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

Babygirl

Without a doubt, one of the most divisive movies of last season. Personally, I liked it a lot: very good performances (Nicole is awesome), pretty intriguing story, and an appropriate, pleasant soundtrack. Get ready to love or hate it. Mark: 8 / 10

The Post

Streep and Hanks directed by Spielberg: not to be missed at all costs. But I waited for eight years, with no explanation whatsoever. Anyway, it's a great movie wothout a doubt. And it's really not to be missed. Mark: 8 / 10
