Sousou no Frieren is being hailed by many as the best anime released to this day, a modern masterpiece that comes as close to perfection as possible. For those yet to encounter the nearly immortal elf, you might be wondering, "Is it really that good?" Speaking as someone who has been immersed in anime for 14 years,…

After the fun and entertaining reboot, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire falls into the typical blockbuster mediocrity we see so often today. Sure, there are plenty of callbacks to the original films, and they’re nice, but it doesn't really make up for how bland the main story feels. There’s not a single scene that really…

Knock at the Cabin is classic Shyamalan. At first, it gave me strong Servant vibes—probably because Rupert Grint is in this one too. But then it shifts gears, leaning more towards The Village, with that signature uneasy tension that starts to feel a bit illogical. The concept is cool, but it plays with such extreme…

A solid modern allegory with a touch of Kaufman vibes, and I really enjoyed it. A big part of that is Nicolas Cage in the lead, playing it deliberately average, almost dull—and yet, you still buy into the underlying madness brewing in his head.

El tema de la prisión de mujeres, las alegrías y penas de sus habitantes, procesado de forma ligera y apoyado por bonitas canciones o números de baile…

Festival de Cine de San Sebastián - película número 12. El comienzo me enfadó mucho por razones personales y consideré salir de la sala. Sin embargo, me alegra haberme quedado. Aunque presencié una película que había visto innumerables veces en otra época, la compañía de personas sin toque y emociones alimentadas con …

Festival de cine en San Sebastián - película número 6. Una película que será más apreciada por los amantes de los procedimientos y protocolos vaticanos o en general por los amantes de cualquier tipo de procedimientos. Probablemente pertenezco a la segunda categoría, pero las peculiaridades y la ceremoniosidad…

Festival de Cine de San Sebastián - película número 3. Una experiencia cinematográfica notable y fascinante, como casi siempre puede ofrecer un director excepcional Jacques Audiard. Esta vez jugó adecuadamente con la forma y, por supuesto, no descuidó la historia, que tradicionalmente tiene profundidad para él. Valoro…
