90 minutes of rehashed Allen's themes but in a really bad way: Bad storytelling, bad performances, pretentious characters, silly, cliche dialogues. By far his worst movie, a complete waste of time.

The Structure of Crystal 1969
A long, deep conversation about friendship, science, the conflict between pragmatism and idealism and the ability to choose your own way of life based on your principles and what you really want to achieve. Such a great movie.

Dark Glasses 2022
It’s hard to believe that the creator of Phenomena, Suspiria and many other masterpieces in the 70s/80s, gave to the audience this ultimate crap. No pure horror, no suspense, it’s not even entertaining. Really bad acting, an uninspired and predictable story, sloppy chase and gore scenes in which Argento tries to repeat various themes of his golden past, but he just cannot do it the same way.

The Whale 2022
Hats off to Brendan Fraser, his performance was just outstanding. Sadie Sink and Hong Chau were also great in their roles. It's not the first time that actors or actresses give the best performance of their career in an Aronofsky film (eg. Mickey Rourke, Ellen Burstyn, Natalie Portman...), maybe we have to give him a credit for this.
But the rest of the movie is just meh, this ain't Aronofsky. This is 100 boring minutes with irrelevant religious references plus 15 mawkish minutes that you have to cry no matter what.
