“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Eva Mendes and since it was on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it’s almost 10 years that Mendes retired to take care of her kids she had with Ryan Gosling and it had been a while si” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Diane Kruger, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though it apparently didn’t get much love when it was released, I thought it was not bad. First of all, Diane Kruger was basically born to ” read more
“I had no idea what to expect from this movie but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Apparently, some critics praised it and even called it a Feminist Western (Not all critics did love it though) but, to be honest, it never really impressed me. Sure, I hav” read more
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, the first thing I really enjoyed was to finally see Liam Neeson in something else than another lame and generic action flick. On top of that, ” read more

Notes: I really enjoyed the mood, at least, at first. Indeed, it was so refreshing to see a main character who was poor, who even had nothing but who still seemed to be quite happy and even cheerful. Basically, we have been so conditioned to think that, if we can’t buy everything we desire, we will feel automatically miserable and I loved how this movie really challenged this way of thinking. When he got married, the movie became even better. Sure, their union was really unlikely and, yet, they made such a sweet couple. Indeed, even if they had nothing, they still felt a deep connection and I thought that Soumitra Chatterjee and Sharmila Tagore had a great chemistry (even if Tagore was only 14 years old at the time which was slightly creepy). Eventually, it’s too bad that they kind of lost me when Aparnad died and, to be honest, I didn’t care much for this dramatic turn of events. Basically, in my opinion, it really broke the mood of this movie. Indeed, after that, the main character was constantly roaming with a really grim and depressed demeanor which was hardly rewarding for the viewers, at least, as far as I was concerned. Of course, he was eventually reunited with his son but he was still only a shadow of himself and I thought it was rather frustrating, especially compared to the rest of the movie which was much more compelling. Still, even if I wasn’t completely sold, it was definitely a really interesting watch though.

“First of all, it’s really too bad I didn’t manage to watch first ‘Pather Panchali’ and ‘Aparajito’ before watching this movie. I did try to get my hands on these 2 movies but I didn’t succeed. Eventually, when I gave up and watched the damned thing, at the end, on the Belgian channel I” read more
