    ★★★★

    Thrilling with a few witty remarks sprinkled throughout the film, keeping it engaging and far from monotonous. Huge appreciation for Matt Damon’s performance, he was all in and absolutely nailed it in The Martian!

  • Malena

    Malena

    ★★★½

    Through the eyes of a young boy, we see how Malèna is admired yet judged, desired yet destroyed. With barely any dialogue, Monica Bellucci’s performance speaks volumes.

    The scene where Malèna is beaten is heartbreaking, you can almost feel her pain. And when her husband finally returns and walks beside her through the town, it’s clear he understands everything she has been through. His acceptance, her resilience, it proves they truly deserved each other.

    This is the kind of movie you can only watch once. As a man, it’s painful to see a woman treated that way.

    The definition of the right person at the wrong time. Damn, this movie is so painful to watch. I feel so bad for Arthur too, he’s just a Jewish guy who feels like he’s messing up the fate of a childhood love story between two Koreans. that final hug scene? absolutely gut wrenching, it’s the highlight of the whole movie.

    the whole story is basically just copying from The Silence of the Lambs, and the plot twist feels way too forced
