Run Rabbit Run (2023)
Boring and Monotone
I watched 20-30 min of this, then I fast forwarded to what looked like more exciting/pivotal scenes up until the end scene as well to see if that encourages me to watch the rest. No, it did not. The mum's behaviour is not like a mom's, she just seems rather disgusted by her daughter instead of displaying any mum behaviour, so it is hard to connect to her character. The kid is just not like a kid either, hard to connect as well from the get go.
I wasn't bothered about the end at all, but I had to see if by some tiny chance I might have missed something and all this would turn into a good movie, nope. So glad I followed my instinct there. Takes a lot for me to do this. Horrific experience from this point of view for me. I appreciate that there is fantastic reviews for this movie as well, however, everybody is different.

Don't Care for any of the Characters...
The idea for a story is good and this is where the good stuff ends. The idea was not harnessed. The story line was not believable, and the characters were just blank faces and bodies, they did not convey anything. The only reason why I continued watching is that I was doing some scanning, so this was kind of okay to just have something to watch while standing still holding stuff. I did not connect to any of the characters and therefore did not care about the outcome or what happens to anyone. Hence, there was also no suspense for me.
At some point in the movie the roles seem to reverse as if their characters just magically switch. There were so many scenes where I thought....why are you not doing this and this instead? ...because the story is not ready for it yet is the only reason and they want it to go a certain way. Nonsensical at every corner.
Totenfrau (2022)
Passes Time
I did finish it, however, the reason I kept watching it is probably because of all the plot holes that made me laugh and I would like to maintain my German. I am not sure what else could have been done to make the main character's life easier and bulldozer over everybody. Everything just falls into her hands and works out miraculously.
The transcription was funny too. What I would have translated as a rude "get up" in one of the first scenes when Blum wakes up her daughter was made into a polite "rise and shine". The transcription of the answer was just as inadequate. I did not follow the rest of the transcription from then on, I just listened to the German, so cannot comment on overall transcription.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
A Treat
I watched this because it is a Quentin Tarantino movie. My expectations were low because it is about Hollywood. To sum this up for me and what I think about this movie: it is a long time ago I watched a new movie with characters in it, and this is full of them. It is absolutely refreshing. Nowadays, you only get all the dribble with flat characters and the same stories in a different setting.
The acting is superb. This movie is the best Tarantino movie I have seen, I do believe that he has surpassed himself with this.
România neîmblânzitã (2018)
Brilliant cinematography
Whoever was responsible for the cinematography in this documentary, they are a genius. Haven't seen this kind of skill in decades. It's very relaxing to watch it as well apart from the educational value.
