Weapons

Written, directed, produced and co-scored by Zach Cregger, this movie is a sort of dark fairytale wonderfully acted and expertly conceived and staged. Chapeau to the future director of "Resident Evil". Mark: 7.5 / 10

The Last Showgirl

The cast is proficient and credible, the subject isn't original at all, but it's somewhat interesting, but in my opinion the movie runs without leaving a single trace to remember. Mark: 6 / 10

Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot

Sixteen nominations and seven wins at the David di Donatello awards, feature debut of the talented director Gabriele Mainetti, this pretty chaotic movie is pleasant and full of nice, funny quotes. The cast is extraordinary, especially Pastorelli and Marinelli. Mark: 7.5 / 10

Juror #2

An understated, unconventional legal thriller, masterfully written by Jonathan Abrams and expertly directed by the incredible Clint Eastwood. Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult are simply superb. Mark: 8 / 10

Elio

An enjoyable Disney/Pixar product, with some cute ideas and some predictable development twists. Neither a masterpiece, nor a failure. Mark: 6.5 / 10

Lion

Based on Saroo Brierley's book, it's an uplifting real-life story, wonderfully acted and brilliantly directed by Garth Davis. Though a bit weak in the central part, it's definitely a movie worth watching. Mark: 7.5 / 10

La habitación de al lado

In my opinion, aseptic is the right word to describe this movie: I felt no empathy, no participation, no real sense of grief and loss. And, frankly, I didn't even appreciate the performances of the two main actresses. What a pity. Mark: 5.5 / 10
