  Such a strong and powerful ending that connected all the themes so well, especially the struggles of marginalized people…

  And I loved how well he combined raw reality and the absence of love and empathy with a certain gentleness. And the main actress—absolutely phenomenal.

  Also thank you, Sean Baker, for a gentle cinematic reminder of how disgusting men can be (most of them).

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★ Watched 21 Feb 2025

  It was a visually gorgeous film, and the cinematography was stunning, making the 3 hours and 30 minutes fly by. However, I felt that the film opened up too many topics and wasn’t entirely sure what it wanted to say.

  Wow! This film made me feel so claustophobic and it felt like I was traped in the school with the main character and in the circular situation...

  Plus absolutely amazing performance of the main actress and unforgatable laughing scene, which was much more then just a laugh...

  Republic 2023

  ★★★ Watched 18 Feb 2024

  Berlinale, Film IV.
  - I appreciated the idea that this documentary took place only in one room and the topic of this group of young chinese hippies, trying to find peace and harmony

  - Despite a great beginning, the film became a little bit too repetitive (maybe an intention of the director to show the repetitivnesd of their style of life) and I would say that it could be like 20 min shorter

  - What I liked about the film was the connection and closeness the director managed to build with the maim character
