Darts & Flowers

Based on the Lee Israel's true illegal activity of forging letters from deceased writers, and her subsequent novel, it's a nice depiction of the events, with a very good cast and a decent screenplay. Mark: 7

A life in the shade of a husband leads to a much overdue confrontation in an unusual occasion: Glenn Close is absolutely breathtaking, but the screenplay partially misses the target. A pretty enjoyable product, though. Mark: 7.5 / 10

Succeeded at last in watching this much praised work by the controversial director Yorgos Lanthimos: I was undoubtedly expecting something more desecrating and extreme, nonetheless the result is pretty enjoyable, thanks to the witty script and above all the performances of the three actresses, that are the heart and soul of the movie. Mark: 7.5 / 10

A twenty years span in the life of the queen of soul Aretha Franklin, from the early pregnancies to the recording of her best selling gospel album, a sincere and accurate portrait, magnificently acted and sumptuously crafted. Mark: 8 / 10

Marking the return of Baz Luhrmann behind the camera after nine years, this hyped biopic is quite disappointing, in my opinion. Frayed, tremendously boring in certain moments, it can just boast a great performance by Butler and a flawless technical aspect. Mark: 6.5 / 10

A pretty boring rendition, with a pretty forgettable cast (with a few exceptions), and a pretty conventional (though magnificent) mise-en-scène. In my humble opinion, a useless remake. Mark: 5.5 / 10
