A skillfully filmed schizo with an excellent performance by Jim Carrey. Most people will remember him for The Mask, but it's in Man on the Moon that he kicks it up a gear and his Tony Clifton is a great caricature. Socially still quite topical, thematically novel, it's just that after an hour the whole farce gets…

An enjoyable and intimate atmospheric little horror film, where Benjamin Barfoot shows that he is not a loser and that he can definitely still surprise. It's nothing original, it's a bit of a mash-up of Come Play and The Babadook, but I can't remember the last time when an atmospheric and chilling affair like this…

One of the most optimistic and light-hearted films by Woody Allen. Mighty Aphrodite does not lack solid dynamics and relatively short running time. We may be seeing a variation of the same thing, but Mira Sorvino's charming prostitute brings a nice twist. In contrast, the antic elements are downright annoying and…

A decent Indian thriller on a serious note without the dancing and humour, which would not have been appropriate given the subject matter. Too bad there are no explicit scenes, but it's about children, so I can't blame them. That said, I was expecting the atmosphere to be darker and the pace a bit more exciting so I…

It's a decent job for a debutant. Fine A-list actors, top craftsmanship and surprisingly enough action, that is also unexpectedly brutal with no shortage of severed limbs. For someone who was expecting PG-13, I'm definitely surprised. Of course, the plot didn't draw me in much, and aside from the action, it's a bit…

I have to occasionally catch up on Czechoslovak cinema from the past, and that’s how I came across Ikaros' Fall. To be honest, you won’t find many films where the main theme is alcohol and its ability to dismantle a human personality, as well as the surroundings of that person. Personally, I consider it extremely…

It’s like stepping into a music box and closing the lid behind you: its sentimental melody evokes a forced melancholy, yet the melodic scent of a decaying flower of kitsch in every measure reminds us that the main character has closed the lid of a coffin behind her. The uncompromising nature of our hero's chosen path…

A perverse and brutally funny comedy from a primary school setting that parallels other teen comedies: it has the typical gang jocks, three outsiders and pretty girls - only they're all 12. The jokes fire off at mini-gun speed, the plot provides an incredible amount of terribly funny scenes (sex aids, buying drugs, an…

A surprisingly unexpected hit that I only just stumbled upon and I don't understand how that's possible. Will Smith as a con man and Margot Robbie, who incidentally gives an absolutely amazing performance, find each other and start a business of fraud and theft. From the start the film moves at a solid pace and the…

A laid-back French comedy, reminiscent of the good old Daddy Day Care. It will not impress or offend anyone, the story follows a simple path towards a clear ending from the beginning, but still I was unexpectedly well entertained. The humour was quite decent in places and some scenes will definitely stay in my head.…
