Europe, She Loves (2016)
Generational portrait without much lows or highs
Europe, she loves is an intimate portrait of four parings all over Europe. The European aspect only gets shown in various audio clips and like a time capsule, shows some desparation in the poorer countries Europe has to offer (Estonia, Greece, Spain and Ireland). The main personas are smoking all the time and don't even get much pleasure from doing drugs. As did I from watch this documentary. It is beautifully shot, but it goes from uninteresting discussion to uninteresting discussion, dispersed by some enviromental scenes shot from a car. The music, with some exceptions, stays ambient or is gone. Some scenes are definitely staged, while I believe that some scenes are not.
As I read from an interview, the film team had 10 days at every location. Maybe the movie ahould habe been shorter. It is a cool time capsule, maybe, but I have more fun watching a reality docu such as "Armes Deutschland" where the people seem more relatable and more interesting things happen.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Just a little bit better than Justice League
Compared to Justice League's Steppenwolf, the main villian is a bit more fleshed out. What doesn't help is, that his motivation and plan are super dumb if you think about it. The execution also doesn't make much sense.
The story is full of cliches and non-sensical plans and most dead people surely will return soon again. This movie is 90% CG, some of it very bad and I could believe of even the soulless script was computer-generated
