  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Sep 2024

  I have a very complicated relationships with this film. I watched it in on a really bad day, with horrible well-being and, after watching it, I was completely shattered. It has been so gross, unwell and just hard-to-watch experience that I gave it 0.5 stars. The day after the movie, I tried to write this review (negative of course). But the more I analyze movie and my experience, the more I found good things in it. My rating went up…

  Kinds of Kindness 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Aug 2024

  "...some of them want to use you
  Some of them want to be used by you..."
  
  Absurd, dark humour, cannibalism, self-harm, dog fuck and nihilism. All these beautiful things you can find in this fairytale for the whole family!

  "Kinds of kindness" is a multilayered sandwich, which can mean nothing and everything. It depends on your interpretation of anagram "R.M.F.". Is it "Remorse Manipulation Fanaticism" or just "Random Male Figure"? Only Lanthimos himself knows.

  Яйца Судьбы-это искромётная сатира над всем российским обществом после 90-х годов, которая охватывает собой темы классового неравенства, рабской сути капитализма (выраженная в доходящем до абсурда служении начальнику) и притеснения мигрантов из-за языкового/социального/культурного барьера. Этическая дилемма между продолжением эксплуатации рабочих как рабов в свою выгоду и освобождением их из трудовых оков капитализма, показанная через сюжетную линию персонажа Светлакова. 

  Но кроме того, картина задается вопросом-что есть истинное счастье? Бесконечная жажда власти за получение трех яиц (которые могут быть метафорой трех ветвей власти…

  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 13 May 2023

  Great final of the trilogy!
  It has some small issues (such as unnecessary jokes, extra story lines), but altogether we have a brilliant story, characters, script, directing and important message about disruption of the natural order of things.
  First really good Marvel movie since Endgame.
