    Poor Things

    ★★★★★

    Lyricism at its best, a majestic tale made also of a collection of beautiful touching instants. Eclecticism and poetry, tragedy and comedy in the classical sense: a frail but splendid balance between what's been already told, what is known to everyone, and what has yet to be discovered, a marvellous dance on a string of a harpsichord.

    Jojo Rabbit

    ★★★★

    Jojo rabbit is a movie that goes beyond traditional genre classification, it'isnt a comedy but rather more of a marvelous tragedy covered by a thick cozy blanket of brightness and lightheartedness. Taika Waititi achieves the complicated task of stringing together painful somber events and colorful, wide shots in a result that closely reminds a Wes Anderson movie. It is the story of a tenacious research, by the characters and by the director and against all odds for all that can…
