Project Hail Mary

Between The Martian and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (not just for no reason quoted by the main character), this enjoyable movie mixed a magnificent technical production, a great (adapted) script, a spot on soundtrack and a great performance by both Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hueller. Mark: 7.5 / 10

The Odyssey

The incredibly hyped adaptation of Homer's renowned epic poem does not disappoint. The cast is great (except for Zendaya, in my opinion), Nolan's (technical) direction is immaculate, but I think that such grandeur ends up drying the pure, authentical, emotional approach. Mark: 8 / 10

The Devil Wears Prada 2

A huge publicity campaign for the seguel of the "iconic" first chapter wasn't exactly a promising sign. Frankly, with a domesticated version of Miranda Priestley and a carbon copy script, the result is weak and boring. Mark: 5 / 10

Heartstopper Forever

A sort of long farewell to all the great characters of this brilliant tv show: though concentrating a bit too much on Nick and Charlie, the movie is enjoyable and (bitter)sweet. Mark: 7.5 / 10

The Son

I can understand why this movie received so many conflicting reviews: it's a sincere, basic and direct analysis of depression, relying on our past and present. Unfortunately I found it pretty weak and somewhat sterile. Mark: 6 / 10

Wuthering Heights (2026)

I have to admit that, being a huge fan of the screenwriter and director Emerald Fennell, my expectations for her third instalment were pretty high: this is probably one of the reasons why I didn't appreciate this (very loose) adaptation. A shoutout just for the music. The rest is out of place. Mark: 5.5 / 10

Hoppers

Nothing more than a pretty product. But the real Pixar talent is almost definitively lost. In my opinion, suitable for an under 12 audience. Mark: 6 / 10
