“To be honest, I really had no idea what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be rather disappointing and I really struggled to care about the damned thing. Basically, in my opinion, it was ” read more

Notes: Back in those days, Katharine Hepburn was the best actress around and it has always been a pleasure to watch one of her movies. Since this flick was one of her classics, I was really eager to check it out and it turned out to be an interesting romantic-comedy. I mean, you had the usual slapstick common for this period but it had also some actual serious thoughts about women rights. Actually, I think they tried to deal with a sensitive subject but, to make it more bearable to watch, they did hide it behind an innocent comedy so the viewers back then wouldn't be shocked with what was actually a critic on our modern society. In fact, I wonder if they could make such a comedy nowadays. Eventually, the issue would be that we 'think' that man and woman are equal so it wouldn't work but it could be interesting. Anyway, it was still an enjoyable romantic-comedy with some strong chemistry between Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.
“I already saw this movie but I was eager to rewatch it, this time with some subtitles, to see if I would get a better a grip on the story.

Notes: This movie turned out to be a great start of this new year for our film club. Indeed, usually, I'm not a huge fan of costume-dramas but since this movie had received some great reviews, I thought it would be a rather safe choice. Well, it didn't disappoint and I would go as far as saying that it is one of the best movies I have seen in this genre. First of all, Yorgos Lanthimos delivered here a gorgeous movie shot on location with natural lights. Then, the cast was really strong, especially the 3 main actresses (Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone). Finally, it turned out to be such a fascinating tale, sometimes quite hilarious, with many layers and some complex characters. Indeed, each time you think you have figured out one of these women, they would come up with something rather unexpected making them even more interesting than they already were. Of course, you might argue that it was much more straightforward than Lanthimos's previous work such as 'Kynodontas' or 'The Lobster' but it was more accessible and, above all, much more entertaining, at least for me.

“To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since my wife really like this kind of Dutch romantic-comedies, I thought we might as well check it out together. Well, unfortunately, it turned out to be indeed pretty weak and what bothered me the most was how predictable and lazy the damne” read more
