An animated feature film I missed some years ago, dealing with culture, tradition, family, life and death in an original and successful fashion. A joy to see and enjoy, with a moving touch. Mark: 8 / 10

Artfully directed by the talented Zeller, this devastating, heartbreaking and brutally honest depiction of dementia presents no weak links and could easily be considered one of the best movies of last year. Then, if Colman is no less than awesome, Hopkins delivers a simply stellar performance. Mark: 8.5 / 10

Ten years after its release, I succeeded in watching this movie, which I was extremely interested in, but missed at the time. Frankly, I was expecting something different, but in the end the result is interesting and Fassbender and Mulligan deliver solid performances. Mark: 7 / 10

More than one step below the first three chapters, this fourth instalment is doubtlessly entertaining, but in my opinion it could be considered a nice appendix of a stunning trilogy and nothing more. Mark: 7 / 10

Released almost fifteen years ago, this average movie is an adapted depiction of some bombings happened in Saudi Arabia around or more than twenty years ago. Overall, it could be watched. But don't expect a thrilling masterpiece. Mark: 6 / 10

Once in a while, Pixar creates a product that may make us rise our eyebrows: Onward, in my humble opinion, could be considered one of those. And it's a pity, since the premises were quite interesting. Mark: 5.5 / 10

Skillfully directed by Regina King, this fictionalized meeting of four legends struggles in the beginning when it has to involve the audience, but explodes in the second half, simply perfect in every part. Extraordinary cast. Mark: 7.5 / 10

In my opinion, a film that every man should see to understand what's the difference between carefree lifestyle and deliberate violence; moreover, a film that every woman should see not to be deceived by appearances or social status. Everything in this movie could be defined stunning, but the script, direction and terrific perfomance delivered by Carey Mulligan are no less than perfect. Mark: 9 / 10

A pretty unusual spy story located in Central Italy, that really struggles from the beginning to the end to maintain a sort of movie dignity. But, to be honest, it fails. Don't waste your time. Mark: 5 / 10

Featuring the extraordinary music by Ludovico Einaudi, this is without a doubt one of the most acclaimed pictures of 2020. In my humble opinion it's not a masterpiece at all, but, thanks to the two women that are the soul and the heart of it (the director, screenwriter and editor Chloé Zhao, and the great Frances McDormand), it's a pretty enjoyable movie, more sly and cunning than smart and groundbreaking. Mark: 7.5 / 10

Two stunning performances by Ahmed and Raci, an authentic and dry depiction of the deaf condition, a marvelous rendition of the sound effects. In a few words, a must see. Mark: 8 / 10
