  Joker: Folie à Deux 2024

  ½ Watched 03 Oct 2024

  A bad joke. Doesn't fully commit to being anything. Boring as a courtroom drama, too afraid to be a musical.

  If on the first movie Todd Phillips clearly studied Scorsese, for this one he should have studied Chicago.

  Blonde 2022

  ★★ Watched 28 Sep 2022

  I saw some comparisions to Pablo Larraín's work and honestly that's pretty offensive. Larraín treats his subjects with respect and admiration, and knows how to explore the tragedy in ther lives without going too far. This just feels exploitative and shallow.

  Executive Order 2020

  ★★ Watched 16 Apr 2022

  Impressionante como a sequência infeliz comparando duas mortes não é o maior problema desse filme. Medida Provisória parece uma thread do Twitter, recheado de frases de efeito. Vários momentos constrangedores de verdade. Falta pulso. Falta ódio. Show don't tell.

  Mas teve aplausos e gritos de Fora Bolsonaro na minha sessão, então acho que funcionou com seu público alvo.
