    Trap

    ★½

    Too many inconveniences which break the whole suspense and its most intense moments … Instead  it proposes indirectly  some laughs (which I don’t know if many of them were on purpose).
     
    Moreover, movie could be easily shorter if it wasn’t for the many live songs present in it .

    Slightly props for a change of pace in the middle… But this part is also surrounded by inconsistencies .

    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    The monologues may feel a bit tiring ,though they also present a story creative enough to be built on its concepts … Philosophical, political , emotional …

    Yet, the promise of these ideas , the expectation of focusing in a main one, comes to a territory that feels too familiar for this amazing director.

    I like the simplicity , the claustrophobic feeling of the sets to present the many themes in the beginning , maybe also in the middle part…

    ★★★★★

    Intense, brutal and from time to time very grotesque! 
    If you already saw a Dracula movie (even the old Nosferatu) , you’ll probably know the bits of the story… 

    But at the same time, it expands in some ways its fantasy + also elevates characters to a level which I don’t remember seeing in other adaptations.

    As expected from this director too, technical aspects , especially soundtrack and art direction/design , are fantastic !

    And what an amazing cast by the way, especially Lily Rose-Depp!

    I think it is my favorite from Eggers’s cinematography ❤️

    Uma aula de emoções !

    Cada cena que soa ‘simples’/‘comum’ da vida tem impacto profundo com o decorrer da narrativa.

    Momentos íntimos e de felicidade, até culturais, que são quebrados e, constantemente, relembrados por fortes realidades de um dos períodos mais tristes da nossa História do Brasil.

    E tudo isso não soaria tão factível também se não fosse o elenco envolvido (Fernanda Torres, Selton Mello, Fernanda Montenegro, pra dizer alguns nomes 👏👏👏)

    No final, não é simplesmente um grito político…
