Nr.9: An art-house film!
From the very first scene I was intrigued. It depicted determination, strength, but also greed. From then on I was hooked. Determination transcends into deceit, strength into power and greed remained on top.
Totally mesmerized by every single little detail and every masterly captured long shot, backed by a thrilling score. From the perfectly written script and realness of the time, to the outstanding acting of both Daniel Day Lewis and Paul…

Nr.28: A film representing your favorite holiday!
To think I was born the same year Kubrick released this masterpiece is pretty damn cool.
It didn’t go anywhere I was expecting, which is for the better. I have only seen a couple of Kubrick’s movies as of now, but I have learned to release once expectations and just go with the flow. Because if there is one thing this movie does, that is creating a fluid flow that…
I have never felt nothing in such a long time. 71 minutes felt like 3 hours. So many motions, but no emotion. Dances, but nothing to hold on to. Reaching out, but no one catches me. Do I dislike this movie or do I hate it? The only phrase still embedded in my brain is that an ex-alcoholic director had studied with Kore-eda, but I fear 71 minutes on Kore-edas wikipedea page would have brought more emotions to me. I…
Thank you for broadening my horizons and giving me the human experience through the lens of Sanjeevani. Its hard to express why this film meant so much for me, but what you did as a filmmaker to create a safe space and to capture human life through times of sorrow and despair (very beautifully mind you). You together with all the woman, whom their husband has committed suicide, show that behind a weak man is a strong woman. Sometimes that strong woman is a woman with four jobs, two kids, a farm and studies. Sometimes that strong woman is Sanjeevani.
What 'Luca' brings to the table is a prospettive diverse for a simple story of coming of age, monster vs. man. We are so used to Americans, their culture, their language, their high schools etc. For once we get a Pixar-film that has a whole new outlook on everything.
It is clever in portraying the classic image of us and them. Disney and Pixar films has portrayed this before, where we have the perspective from the outsider/monster in the likes…

These types of dramas (philosophical, realistic, and society critiquing) are my absolute favourite films. Also why my disappointment at the end hit harder than others. A rewatch could change that opinion.
It has a cool beginning, with a recap of old Oslo to set the mood. It felt very original and also made one interested.
This is very hardhitting movie with questions about life, how to live your life and how not to. It’s a coming of age film in…
