    Justice for onion and power to Emilio holy 

    Literally on the edge of my seat, watched it for Emilio and I’m not disappointed. German dubed to english cage fighter against the mafia, the clock, the truth and custody of his child. Literally perfect action movie, fight scenes were crazy and just kept coming. This dude can take a beating and more, proving what he would do for those he loves. My top pick for XADEN in Fourth Wing and one of my new favourite German Actors.

    “Easy for you to gun us down! All we got is rocks!”

    Wow shocked, heartbroken, disgusted, captivated from start to finish. I couldn’t stop admiring the cinematography; wide shot, to close up, to panning, to hand held it. The lack of structure made true rhythm that just worked. Shot in colour converted to black and white this French film provided such cultural perspective of its harsh realities with police brutality. The intertextuality of Spike Lee and Martin Scores with hip hop, Bob Dylan score. It’s a much watch for international cinema and a legal recruitment for all French and Film personal.

    Be human

    I simply love movies that allow the spectrum of human emotion to evoke out in its fullest. Grounded by tragic reality this movie was beautiful, colour grading, motif continuum, 90 minute home movie. It brought tears to my eyes to see history visioned through the eyes of a continued generation because humans refused to give up. 

    Side note: also mini spoiler the change of colours between the characters wardrobes from Benji in all blue and Jessie in all…

    Wow, there is nothing Florance and Andrew cannot do. 
    The chemistry, the intensity 
    I felt those words 
    “I cannot bear the thought of being forgotten” 
    Beautiful script, very no liner plot which was slightly obscure to watch. As a theatre nerd I appreciate its play like approach following the emotional journey in each location as the main flow of time instead of the traditional plot of; meet cute, honeymoon phase, date, marrage, baby, diease and finally death. There are times…
