  Sweet Country 2017

  ★★ Watched 30 Mar 2018

  I genuinely do not understand why this film is rated so highly.

  Yes, the landscapes and the cinematography are beautiful. Yes, the history of Aborigines in Australia is one that needs to be portrayed in film. Yes, the diversity of cast contributed to a multifaceted history.

  However, it must be stated that the story and the writing were very mediocre. Characters were incredibly two-dimensional and unrealistic. There's the God-loving white samaritan who believes we are all created equal, the over-masculine,…

  I, Tonya 2017

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Mar 2018

  Great portrayal of an insane story. The total absurdity of the characters (or should I say caricatures?) when met with the dumbfounding confrontation of their accurate portrayal during the after-credits is a final blow to an already impressive cinematic experience.

  Also, big compliments for Robbie. There is a staggering lack of female roles in the film industry where the female protagonist is attributed the complexity of a full human being. Instead of waiting God knows how long for being offered a complex and mature role, she took the risk of producing this film and creating it for herself.

  And what a role did she create.

  Ondanks dat de opnames prachtig zijn voelt de voice-over en de personificatie van de kat soms een beetje knullig aan. Je merkte ook dat doordat de voice-over luchtig en persoonlijk diende te zijn, er maar heel weinig van de mogelijkheid gebruik werd gemaakt om ook daadwerkelijk interessante informatie te geven. Ook miste ik een beetje de focus: eerst lijkt het gestructureerd langs verschillende stadslandschappen, dan langs verschillende dieren, om ten slotte een ratjetoe te worden zonder enige richting.

  Toch blijft…

  Call Me by Your Name 2017

  ★★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2018

  Cinematic storytelling in perfection. The film makes you as a viewer an intimate voyeur. On one hand it's the simple equation of good writing, good acting, good soundtrack, good camerawork, good cinematography etc. that creates this. On the other hand it is something more special. The story and its characters have a mysterious attraction. You want to be in the film and live through every moment and every feeling that the characters are going through.
