Coco

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

The Father

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

Shame

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

Toy Story 4

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

The Kingdom

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

Onward

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

One Night in Miami...

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
