos rotulá-la. Como Isabela Boscov disse: “Esse filme é nosso", independente do resultado ele mexe com a nossa ferida, fala da gente e pra gente.

————————

Imagine that you’re at home on a normal day when six agents arrive and take your husband. You never see him again, and all you find out is that he was tortured, killed, and his body disappeared. This is one of many stories of cruelty from the Brazilian military dictatorship.

A profoundly beautiful and necessary film sheds light on a society suffering from a severe lack of historical memory. It is almost unbelievable that there are still people who deny the existence of a dictatorship in Brazil, minimize its atrocities, or even try to justify it under the guise of bringing “order and progress.” Minimizing the crimes of the dictatorship dehumanizes the victims who suffered and fought for freedom, violating the collective right to memory. The so-called “order and progress” of the regime came at the cost of massive human rights violations—torture, assassinations, censorship, and political persecution—and left a social and economic debt that still affects Brazil today. Recognizing and discussing this period is essential to strengthening democracy, honoring those who resisted, and ensuring that such abuses are neither forgotten nor repeated.

And about the Oscars, I believe it doesn’t matter much, but of course, I’m rooting for Fernanda Torres to win. The Oscars are a ceremony focused on the U.S. film industry, reflecting their tastes and priorities. For instance, it often favors English-language films, with foreign films mostly confined to categories like “Best International Feature”. Despite its prestige, the Oscars are highly commercial and political, meaning they don’t represent the ultimate artistic recognition. Fernanda Torres, however, transcends such awards; she is a creative force that inspires. Her authenticity and depth make her one of Brazil’s most significant cultural figures, far superior to many potential competitors on the international stage. We already know what she’s capable of, so it’s not up to the north americans to define her worth. As Isabela Boscov said, “This movie is ours.” Regardless of the outcome, it touches our wounds, speaks about us and to us.

this is “good luck, babe” by chappel roan !

148 minutes of paul mescal’s big arms 👀

“Gladiator 2” is a film that tries to honor the legacy of the original, but doesn't achieve the same emotional strength. A competent visual spectacle, but lacking in character and narrative development, it lacked the emotional impact and depth of the original. Despite the solid performances and Ridley Scott's competent direction, the film struggles to predict its existence beyond being a tribute to the success of 2000. It's a cinematic experience that's worth the spectacle, but leaves something to be desired in what really matters: a meaningful connection with the public and an unexpected plot.

Lucius' story could have been more complex, exploring more of his internal struggle with his father's legacy and his rise to power. The plot seems more like an excuse for battles and action scenes, to the detriment of the human drama that supported the first film. In terms of production, “Gladiator 2” maintains a high standard, but the script choices and character development compromise the experience. Harry Gregson-Williams soundtrack, on the other hand, is one of the high points, evoking the necessary emotion to balance the plot's flaws.

My expectations were very high, unfortunately they weren't met and I know many people will feel that way too. But I won’t lie, my expectations weren't completely frustrated, it was a pleasurable and fun watch and…you know…pedro, paul AND DENZEL. Go check this out anyway.

Sean Baker is the love of my life, everything he does I automatically connect with so I had a feeling this was one of those rare films that demanded to be seen as soon as possible, and I’m so glad I trusted my instincts.

Right from the start, it was clear how magnetic lead actress Mikey Madison’s presence is. I’ve been aware of her work but hadn’t given her much attention so I thought it would be a good idea to watch Anora since she would be starring in it ( I literally watched it for her and left so down bad for Igor 😵 ). Her performance in this film isn’t just the best of her career; it’s one of the year’s standout performances. She brings an infectious energy to her character that leaps off the screen. The first half of the film thrives on that energy, giving viewers a vibrant taste of what it means to feel truly alive. The music, atmosphere, cinematography, and ensemble cast create an intoxicating mix that feels like an invitation to join the fun. It’s almost as if you’re right there with the characters, soaking in the carefree joy.

Then, just when you think the film couldn’t get any better, the second half flips everything on its head.

Around the midway point, the storytelling takes a bold turn, transforming the tone and raising the stakes. The writing and performances hit new heights, delivering some of the sharpest comedic moments I’ve seen in a long time. The main actress continued to impress me, but what truly stood out was how the supporting cast stepped up, turning secondary characters into people I genuinely cared about. Their chemistry and depth elevated the entire experience, making the film something truly special

And about the the ending, what a incredibly moving scene. In my interpretation, when Anora lets out that big final cry, she was finally vulnerable, relieved and feeling safe with a man. Despite this, I don't think Anora and Igor will still have anything after that, I think it was about her finally having that sense of hope that she had lost centuries ago.

I don’t think I’ve ever been faced with such a huge moral dilemma thanks to cinema. “The Hunt” (Jagten, 2012) is a Danish drama about Lucas, a kindergarten teacher whose life is shattered when a child falsely accuses him of abuse. The small town he lives in quickly turns against him, leaving him isolated and facing hostility. The film’s realism is intense, showing how fragile trust can be in a close community. As Lucas loses his family, friends, and even his sense of self, we see the painful effects of being unfairly isolated. The cinematography is simple but effective, using a slower pace to make us feel Lucas’s sense of being trapped and alone.

Klara, the child who makes the accusation, besides being Lucas' student, is also the daughter of his best friend, thanks to this proximity, Lucas visits her house a lot, which logically makes her close to him too. The teacher, at the beginning of the movie, shows himself to be almost a father figure to Klara, he takes her to school, takes her away when her parents are fighting, etc. Klara, confuses her affection for  her teacher, as a kind of “crush.” Children are still learning about emotions and boundaries, so they can easily misinterpret gestures of care, I’m not sure if that was exactly her case but it showed that she was very exposed to fights and things that are not for her age, like the things her brother did and showed her. Sexual harassment was what Klara suffered in the family environment, from her brother. After all, it is part of Klara's brother's daily life to watch pornography, this constancy favored Klara's contact with this type of content. In a specific scene, the brother, together with a friend, openly shows Klara part of a pornographic film and describes it. The child, due to her young age, was unable to discern the seriousness of applying what was seen to another person. In the following scenes, when nurturing a passion for Lucas, she “confesses her feelings” to him, he immediately warns the girl that it was not right and that she could not do that to anyone. Frustrated with the warning, she tells a story based on what was shown to her by her brother and begins another type of harassment, moral harassment.

It is indeed a very distressing film because we, the spectators, know the truth, but then we put ourselves in the shoes of the people around him because the type of accusation made is not something people normally doubt about. If I were one of the people who loved Lucas, like his son, I wouldn't know what to believe and the pain of watching him be destroyed by a lie would be overwhelming. But as the pressure from the community grew, and the accusations gained momentum, I would feel the weight of the doubt creeping in. But if I were just a person who knew him, without much closeness, the feeling of "justice" l'd experience by following the majority would be a mix of fear and relief. The brutality of the people who believed the accusations reflects the human nature of acting out of fear, not reason. As part of that crowd, I could easily convince myself that, even without concrete evidence, my aggression was justified in ensuring the safety of everyone.

In all these perspectives, pain and loss are felt differently, but with an inescapable intensity. The film challenges the viewer to reflect on how fear and doubt can shape our actions and how those who love or hate can be equally devastated by the violence of a false accusation. “The Hunt” is a harrowing portrait of how human relationships can be shattered when trust is broken and the truth is obscured.

Can we just let Andrew’s characters be happy with a blonde with bangs please :(

Emotional connections shape our lives. This movie reminds us of the importance of living intensely in the present and valuing the people around us, as time is fleeting and opportunities can be missed.

“I am guilty of looking ahead instead of right in front of me, at you.”

Very fun! It's a competent and fair sequence. Expands the original universe while maintaining Tim Burton's eccentric visual style and acidic humor. It brings back iconic characters like Lydia Deetz and Beetlejuice, exploring their stories in an updated way that pleases both old fans and new viewers. Combining nostalgia and innovation, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice manages to revive the atmosphere of the original and yet, maintain the dark humor and touch of madness that made the first film so unique.

“Lady Bird” is for people who feels a bit out of place, as if they’re somehow out of sync with their surroundings. For those those who sometimes yearn for something beyond what their world currently offers, dreaming of exploring new possibilities and places. It’s also for people grappling with insecurities yet holding onto a steady desire for self-discovery and growth, even if the path ahead feels uncertain or challenging. For anyone who feel misunderstood, especially within their families. It’s for individuals who, despite loving deeply, experience a constant tension—a longing for approval that never seems fully satisfied. It captures the experience of those with complex relationships with their mothers, somewhere between love and resentment, where each conversation holds the potential to be either a hug or a wound. It connects with anyone feeling trapped between the need for independence and the weight of family ties that, while tight, also bring a sense of comfort.

And here is one of ladybird's wise phrases: “Don’t be a republican.”

he was so good at giving her nothing

What begins as rebellious pranks soon escalates into something much darker. With biting humor and sharp social critique, the movie explores the pressures of high school popularity in an unforgettable way. It’s unlike any other high school movie, wasn’t expecting this.

“I use my grand IQ to decide what lip gloss to wear in the morning and how to hit three keggers before curfew.”

(I deserve an award for being able to choose just one quote from this film to highlight because they are all very good).

"The Artist" is a sweet tribute to silent films, directed by Michel Hazanavicius. Set in Hollywood during the late 1920s, it follows George Valentin, a silent movie star who struggles to adjust to the rise of sound films. The black-and-white look and silent film style are impressive, and Jean Dujardin does a great job as Valentin, showing both the humor and sadness of his character.

While the film captures nostalgia and has strong performances, it can feel a bit repetitive at times.
The story, though touching, doesn't offer much new beyond its unique style. A beautiful and creative movie, but it doesn't fully go beyond its concept.

Overall, it's enjoyable but not groundbreaking. It's a nice love letter to the history of cinema, but may not be for everyone looking for a more exciting or deeper story.

everyday I wake up wondering if I'm out of tune or if I'm rushing/dragging.

Last day of spookytober and this is the scariest film i’ve watched this year. No movie has traumatized me the way this did. I literally couldn’t think properly for the last 20 minutes of it. Thought about it for DAYS afterwards. One of the best movies i've ever seen but i will never ever watch it again. 😃

The soundtrack HAUNTS ME !!!

I loved this. Just don't get carried away by negative criticism and draw your own conclusion, okay?

The same people who criticize are the same people who gave very high ratings to the first one and the only thing different here is that it is a musical. There is no difference from this Arthur to the other. He is not the batman’s villain, never was, never demonstrated to be a genius of crime and that only wants chaos, on the contrary, he just want to have someone so much that it is manipulated at certain times by Lee, with the villain joker this would never happen. So why are people complaining that they distanced the character from this idea when he never really was that? 

This is not a movie about a badass fantasy of a villainous joker or something, but about a man with serious problems, vulnerable and alone who intensely seeks approval. A quick glance from Lee at him and he was already happy and bouncing, even starting to tell jokes again. That's why neither this or the first movie sold the character as the Joker from Gotham. I see this film as a direct response to those who watched the first film and said "literally me", for those who don't understand how pathetic, sick and traumatized the joker’s figure is. You could never be him !

Yeah, there’s a lot of singing, which made a lot of people uncomfortable but even I, who don't really like musicals, managed to embrace the idea. The movie gets confusing at times, often getting tangled up in the story. But if there’s something that the director wanted to emphasize is that Arthur Fleck is worthy of compassion, that is a person who needs to repel, Todd Phillips uses striking visuals and classic, emotive songs to reflect Arthur’s inner turmoil and the dark, chaotic world around him. And also made it very clear, through Lady Gaga's character (Lee) that he is not a person that people should use as a reference, in any way.

“If you love me right, then who knows? I might let you make me Juno.”

Jack is me but in a male version, you know. Unfortunately, Jack and I are gays who fall in love with people we can't have, with people who doesn’t want to stay. Him and Ennis had a soulful love, but it still wasn't enough :((

While this is a comforting film for me, because it has a character that I identify with so much, it’s such a devastating film, they live an intense and deep romance, but they need to hide their feelings due to the prejudice and homophobia, which ends up compromising their lives and forcing them to hide their happiness.

“Sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.”

Beautiful in so many ways but don’t EVER show me the “brooks was here” scene again.

The Shawshank Redemption is, at its heart, a story of hope in its purest form—hope that blooms even in the darkest, most oppressive circumstances. Following Andy Dufresne, a man wrongfully imprisoned, and his unlikely friendship with Red, this film dives into the quiet, enduring strength that lies within us. Andy’s spirit never wavers, and as I watched him find moments of beauty in the bleakness of Shawshank (like playing music over the prison speakers or tirelessly building a library).

It’s not just a story of survival but of transformation. Andy’s belief in something greater than himself, a belief he clings to even when everything else is stripped away, feels like a lifeline. His friendship with Red is also a testament to the human connection that can bring light to even the darkest places. Red, initially skeptical and resigned, slowly begins to believe again, his heart softened by Andy’s hope.

That’s my dad’s favorite movie btw and now he’s very proud I finally watched it. Just trust the hype. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Is it too early to say this is my favorite or…?

Where did pretty boy find time to turn into a rock? 
 
Sooo I finally started this saga, a friend of mine was driving me crazy insisting that I should watch it and I must admit, it was such a great start ! The movie kept me hooked from beginning to end and its idea is brilliant, it really caught my attention. I was expecting one thing and I got something even better. I don't really know anything about the books either so I can't say if it's mediocre compared to the books, I’m just talking about the movies. 🤷🏻‍♀️

“The Hunger Games” delivers a gripping and intense story with strong performances, especially from Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss. The dystopian setting is well-realized, and the film balances action, emotion, and suspense effectively. There’s a lot of camera shaky btw, which bothered me a lot.

It’s a solid start to the series, and I enjoyed the thrilling ride. I don't have much to say, just that I want Haymitch and that Katniss and Peeta are everything to me.

A movie about me and dad. The karaoke scene was my favorite because it's my dad's favorite song and I totally understand why Calum didn’t want to sing with his daughter. He was potentially overwhelmed. “Aftersun” got into me, not because I have an absent father, but because I have a great one and it reminded me of all the sacrifices and pain he hid. Even with so many problems, including psychological ones, he's still there. The whole movie felt like my own memory.

Calum wasn’t a absent father, he was a depressed father. It’s no like he was bad…so much so that the movie is about s trip between the two. Sophie's memories are distant but he remained very present throughout the plot. To me, the film wasn’t directly about the daughter but about the father.

Our parents are not secondary characters in our lives but rather individuals with their own experiences who have had many dreams when young, and above all, they are flawed and sensitive beings, but we only realize this when we become adults too and understand what life really is like.

Did you already get over this movie? I don’t think I ever will. 🧍🏻‍♀️

(thanks for the 2000 followers and for the +300 likes on my review talking bad about terrifier 3 haha, love my mutuals, In da clurb we all fam)

Seu Jorge what are you doing in here !

Looks like I’m discovering new favorites movies. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is a quirky and visually unique film directed by Wes Anderson. It follows the eccentric oceanographer Steve Zissou, played by Bill Murray, as he embarks on an expedition to hunt down a mysterious shark that killed his partner. Steve and his companions' journey becomes increasingly crazy and explosive as they get closer to their goals.

I personally think this is one of Wes Anderson's best movies, It balances that caricatured aesthetic almost perfectly, with a wonderful sense of humor and a thrilling drama.

The cinematography is amazing, meticulously composed shots, symmetrical framing, and a vibrant color palette dominated by blues and yellows. The underwater scenes are surreal, using stop-motion animation to create a whimsical, almost fantastical look at marine life. I was really surprised by the soundtracks, simply incredible thanks to our Brazilian icon, Seu Jorge. He did a whole album for Life Aquatic of acoustic Bowie covers sung in Portuguese and I had nooooo idea.

All i wanna do in life is go on the belafonte and wear a silly little red hat in blue pajamas, wearing the limited edition Zissou adidas...is that too much to ask for :(((

I might be the biggest hater of this franchise. Tf is this? Torture porn? Seriously, what do you like about this? It’s literally just gore and no story at all, a bunch of blood without any context. What infuriates me even more is that this franchise could be so much more than it is but unfortunately it is more concerned with making people feel sick in the theater than actually delivering a good script. You guys are glazing it so bad, STOOOPPPPPPPP. One of the biggest problems here is that Damien Leone is more a special fx makeup artist than a director so that scenes is just what he knows to do 🤷🏻‍♀️. Hopefully he’ll take a writing class before his next movie !! All my love to David Howard tho, his acting is the only good thing there. 

I gave this third a chance because I really thought something had changed, the Christmas setting caught my attention and Art was actually scarier than he was in the other movies. It ends up being superficial like the others, it never gets anywhere and there will still be a fourth film. A total waste of potential, fuck me.

A movie that made me feel many things, the excitement when everything seems to be going right with Sue, the discomfort and disgust just by seeing a man eating shrimp, fear and even sadness.

"The Substance" explores in a raw and impactful way the dark behind-the-scenes of the Hollywood industry, where the unattainable beauty and sexualization of women take center stage. However, the film is not limited to this superficial analysis of beauty and age. It goes further, offering an unhealthy view of today's society, where not only appearance is shaped by standards, but also one's inner self. I honestly don't understand when people don’t understand the message of the film and hate it because of that. The message is explicit and if you don't understand it, it's because you think small.

The substance is a very confrontational and uncomfortable film but I don’t think there was any scene in this movie that hit me more than the scene of Elisabeth getting ready for her date night. It's very sad and reflects a lot on Demi Moore's career. She was practically discarded from Hollywood too because she was not longer considered “young and beautiful”, and besides, everyone seems just interested in Margaret Qualley, all I see is edits of Sue when both of them were amazing here, that proves the whole point of the movie.

I like dads movies a little bit too much, sorry. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've been wanting to watch this movie for a long time, and I finally did. I found Birdman to be a captivating and bold film. Michael Keaton’s performance stood out—he really brought depth to his character, making me care about his journey. The continuous, single-take cinematography was incredible and made the experience more immersive. I loved how the movie played with the line between reality and fantasy, creating a surreal atmosphere that kept me thinking. Even with its occasional confusion, the film’s creativity and daring approach left a strong impression on me. I really don't think I've ever seen a movie like this before, it’s very creative and unique.

No one cares but a curious fact about me is that Steve Carell is one of my favorite actors. His characters are always so personal. He’s like an old dear friend to me. He is the actor behind most of my favorite characters and I know that I can trust a movie that has him in the cast. 

Carell shows impressive emotional depth, playing more restrained characters, often dealing with internal frustrations, family conflicts or traumas but still maintaining a certain emotional accessibility. They’re self-centered or reckless, but they have a generous heart and are capable of moments of great sensitivity. In this movie, for example, Dan is a very likeable person, with a mix of humor and hope but still so melancholic, you know? I just wanted to hug him the entire movie. 

Anyways, whether in comedy or drama, their characters are multidimensional, navigating between humor and pain, which makes them complex and relatable. 

Other fact about me is that I’ve watched “The Office” six times because I literally couldn’t stand being away from Michael Scott (his best character ofc).

Let’s talk about one of the most beautiful films in the world and one of my all-time favorite, I hadn't done a decent review about it until now because I literally can't describe its depth.
 
“Portrait of a Lady on Fire” delves deeply into themes of love, identity and the nature of art, creating a rich tapestry of emotional and intellectual exploration. At its core, the film is about the profound connection between Marianne, the painter, and Héloïse, the subject of her art. Their relationship develops in a world that imposes strict societal norms, making their bond both tender and revolutionary.

The film’s exploration of visibility is striking. Marianne’s act of painting Héloïse symbolizes the deeper act of truly seeing someone—understanding their essence beyond mere physical appearance. This theme resonates throughout the film, questioning what it means to be seen and to see others authentically.

Additionally, “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” addresses the fleeting nature of love and memory. The characters grapple with the inevitability of separation, which adds a bittersweet layer to their romance. The film suggests that while moments may be transient, the memories they create can linger indefinitely, shaping our identities and relationships.

Céline Sciamma’s direction emphasizes silence and subtlety, allowing the audience to absorb the emotions conveyed through glances, gestures, and the rich visual language. The stunning cinematography captures not only the beauty of the landscapes but also the internal landscapes of the characters’ hearts.

Overall, the film’s depth lies in its ability to intertwine personal and universal themes—celebrating love while acknowledging the constraints of society. It’s a poignant reflection on the power of connection and the enduring impact of love, making it a truly unforgettable cinematic experience.


Héloïse: I feel something new.
Marianne: What?
Héloïse: Regret.
Marianne: Don't regret. Remember.

I want that wedding dress.

Okay my new whole personality is watching Wes Anderson’s films so handle it.

The Darjeeling Limited is literally Anderson’s most intimate movie, largely because it delves deeply into personal themes of grief, family dynamics, and emotional healing. Unlike his other films, which often lean more heavily on stylized whimsy and eccentric characters, this movie focuses on the raw, complex relationships between three brothers who are struggling with loss and their own personal baggage.

This film is not just about “physical travel across India”, but also about emotional reconciliation. The brothers, played by Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody 💋, and Jason Schwartzman, are each broken in their own ways, dealing with the loss of their father and the emotional distance between them. Their interactions, filled with moments of frustration, tenderness, and humor feel deeply personal. Despite all this, the film is well balanced in terms of humor and adventure.

Other strong points are the cinematography and soundtrack. The impeccable cinematography of his films is not longer a news. The soundtrack, featuring a mix of Indian music and classic rock, further enriches the narrative, providing an auditory landscape that complements the visual feast. 

My roman empire is literally how underappreciated this movie is. I feel sorry for all the eldest siblings out there, who haven't had the chance to experience the best representation, through Francis Whitman, of feeling like a family burden, whilst trying to keep everything together. I have never connected to characters more. I LOVE THE DARJEELING LIMITED!!! (or maybe I just love big noses 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Pure art!! 

The Grand Budapest Hotel, directed by Wes Anderson, is a film that captivates with its unique aesthetics and engaging storytelling. The story is set in a luxurious yet decaying hotel, where the eccentric concierge, M. Gustave, becomes entangled in a series of adventures after inheriting a valuable painting.

The film masterfully blends comedy and adventure with hints of nostalgia and melancholy. M. Gustave, played by Ralph Fiennes, stands out with his impeccable and witty personality. Alongside Zero, a young hotel employee, he faces pursuits, escapes, and a dispute over the inheritance, all handled with subtle and clever humor.

The art direction is a major highlight, featuring vibrant colors and perfect symmetry, a hallmark of Anderson’s style. Each scene is carefully composed, almost like a painting, making the film visually stunning.

Beyond the visual appeal, the movie touches on deeper themes, such as the end of an era and the social changes leading up to World War II. The hotel, once a symbol of wealth and glamour, reflects this transformation, evoking a sense of longing for a bygone time.

The Grand Budapest Hotel skillfully balances humor, adventure, and a certain melancholy, creating an experience that is both lighthearted and thought-provoking.

Cinephiles when it’s not your fault 😭😭😭😭😭

This movie explores themes of self-discovery, friendship, love, and the power of human connection. Will’s journey toward emotional healing is mirrored by his relationships with Sean, his best friend Chuckie (Ben Affleck), and his girlfriend Skylar (Minnie Driver). Ultimately, Good Will Hunting is about the struggle to overcome personal demons and the courage to embrace one’s potential for growth, love, and happiness. Well, I don’t have much to say, just that all of Sean Maguire’s sentences hit me hard.
