For 20 years, I have fondly remembered the older TV movie Lucy (2003), I adore the original series I Love Lucy, and of course, Kidman. Therefore, my expectations were high, and so is my disappointment. But Aaron Sorkin, though he has been working on the film for a long time and was even there when Kidman tried to find…

A clever, well thought out script with a message about the fear of changes in life. Great pacing, top-notch acting – the dialogue! – Glen Powell disappears into the role. The story builds beautifully and there is no action at all. A lovely romantic film, with which Richard Linklater fulfills the dream of a lot of…

I can understand all the objections from die-hard fans of Yellowstone and 1883. Yes, it's a little more difficult with 1923, because it's moodily disjointed, emotionally sprawling, with several story lines developing to too much breadth, and the ending of the first season is actually far from what one expects after…

This new French comedy didn't quite sit right with me. I guess I'm fed up with Francophone social realism, no matter the genre. Once it's about finding a solution to a pre-lost battle in Two Days, One Night, then it's about testing whether it's a divine matter in The Brand New Testament, but the point is, they're all…

The genre classification here raises expectations of a slightly different experience, but the resulting film is neither much action nor much comedy, so beware. That said, I was pleasantly surprised. An original idea, a nicely thought out script, hugely charismatic characters (Glen Powell has been on a really nice run)…

Jiří Strach's previous work hinted that the young generation of directors would have a clear leading figure in the years to come, but what a mistake! Because here he stepped into a pile of crap in the form of a tragic screenplay, for which I would let the dramaturgists be whipped for approving it. I like simple fairy…

Screenwriting dementia of the highest caliber, from the choice of character names to the dull dialogues, set in the standard editing of an afternoon fairy tale on TV, which wouldn't be so bad if the whole hour wasn't drawn according to the worn-out pattern from the hands of Svatava Simonová, who has been filming in…

Jiří Křižan's excellent script, which managed to take the basic theme of "reunion after years" to an excellent point, was taken by director Vladimír Michálek as the basis for a filmmaking experiment. In the medium length, he and cinematographer Martin Štrba played with the visuals to the last drop. The alternation of…

Nicolas Cage rules! In the flood of absurdities that have been spewing at us lately, these few seconds are truly unique. But when Rob Zombie makes a feature-length version, Cage will be playing second fiddle - those Nazi girls look even more enticing. A perverse delight. :)
