Aftersun

Aftersun Seven oN ★ 6

Again, I went to see a movie with too high expectations and was disappointed. The idea behind the story, the characters, the atmosphere and especially the acting (by both Mescal as well as Corio) are great. The storytelling falls short however, never completely gripping me, never pulling me into the story. @steveinadelaide explains it perfectly on IMDb: “The film’s slow pace and lack of character development make it hard to connect with the characters. We don’t get much insight into Sophie’s life before or after, making it difficult to feel emotionally invested in their relationship.” He says a lot more and it describes my thoughts and feelings about his movie perfectly. www.imdb.com/user/ur25255776/reviews 0
Die Heineken Entführung

Die Heineken Entführung Seven oN ★ 6

Though there are reviewers who liked the acting, especially compared to other Dutch movies, for me the acting didn’t feel natural, it was still very much “ acting” (except for Rutger Hauer of course, excellent performance). On top of that the story doesn’t represent what truly happened (I didn’t know that beforehand). It did manage to pique my interest though so I’ll be reading some books on the kidnapping and on Holleeder’s life. 0
Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody

Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody Seven oN ★ 8

How I loved Whitney Houston, her voice, her songs. I experienced quite a lot of goosebumps in the day, listening to her music. And how shocked I was when I heard of her death…so young… So yeah, obviously I shed quite some tears watching this movie, also because of the great acting, Tamara Tunie in particular. I truly felt her pain. Naomi did an excellent job as well, though for me she was slightly less convincing. I have to admit this might be due to a wrong image I have of Whitney, but I just felt less sympathy for Naomi, perhaps because to me her expression is…don’t really know how to express it, less open and warm…? But obviously a great movie nonetheless, I keep thinking about it. 0
Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Crazy, Stupid, Love. Seven oN ★ 7

Watched the first half yesterday, it was so so. Not particularly original or entertaining. But today I decided to watch the second half nonetheless and I’m happy I did. It was funny, sweet and entertaining. Laughed out loud a couple of times (making my cat jump) and loved the sweet ending. Maybe I would’ve given it 7/10 stars had I watched it in one go, but I loved this second half so much, I have to give it 8/10. Edit: on second thought, changed it back to 7/10 0
Tod auf dem Nil

Tod auf dem Nil Seven oN ★ 5

A dramatic mystery or maybe even better to classify it as a mysterious drama/romance. I’m going to be honest: if I hadn’t read any Agatha Christie’s Poirot and if I hadn’t watched any episode with David Suchet portraying Poirot, I might’ve liked this movie (a little bit) better. Although I do agree with the reviewers who have stated that the setting feels “out of time”; it’s all too modern.  But above all, Poirot as well as Bouc feel totally, completely, utterly out of character. And wow, that hurt, really bad…. And then there’s Hammer whose acting I’ve never liked; nothing feels natural, it all feels fake, you just see him acting instead of living it. So yeah, trying to forget this is a Hercule Poirot, I’ll be generous and give it 5/10. 0
Zeiten des Umbruchs

Zeiten des Umbruchs Seven oN ★ 7

A lot (of real life issues) going on in this movie and as a result nothing really gets fleshed /worked out very well. Or at least, not as well as it could’ve been. It’s still a good movie with important topics though. There’s this family, supposedly rich, at least in the eyes of the MC, but in reality not well off at all. A so called close family according to some reviewers (based off on them eating together) but in reality not really close at all. A so called ill behaved little brat, until we find out he’s being physically abused and may have a learning disability (which apparently makes him a let down to his parents). And there’s the MC’s friend dealing with racism and everything that comes with it.  Problems, which indeed do not occur only in this family or just incidentally (as some reviewers have pointed out). Unfortunately there are a lot of families facing all kinds of problems. There are a lot of people having to deal with racism too. So does that mean those aren’t  suitable as themes for a movie? Is the message that this movie is trying to portray “Life is not fair”? Imho: no and no. As Hopkins says: “It is hard, but you have to keep fighting! You can’t give in/give up.” I believe thát is the message. 0
