The Curse of La Llorona

Anora
Notes: Well, I was eventually really glad I picked up this movie for my film club (It was only my 4th option) because I really enjoyed the damned thing after all. I have to admit that I was expecting more romance maybe because Iā€™m a romantic and, even though the outcome was predictable, I hoped that Anora and Ivan would enjoy their relationship for a bit longer (seriously, I think it did last for maybe 5 mins). I noticed that the rest of the film club didnā€™t care much for how seedy this strip-club life was but I donā€™t think that Sean Baker, the director, was interested in delivering a cautionary tale about this world. Basically, guys go to such places and girls work there, thatā€™s how it is and how it will always be. In fact, I think he was more interested to display that this Russian oligarch family was actually just as messed up (maybe even more) than all these girls working as strippers. Concerning Anora, sure, it might seem sad but I think she just gambled but what did she have to loose? The big difference with Ivan was that he actually never cared for her after all but, even if he has all the money in the world, itā€™s not so sure that he will ever find happiness if he keeps on going like this. At least, even if you might not care for this movie, you canā€™t deny that Mikey Madison gave such a strong performance here. Iā€™m also really glad that they took the piss at ā€˜Pretty Womanā€™ and delivered an actually really good story about a sex-worker falling in love with some rich dude.

A very good movie

“It was my turn this time to pick up a movie for my film club and, this time, I did struggle a bit (this movie was only my 4th option) but, since this movie did receive some stellar reviews (it even won the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival), I thought we could check it out. Well, I was eventua” read more

An average movie

“Since this movie was a huge critical and commercial flop when it was released, I had some rather low expectations about the damned thing but, since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out anyway. Well, after the already weak ā€˜Strange Worldā€™, Disney somehow managed to ” read more

An average movie

“To be honest, watching Adam Sandlerā€™s Netflix movies is a terrible chore (can you imagine that I have watched almost all of themā€¦). Still, this one did seem to be interesting so I thought I might check it out after all. Well, even though it didnā€™t get much love when it was released, I thought ” read more

“After being stuck in development hell for maybe 30 years, Eddie Murphy finally managed to get this 4th installment for his signature franchise. Well, guess what? I thought it was not bad at all after all. To be honest, I think my appreciation for this movie had more to do with the usually dreadful o” read more

A good movie

“I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of the Beach Boys but I always liked watching documentaries about famous bands like this one because itā€™s pretty neat to discover a band this way and, since this one was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out.

Eventually, I checked it out and the IMDb ratings were actually pretty good so, since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as wel” read more
