This is the first time I didn't want an on-screen couple to kiss.

The film actually features an interesting story premise: an autistic night clerk at a hotel sets up a camera to spy on guests and accidentally gets tangled in an affair-related murder case. But the execution doesn’t quite hit the mark. What starts as a crime thriller unexpectedly shifts into a heartwarming youth film, leaving the whole thing feeling messy and unfinished.

The protagonist’s ending isn’t about him being desperate; it’s more about realizing that no one’s willing to fix his broken heart.

The film's poster looks like it was pulled straight from a dusty VHS tape, perfectly blending horror and erotica vibes. The plot follows a group of psychology students who break into a castle deep in São Paulo's countryside, where they invoke the spirit of the Marquis de Sade—the author of the 1791 French classic Justine.

Awesome movie I like the story & the action was on point!

The retro art style captures the 1991 vibe of Nebraska perfectly. The story is pretty formulaic: two rebellious friends, a mysterious girl, family misunderstandings, and a big brother—it all unfolds just as you’d expect. American youth feels so different from what I knew, yet the movie still evokes that universal longing for freedom and the fluttering emotions of youth.

This movie is exactly what you'd expect. If you're into this kind of film, just stick with the classics—there is really no need to make a new one.

The film is quite decent. I would even say that the storytelling quality in the first couple of hours is a major improvement upon that of its predecessor. What we witness here is Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil being their quirkiest, most energetic selves, utilizing every fiber in their bodies to create situations that alternate between serious and funny.

Why is Chris always so miserable? Isn’t it kind of the whole point to make the villain look bad in a comedy?

Who doesn’t love a good underdog story? I pop on an episode after work, sandwich in hand, and just like that, my day feels a little brighter. Chris Rock and his team are brilliant storytellers who nailed it with this one.

It's titled Lioness, but ironically, there are barely any women on the team. The plot felt all over the place. The main character gets pulled in as an undercover agent, only to be yanked around for other random missions instead. The gunfights go on for so long, it felt like I was just listening to a constant barrage of firecrackers. And after all that buildup with the drug lord, he's just casually replaced by his brother at the end? Really?

The lead actress doesn’t fit the role, and the story is super bland. I have no idea how this got a second season.

The story reminded me of "The Insider," though this film digs even deeper with its social commentary. There’s a bleakness that permeates the entire experience. As the engineer Jack reaches for that button near the film’s end, I couldn’t hold back mytears.

As the story unfolds, Roy begins to uncover the truth behind his repeated assassinations. The film not only exposes a sinister corporate conspiracy but also explores deeper themes like love, sacrifice, and redemption through Roy’s relationship with his son. Plot twists and reveals keep the suspense high and the surprises coming.

This installment is far more entertaining than the first. The plot remains thin—Austin foils Dr. Evil’s world domination scheme and wins the girl again—but the parody is sharper and the gags are much funnier this time around.

A striking debut. The film explores the choice between civilization and wildness through a unique perspective, and an innovative theme. The music is excellent, and the young actress is mesmerizing. The handheld and shaky camera work occasionally clashes with the film’s dreamlike tone, yet the strong authorial voice is impossible to miss.

The production is slick and the action well-executed, though the film also tries to juggle heavy-handed metaphors, political satire, and ideological monologues. A good thirty minutes of overwrought dialogue could have been trimmed to give the film a better rhythm and tighter pace.

With its low budget and limited setting, the film never really breaks out of its modest ambitions. There’s minimal emphasis on the physical preparation, and emotionally, it fails to leave a lasting impression.

The cinematography is stunning, especially the ocean sequences that are as hypnotic as they are powerful. I’ve always loved the sea—when I was a child, I could spend an entire day at the beach, completely unwilling to leave. The sound of the waves and wind still puts me in a trance, makng me want nothing more than to sit and listen.

Music plays a central narrative role in this animated feature, with key emotional shifts and character motivations embedded in the lyrics. At just 90 minutes, the film is so condensed that every line feels overloaded with exposition, leaving little room for organic character growth.
