It's truly a mystery to me what led Keanu Reeves to act in this Russia-infused mess, where instead of deep thoughts, everyone spouts crap. If only he was nice to look at, but even that doesn't work when he's constantly sweating profusely. (40%)

I'm very disillusioned about the fact that even in France they are making tasteless sexist comedies. And I really can't stomach the attempt at humor when one of the weirdos tries to warm up a chilled hamster in the microwave, oblivious to the fact that it won't survive, and then is terribly surprised when it catches fire. If humor falters in such a desperate manner, the creators could have at least put some effort into building a clever story, which unfortunately is absent. Even the soundtrack didn't impress me.

It's a Nordic raw drama with intense emotions that doesn't sugarcoat anything and shows that one should not give up even when facing life's biggest challenges. It took me a very long time to get over the rather wacky style of humor, but I eventually came to like it, as well as the story revolving around a group of people disappointed by twists of fate.

The idea that we could travel back in time and change the past as we see fit is so appealing that even I sometimes get swept away by a film that tells this story. Here, however, the frequent illogicality of the plot spoiled the overall impression. Even Ashton Kutcher couldn’t save it. He is nice to look at, but unfortunately, that's about it. (65%)

It's admirable how Steven Spielberg, at his age, can translate youthful material onto movie theater screens. However, I'm not too thrilled with this film. If it were half an hour shorter, I probably wouldn't have been so bored, but it would still be a hollow story. (55%)

A well-crafted film about a case directly related to the 2003 invasion of Iraq by American and British troops. Keira Knightley gives a very convincing performance as the plucky spy Katharine Gun, giving a very convincing performance while looking physically and mentally very exhausted, which is necessary to portray this role. Also worth mentioning is the structurally unified musical score, which manages to maintain the dramatic tension practically throughout the entire film. (75%)

Wonderful music, meaningful lyrics, a loving story, and even a touching scene. It's no wonder that with this explosive combination, even a tear fell from my eye toward the end. I simply enjoyed it. (80%)

Women's Revenge reminds me a bit of a parade of unsympathetic oxen and cows, and I'd rather not mention the lameness of the script. I apologize for the cattle comparison, but I couldn't think of anything more appropriate. I could only watch Jakub Kohák from the cast without self-restraint, which I don't consider good publicity for the movie. And if this was supposed to be a funny comedy, I must be from Mars, because I didn't laugh at all. I’m giving one star for the surprisingly decent ending of this strange farce. (15%)

Live your life to the rhythm of dance, or better said, dance your life. That's a short way of describing this decent film. Unlike other reviewers, I really liked Anastasia Shevtsova in the title role, and not just because she danced beautifully. What I liked even more was the almost perfect connection between ballet and music, whether classical or modern. It lifted me out of my seat and made me want to dance too. The story is a bit different from similarly styled films, which I give a definite thumbs up for. The overall tone is somewhat bittersweet. (80%)

"It's nothing Dad, it's a loving adventure..." - I was a bit skeptical at the beginning because of the very slow flow of the plot, but once I understood what it was all about, the story completely engrossed me and I enjoyed every minute of it until the perfectly orchestrated ending. Hats off to Casey Affleck, he did a hell of a job with this one. (80%)
