Darts & Flowers

A sequel to the more than decent first instalment, made almost exclusively for box office purposes, since the story is ridiculous and the rhythm is definitely boring. A wasted opportunity. Mark: 5.5 / 10

An extraordinary and heartfelt portrait of Mexico at the beginning of the seventies, shot in black and white, depicting lives and occurrences of an upper middle class family in Mexico City's Colonia Roma, where the director grew up as a child. A great cinematic experience. Mark: 8 / 10

Astoundingly dazzling. A true cinematic masterpiece. A lifetime performance for Michael Keaton, and the rest of the cast is simply awesome. Inarritu's direction is out of this world. More than ten years I've waited to see it, and frankly I don't know why. Mark: 9 / 10

After twelve years from its release, I filled a significant gap watching this super praised film (Academy Award Best Picture winner): undoubtedly a great movie, but with the constant feeling that, even in the most extreme scenes, everything is shot with a sort of visual purity in mind. Stellar cast, with a mention for Fassbender and Nyong'o. Mark: 8 / 10

After more than ten years from its release, I succeeded in watching this movie, strafed by critics and half world audiences. It's not a masterpiece, but leaves its traces here and there. Awesome soundtrack by Rachel Portman, as always. Mark: 6.5 / 10

An experimental storytelling, all centered on the POV technique, is, in my opinion, pretty distracting and tiring, particularly in this heartfelt and terrible vicissitude. An interesting movie to watch, though. Mark: 7 / 10
