    Monsters

    ★★★½

    This movie is so fresh and charming in many unexpected ways. It provides many, many subtle, enriching details, they type that most movies nowadays forget to have. The topics it touches are far from what one would expect. I cannot rate it higher because it is also very low-key (except from the final mesmerizing, beautiful sequences...!), and its a bit hard to feel really invested in the main characters, so it did not grasp my soul in a really deep way as a whole... tho I should try again and rewatch it some day.

    I understand why some viewers felt this movie "lacked" in some way, especially considering its history of heavy weight predecessors; most of great movies nowadays are still not as evocative, rich and textured as older masterpieces, and Eggers is a filmmaker of his time. Yet, there was no second at the cinema where I found myself thinking about something other than what I was watching.

    In its own, this Nosferatu was incredibly beautiful, powerful and captivating for me, even tho…

    I misread the plot and understood this was about a sheriff who unearthed his own bones. I thought it would involve science fiction, time travel or non-linear time elements. Lmao.
    Luckily it was very good, enough to compensate my confused expectations. Sharp but believable dialogues, nuanced exploration of human relations and the complexity of historical, racial, cultural and generational dynamics. Its sad when you realise its from the 90s and 10 times more intelligent that most movies nowadays that deal with the same topics...
