Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
Very very good movie but who designed these dragons?
Very very good movie but who designed these dragons? They look completely out of place and their voices are just are ridiculous as their glittery appearance. Seriously the plot (as well as the other characters) would make a very impressive movie, just as good as Moana and maybe with a somewhat similar vibe. The setting was amazing, the story actually makes sense and keeps you paying attention until the end, animation is great, just overall very good movie even for adults. That is of course, if it weren't for the cringiest dragons/unicorns I've ever seen, that make this movie look completely cheap and silly. They will distract you from the plot and make you laugh even at the most emotional moments, thats how out of place they are. What could have been.
Glass Onion (2022)
Not funny. Too long.
Too many annoying characters. That's the main thing. It's just not worth it.
It's an amusing movie at best, similar to Murder Mystery but not as good. I think the main lead being the only non-idiotic non-rich character was supposed to make up for how annoying everyone else was, but the plot/ending was totally underwhelming. 'Mystery/crime' movie? What mystery? Is this a story about revenge?
If you think of it as a story about revenge it kind of makes sense and it's not as frustrating - just definitely skip this one if you're looking for a crime or comedy movie.
I just don't understand the hype. 2.30h I'm not getting back.
Why Are You Like This (2018)
Just three obnoxious jerks
This is just a mockery of the woke younger generations, that's all. It's not funny and it has no plot, basically just three fake 'activists' who are actually dumb, superficial and selfish as hell making everyone else's life worse at every possible turn. I wouldn't say these are believable as real people or that they are 'navigating' anything, this is just clearly meant to ridicule real life people who do navigate sensitive topics. You'll find no insight or complex personalities here, it's more like a parody but too mindless and a bit hard to watch. Though if you are really sick of young activists in real life, this might amuse you for a while.
Normal People (2020)
Relevant. Intimate.
Splendid portrait of human nature and behaviour, as well as important takes on mental health.
It's a sweet, somewhat dramatic story during which we get to fully know two perfectly realistic characters as they grow up.
We see them go through life: first love, heartache, insecurity, crippling anxiety, troubling relationships, loss, depression, moving from a small town to Dublin and then abroad. Seeing them overcome and deal in their own personal way with all sorts of experiences is truly overwhelming at some points but enriching.
I specifically enjoyed the second half of the series, when they're already out of high school and the pace speeds up a tiny bit.
This is a very sensitive, authentic story where even all supporting characters slowly become more and more real.
Definitely recommend, even if you didn't love the book.
Jennifer's Body (2009)
A very different movie. Not wholesome at all.
A female led horror movie with a bit of humor.
Not really a comedy. It's a very weird and... Interesting movie with lots of funny quotes but it's a horror movie and sad. I was expecting something light hearted and this wasn't it. But it's probably still worth a try, must be the weirdest movie I've ever watched.
Soul (2020)
Great film. Stay present.
Expectations on who we are based on accomplishments are always a let down! We are how we live. Always look around you, & remember to cherish.
So nice to see such important messages on animation films.
Shazam! (2019)
Wholesome.
I see many people hating on this film, but I really don't see it. It's wholesome and light-hearted, quite funny and the plot is not bad.
So, if you want a movie that will make you enjoy yourself, go ahead! Your inner kid will have a great time.
But if you're looking for something dramatic and intense, or just a darker film, skip this one.
Happythankyoumoreplease (2010)
Food for soul.
After reading all sorts of terrible reviews I just had to weight in a bit. I loved this movie years ago when it came out and today I still show it to people who are missing out.
It's wholehearted and a fresh reminder to take care of yourself.
I love the execution and how several engaging storylines come together so swiftly. It feels relevant, warm and real. There are also some great quotes throughout the film and it's visually stunning to watch.
It goes without saying that Josh Radnor is a bright director and (screen)writer. I would sincerely like to see more of him.
Decisively: happy, thank you, more please.
Puffin Rock (2015)
Brilliant.
Chris O'Dowd putting you to sleep while talking about puffins is perfection.
I can only say: thank you.
27 Dresses (2008)
How many clichés can one film have?
Maybe 27.
Dull, up-tight main character.
All characters are two-dimensional at best.
Mindless and predictable plot like you wouldn't believe.
I'm usually all in for chick-flicks, but this is just throwing 2 hours of your life to the trash.
Make yourself a favour and skip this one.
My Best Friend's Wedding (1997)
There will always be dancing indeed
Honestly, this movie was real and relatable. Liberating and a ballad to "the one who got away".
Even if you don't *love* Julia Roberts in this one. You don't have to.
All in for endings like this.
The Dreamers (2003)
Until (we) tear us apart.
Both disturbing and memorable. A chaotic story on three people who care about intensity in all its forms. They are all about politics, art, sensuality, philosophy and the revolution.
Completely free-spirited, they explore each other's thoughts and soul, with all its contradictions.

Before Sunrise (1995)
Refreshing and beautiful
I loved every bit of it.
Both characters are very three dimensional and authentic. They share lots of interesting thoughts throughout the film as they get to know and fall for each other.
It's very simple and warm aesthetically and feels like a classic. Lots of great quotes.
Having watched the full trilogy, however, I sort of wish this was the only film on this story.
Before Sunset (2004)
Beautiful but a bit sad.
They didn't meet up when they wanted to, but they got a second "chance" a bunch of years later. I thought this idea had a lot of potential, and I even loved it more when we learnt *spoilers* that Jesse wrote the book specifically to lure her out so that they could meet again. Also her song, proving they were hung up on each other.
Their encounter was very real as they gradually moved on from feeling a bit awkward and insecure to opening up again.
BUT they had both grown up into cynics due to having missed each other, both ending up in rather empty relationships and having such hopelessness in their respective love lifes.
They were both sort of depressed, and even though their coming back together was beautiful and very natural, I did miss some final scene of them actually together at last so that we could see them happy.
I do know there is a third film to this trilogy - but it's not the same.
Before Midnight (2013)
Overly dramatic
This is the only film (so far) in which we finally see them as a couple.
What happens throughout this film? they fight. I don't reckon they laugh together at all in this one.
We all know relationships change with routine, we all have bad days and the spark and innocence doesn't last forever. But you can still have fun with your partner at 41 and you can still love them and admire them.
I fail to understand why we didn't get anything but fighting and problems out of this one, as I don't think being this miserable is normal nor ok.
I would have loved to see them in a happier, more relaxed light together while also having some of the drama. But while watching this I felt as if there was no end to it.
I think this one has a particularly pessimistic take on relationships. On the other hand, the acting is outstanding and extremely natural.
Overall, it's very original and definitely a good film, but depressing.
Notting Hill (1999)
Heartwarming and outstanding supporting character
The actual plot? fine. The Welshman, you say? absolutely brilliant.
The Queen's Corgi (2019)
Fine
I'm glad I didn't watch it with children but I did find it amusing as an adult. It's nowhere near brilliant but it's entertaining.
Mindhunter (2017)
Great first season, skip the second
The 1st season is great and compelling. The plot is interesting and well filmed. If you're interested in criminal profiling and serial killers this is a must-watch.
The 2nd season is very different, though, it focuses on one serial killer on the loose whose crimes remain unsolved by the end of the season. All psychological theories come from the first season but aren't developed so it's not half as interesting. There's one particular weighty character's development but you get an open ending to that as well.
Overall I still think it's a massively interesting psychological show in regards to psychopaths and akin. However, the second season is slow and not much more psychological than any other cops show.
