Call Me by Your Name

In terms of telling something new about the awareness of one's own sexuality, it could be stated that this movie doesn't say anything extraordinarily original; besides, there are a few, feeble, slownesses in the development of the subject. Apart from these, negligible, aspects, Call Me by Your Name is a gem. Nothing less than a pure, crystalline, unforgettable gem. And Timothée Chalamet delivers a performance too real to be considered mere acting. Mark: 9 / 10

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

At last, a movie that deserves all the praises and talking and hype that got: magnificently acted, terrifically written and wonderfully directed. Mark: 8.5 / 10

The Shape of Water

"The more I try to find some kind of justifiable meaning and relevance, the more I find this movie a loopy, lunkheaded load of drivel." - Rex Reed, New York Observer Need I say more? Mark: 5 / 10

Get Out

Scary, somewhat funny, witty, forcing the audience to a non stop razor's edge kind of mood, very well acted, terrifically written. Some ideas taken here and there, but overall a must see movie. Mark: 8 / 10

I, Tonya

Being a huge fan of figure skating, this was a must see. Apart from every consideration regarding the "incident" between Harding and Kerrigan, the movie is wonderfully acted, intriguingly (and ironically) scripted and, in the end, it has a great sense of rhythm. A must see indeed, for everyone. Mark: 8 / 10

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Before writing these couple of lines, I checked the overall consensus, and I must admit I was pretty shocked to see that almost everyone seems to have liked (a lot) this sequel. Well, not me. In my (humble) opinion, it's way distant from the prototype, under every aspect. Mark: 6.5 / 10
