It’s hard to avoid comparisons to 8 Mile, but for a film that looks almost amateurish in places, or at least very independent, I sure as hell liked it. The music develops quite well here and the finale has its own momentum. I didn't mind any of the characters, and in fact it was quite easy to relate to them.

Chloë Grace Moretz and Ansel Elgort work well, but the story does not play in their favor. Up until about halfway through the runtime, it looks like it could be quite good, suspenseful, with the potential for an interesting twist, but surprisingly, that never happens and the resolution is very underwhelming. That is a great shame.

It’s a fine family film, but you probably won't remember it for long, because it doesn't stand out in any significant way. Except for the fact that there's a unicorn, of course. But otherwise, it's about how the poor kid doesn't fit in, but he finds a dumb-creature friend who is special, and so the bad guys are after him, but the kid saves the animal. It's honestly kind of boring...

I'm definitely not a fan of My Little Pony, and this was actually my first time seeing it, but I have to admit it wasn't all that bad. I'm not crazy about the characters, but maybe as a musical it's quite enjoyable. With this cartoon, I imagine it might even entertain the kids, which isn't a bad thing and is relevant.

I have to say that at first sight I was impressed by the quality of the filming. I'm not sure how much the filmmakers have done in the past, but this is technically very good, there's some excellent sound and music work, and I was also impressed with the acting for what is supposed to be an improvisation. They're good. I'm into films with a storyline, and this one seemed more lyrical to me, but those who like that style will like it.

You can't really expect this series to be a hardcore fantasy, because it's more of a historical film with some CGI effects, but on the other hand, it does a pretty good job of making the sets believable. It may be a low-budget B-movie that’s not that entertaining, but I've actually gotten pretty used to this series and don't mind it. It's almost too bad it's over.

Jennifer Jason Leigh is the star of this film, which is about a certain form of decadence in the jazz age of the United States, as if an entire generation doesn't know where to go and therefore isn't looking for a path, just a way to avoid that path. Surprisingly, it's not as interesting as one would think, unfortunately not even in terms of the acting.

When watching Gang War in Milan, you might wonder if this is going to turn into Italian porn. The look of the actors, and at times the style of filmmaking, would point towards that, but it's actually a mafia film that has pretty good characters, pretty good pacing, and has a bloody flow from start to finish. And it is.

I thought the film would be a little grittier than it appeared. Then there was a scene that was really good and gritty that managed to impact the viewer. But then there was nothing for a long time. Prison dramas aren't bad, but this Irish production, while based on true events, lacks any real edge.

A very good film, with good enough actors chosen for a strong theme, and they were able to present it well. Ethan Hawke's character is quite easy to hate, yet here he is a man who is supposed to experience a romantic relationship. The character of Maudie (again, the great Sally Hawkins) is also not a classic romance protagonist, and their relationship thus has an even stronger impact on the viewer.
