Look Back — what’s it about, really? Why are its ratings through the roof? Let’s start with the creator. Tatsuki Fujimoto—the same guy behind Chainsaw Man. Ring any bells? If that's not enough for you, here's more: it’s the story of two girls who draw manga. That’s the core premise, but it’s Fujimoto, so of course,…

The older youth (these aren’t teenagers), chatter, chatter, chatter, having fun at the fair like twelve-year-olds, which looks comical, while we wait in vain for the murders to happen. I mean, there is one in the beginning, but you wait half an hour for the next one. It's the only one at the fair and the victim is…

An American photographer comes to Egypt with his models to shoot a fashion collection among the pyramids. When they stumble upon a newly discovered and opened tomb, their excitement knows no bounds – the photos among the mummies will come as a shock to New York! Those who opened it are not so excited, however, as they…

A routine action comedy for the whole family with a Christmas atmosphere. Everyone does what the audience expects to see, it's entertaining for the two hours or so, and then it disappears. The Rock and Chris Evans have virtually zero chemistry, the visual effects are not good, and if it weren't for the solid make-up…

8/10. If someone had told me five years ago that I’d go to the cinema to see a film about the election of a new Pope rather than a comic-book movie, I would have laughed at them, but, world wonder, it's true. Conclave is an unexpectedly gripping, atmospheric and compelling film set in the Vatican where isolated…

A beautifully clear and deeply resonant story about interconnectedness, and the blending and continuation of fates. It’s about freedom and inevitability, and a humble reverence for the power of existence experienced across different layers of reality—from grime, cold, isolation, and killing to the limitless sense of…

A highly sensitive film that skillfully and subtly brings to life an experience most young women go through, regardless of their circumstances or character—an experience that, despite its frequency, shouldn’t be accepted as "normal" or something to just get over. Perfect in every way: direction, cinematography, color…

The telephone as a murder weapon, and since Canada is behind it, it's no surprise that the murders resemble those in the cult-classic Scanners. Aside from the spectacular deaths, the film highlights the general corruption, secrecy and arrogance of those in power; at the end, the head of the company declares that any…

Humanity is controlled by a leader, a director from another dimension who controls all our movements and thoughts, but at the same time makes us think that we do everything of our own free will, that we are free in our actions and behaviour. It reminded me of The Matrix. But the homeless Starker is elusive, has no…
