    Local Hero

    ★★★★

    Townsman: Are you sure there are two l's in 'dollar', Gideon?
    Gideon: Yes! An' are there two g's in 'bugger off'?

    For a film about a big corporation trying to swallow a small village and its inhabitants, I've never felt so much warmth and laugh like Local Hero.

    Meet Mac (Peter Riegert), a somewhat motivated employee by gaining wealth and spending it for his image. His mission is to go to Scotland for negotiating with a somewhat mayor and small…

  • Shame

    Shame

    ★★★½

    Sissy Sullivan: We're not bad people. We just come from a bad place.

    With Shame, Steve McQueen brings on the table a subject which, in my eyes, seems to be overlooked more than it should be: sex addiction.

    We're all very aware of the many addictions that people can suffer from in this world, usually the drug issues, because of all the campaign and 'battles' led against it. Many movies have depicted such struggle, both on a human scale or…

  • Inherent Vice

    Inherent Vice

    ★★★★

    Sortilège: Inherent vice in a maritime insurance policy is anything that you can't avoid. Eggs break, chocolate melts, glass shatters, and Doc wondered what that meant when it applied to ex-old ladies.

    Wandering in the streets of L.A. and losing himself in the fog of marijuana, Inherent Vice is the story of a man overcoming grief disguised as your typical noir film.

    Larry “Doc” Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) is a private detective with a smooth touch of hippie vibe, and a…

    Booksmart

    ★★★★

    Molly: It's fun your mom thinks we're boning.
    Amy: It isn't you who has to deal with their awkward looks when I say that I'm going to the library with you and I'm actually going to the library with you.

    As her feature directorial debut, Olivia Wilde's Booksmart is a really fun journey of self-discovery, about being at the start of youth, and all the silliness of being a youngster.

    The statement I'm going to say isn't fresh news, but…

    Dune

    ★★★★★

    Jamis: The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it. We must move with the flow of the process. We must join it. We must flow with it.

    As someone who deeply loves Frank Herbert's book Dune, I couldn't help but get excited for witnessing its adaptation from my favorite director Denis Villeneuve. My expectations were high, very high, and only that man could ever surpass…

  • Lilya 4-ever

    Lilya 4-ever

    ★★★★

    Lilja: I'm not your property. Think you can buy me? You can't buy me. You can't buy my heart and soul.

    The whole story is a descent of Lilja to hell; even if we, the viewer, understand the reality of things (as well as Volodya, a kid who is far too mature for his age), she sees every time a deliverance in her life. When we see the synopsis, we all quite guess that Lilja will end up in prostitution,…
