“Seriously, Nicolas Cage’s career has become so underwhelming lately that this movie doesn’t seem so bad after all. However, it still doesn’t mean that it was any good either, far from it. Indeed, even though, I have to admit it, the whole thing was rather harmless, I thought it was also terr” read more
“A month ago, I hadn’t seen anything from Xavier Dolan and, now, I have seen all the movies he has directed (thanks to a DVD box that my sister bought for me) and it has been a really rewarding journey. Indeed, with this directing effort, Xavier Dolan has delivered some of his best work so far. Ser” read more
Notes: With this directing effort, Xavier Dolan has delivered some of his best work so far. Indeed, the damned thing was a fascinating drama. Basically, the Canadian made a full circle and came back to a similar tale developed in his directing debut, ‘J'ai tué ma mère'. Indeed, it was again about the struggle between a (very) difficult teenager and his mother, except that the end-result was this time much stronger and I think I have never seen before a better representation of ADHD disorder. The other masterstroke was for Dolan to step aside this time and give the lead to Antoine-Olivier Pilon who was just fascinating in this movie. Then, to make this cast pretty much perfect, Dolan brought back his 2 muses, Anne Dorval and Suzanne Clément, who were fine as well, especially Dorval. To be honest, I wish they developed a little bit more what was going on between Suzanne Clément’s character and her family but it was the only minor flaw in this movie.
“I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I was really eager to check it out again. Well, first of all, if there has been one thing that always bothered me with Disney’s animated features, it is their terrible lack of originality. Indeed, basically, most of their movies follow the v” read more
“It has been a while since I have seen this movie and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. Obviously, it is considered as a weak effort in Alfred Hitchcock’s other prestigious career but, I have to admit it, this movie has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Basically, after the really” read more
Notes: Since I am a huge fan of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s work and since this movie was a huge critical success, I had some big expectations concerning this movie and it was definitely a high priority for me. Well, to be honest, even though I really enjoyed it, it didn’t really blow me away though. Basically, the first issue I had is that I heard so much about it before watching the damned thing, I already knew about the bear attack, about his son being killed, about the main character left behind and coming back for his revenge… Seriously, nothing happening in the first half was really surprising. Then, the 2nd issue I had is that I’m afraid I didn’t really care much about this story. I mean, sure, it was entertaining but it was not really original and it was certainly nothing really groundbreaking. Still, I really loved this movie above all because the whole thing just looked really amazing. 
“I already saw this movie but, since it was a while back and, since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out again. The first time around, since I am a huge fan of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s work and since this movie was a huge critical success, I had some big expectat” read more
