A bit more enjoyable than the first adaptation of the renowned girl in Wonderland. But since that first one was a catastrophe, this is just a little less than a disaster.
Pretentious. Overly theatrical. Unfocused. I'm not a fan of this (inexplicably praised) extremely long story about this (invented) Hungarian architect seeking for inner and professional recognition. And, frankly, both Brody and Jones have delivered better performances. Mark: 5.5 / 10
Long awaited sequel of the awesome first chapter and most successful animated feature of all times, this enjoyable product is basically an extension of the original instalment. Without strokes of genius. Mark: 7.5 / 10
"Exercise of style" is often a pretty abused expression to indicate a movie (or else) that is a sort of showoff of the director: in this case, unfortunately, it's totally appropriate. It's not a failure (Silvio Orlando's performance is monumental and the visual aspect is awesome), but Sorrentino's approach, in my opinion, has undertaken an insubstantial direction. Mark: 6.5 / 10
