A great mix of everything
16 September 2020
The problem is that it mixes so many things that only lovers of these genres will like it. He talks about many things, deals with too many topics at once and moves in several genres, in fact, at first, it seems that he is going to talk about a couple relationship, the sequence in the car bores you a lot, until he gets home and it looks like it's going to be a scary movie. There the film goes up, but then, for me, because so many things are already mixed that it does not go anywhere.

The actors are great, especially the parents, the reflection of the older couple, you're great, we'll see if they don't make it to the Oscar.

I like the lighting indoors and at night, I don't like the day, it's like no lighting, but the rest, it puts you in the movie. How is the ice cream bar illuminated, which although I imagine it would be a plate, but it seems that you are in the middle of nowhere.

All the art, the costumes, and the magnificent makeup, in fact, lead you to believe that your parents have aged you and that your house is typical of people from those places. It fails a bit in the end, it really shows that they have put something in their faces.

The director, who liked his fans, I personally, I do not like, I do not like the way he tells things. Having to do innumerable shots in a sequence, because he knows that it is boring, and he tries to give life and rhythm to the film based on montage, but it is not clear. He never knew how to use the camera to narrate and it remains the same.

The fact is that the film goes up and down, because I think that he is messing himself up, he wants to show so much that he knows so much, that he has to put many things in, and in the end, those details that lead to unreality, such as the dance or the pig, well it's like, but for what? If you already knew.

Or how to spoil a movie that was going very well
5 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The truth is that the movie except for the porn moment that was superfluous for me, was not annoying in the movie, it was going very well until the end. In the end nothing makes sense, after being counting a movie, with a slowness, a very special tempo, dedicating many shots and moments more times than necessary, but that did not suit them, completely changes the description of various characters and we see several fast sequences, that we do not know well how to understand, each one will understand what they like the most, but really what the director wanted to say, and the film ended. Well, very well.

The film was trying to count as a liberated, very social woman, with very strong convictions, who has made her way in the world, as suddenly she is not liberated. It takes him to tell in a very pleasant way how passions arise, but at the moment of exploding, he has to put in a plane that is not necessary, which brings us closer to porn, although I imagine that it was not shot in a real way, but that it weighs heavily on the film. We have seen his character many times, it is hypocrisy personified, I can understand it. But what I don't understand is the character of the son, if you have known people like that, and some I have met, they would never have that answer. The answer would be exactly the opposite.

The actors are very good. If all, the film a lot and the actors carry it wonderfully.

The lighting without being bad, is not good either. Let's say that at least while it doesn't help the film, it doesn't hurt.

The problem for me is the director, who trying to make a movie with her special tempo, has finally burst it, without explanation. The shots many times get you away from the movie. They are so general and poorly compensated, that it takes you away from history. It has a very good pace for those kinds of movies, but in the end, it doesn't make sense.

If you discard the last three shots the movie is very nice, but those final three shots spoil it a lot

It is a way to destroy a movie
29 April 2020
I wanted to see this movie because I have been following this director for a long time. I liked his last movie and his career has been meteoric. I was looking forward to seeing what I could do on a big budget. What a disappointment I have been.

The case is that there are sequences that have something inside, that come to you, but with the montage that he has made, there comes a time when you are more aware of where the sequence will cut and what sequence it will go to now that you have seen the movie.

It has taken away the soul of most of the intense moments of the film, it is as if he had shot it quickly or did not know how to give soul to many moments. He passes them so fast that they have no emotion.

I can't stand when the actors speak to the camera when reading the letters, nor does it go to the script, nor does it have a soul.

I personally like linear narrations, it is true, but in this case, since it is not linear, it does not get you to empathize with many moments, because they are also placed in such a way that they lose all the spirit when putting the sequences in that order.

I do not like how it begins, it has lost all the illusion of a person who writes your first novel with what it costs and reaches the publisher, you have not empathized with it. And let's not say the end. With how good the other was, he has destroyed it.

The actors, the casting is horrible. It does not make sense to have certain actors in those roles, there are several that are very bad, but you could not believe them because the role does not go.

The lighting is quite good, it is thanks to it that in some sequences you enter, if not even that.

The director this time, for my taste has failed miserably. It has many planes that are horrible to us, are poorly composed. It is not that he does not use the camera to narrate, it is that he sometimes gets dizzy with the actors seated, due to the way they shoot. The rhythm is not right. It doesn't catch you at all. He has made the second worst version of the five I know.

And I approve it because it has a completely cinematic invoice and because in some moments if it arrives, but it has been long

Emotional, as he knows how to do it
28 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The pity is that it is not his best movie. He is a director who knows how to make movies, as he has shown many times, although this film did not go down in history. The most important thing in the film is to show how the state can be wrong, how individual freedom is important and how, as the protagonist himself says, if the person who finds a bomb makes life impossible, who from now on will say something when you see something suspicious.

The actors are great. From the protagonist, like all the police passing through Katy.

Lighting is no wonder. It is not the lighting of an American blockbuster. I imagine Eastwood is already more than other things that has made everything great. As he himself said in an interview, he did not like shooting many takes, because it made people waste time, if it went right the first time so why continue.

Eastwood has shot better movies. I've seen his movies where all the departments are great. I have seen him position and move the camera with wonderful precision. In this case, it is enough for the camera to play an observer role, it does not use it to tell the story. The rhythm is very good. It lasts more than two hours and does not last long. There is someone who knows a lot about cinema in command.

It will not be for posterity, and it is not his best film, but it is worth seeing.

Too many topics and none defined
18 April 2020
1596/5000 I've seen this movie, I like the genre of terror and when I heard about it, I said, well, it looks good, well, I'm going to see it. It was a little disappointment. It does not come to an end in any of the senses, well in one, the actors.

It is not a scary movie, it is not scary per se, or I at least have not been scared at any time. It touches too many subjects, marriage, feminism, capitalism, equality, but it does not end any, nor does it deepen. And it leaves several loose ends, without response.

The actors are fine, if that must be said. They are all great. The presentation of the actors does seem great to me. He presents them in a simple plane.

I have found it curious that I have seen the washing machine put on in the movie, but I have not seen the actors change costumes.

The effects seem incredibly bad to me. It seems incredible how they can be so bad.

The beginning of the film, if it had been simpler, more fluid, it would have been still great, to show how terrible nature is, but it has done it so long and so far, that it is ugly.

Lighting is nothing special. It is not bad, but it does not become an illumination that puts you in history.

The director does not get to do his job well. The rhythm has some moments where it falls, it is not difficult either, it is a complicated film. But it is not clear where to go. The narration with the camera does not exist, it is a camera that observes.

She has been lucky to take advantage of this moment, so special that we are living, to sell it well, but it is not worth as much, as they have sold it

A big disappointment
5 April 2020
The case is that it seemed that it was going to be great, I had it all, crisis, script, lower classes, independent cinema, but then when I saw it, I finished it, because it talks about ending it, but the movie doesn't catch me Because I am not excited because it does not transmit anything to me, because the actors to begin with, do not believe it, I do not see them internally suffer the script, only play a role.

Let's not talk about lighting, it is independent cinema, and it is not used.

The director has missed an opportunity to do a great work, to reach our hearts. The film has no heart, no rhythm, no tempo. He tells us a social script, to use, but misused.

I think there are much better films of this type

It can be seen
5 April 2020
We all know what kind of director Ken Loach is. In this case, he brings together several topics to talk about the poverty of today. The truth is that I don't know what the economic part has to do with the way of educating a family to their children, but anyway he uses it to take them to his land. The film can be seen, whether you agree with its postulates or not, you believe it. You follow it to the end, although later you think that with many things you do not agree.

The actors, it seems that except for the father, all are unknown, they are great. Each and every one is very credible.

He is a director who has never relied on lighting and this could not be an exception, nor does he use it to get you into history. The natural lighting of the video camera does not help at all.

As a director, it's on your line. It tells a story, relying only on the script and the actors. The rest, the obvious, does not give it any importance, the pity is that cinema, apart from telling stories, is an art, it is supposed.

But hey, you can see it, it is convincing as a movie and that's it

I'm sorry I can't with him
4 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I have seen this movie and I don't know if I have ever seen it before or not, but some friends have asked me and I have seen it to tell them my opinion.

From what I'm going to say when I was studying cinema, many people literally turned their backs on me and stopped talking.

The truth is that at first, I laughed a lot, if, up to the forty minute or so, I would rather define that part as a succession of gags than as a movie. Then the film stagnates and is the Allen that I have always remembered, until I got really bored. It doesn't usually seem interesting to me, even knowing that as a dialogue writer it has no equal, but as a director, I find it boring. I am not interested in what you are telling me. I do not see a coherence to anything, it seems that they are all snippets of something that is not known to be.

The actors are in his line, he will always be him, and she is very well. The problem is that they don't transmit anything to me.

He is a director who never uses lighting, as the photo director, whose name I do not remember, who worked with him and with Bermang, who had been the director he had known, who did more than light and the camera. He does not transmit anything with either of them, he simply does not care.

As director, he doesn't exist, he just wants to tell a story as if it were theater. The moments he speaks to the camera, seem horrible to me, you can't get more of a movie viewer than doing that. Surely if I did theater it would be wonderful, but the problem is that they are two completely different media. There is no sequence in which he puts a point of view different from that of a mere observer from outside, he never has the baton.

The beginning of the film is a clear sample of what the whole film is going to be, if you don't see it clearly don't follow.

What a waste of time
26 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
1132/5000 I've seen this movie, because it's nominated. I don't think it matters if you are a believer or not, so that you like it or not, the truth. It seemed to me, I will not say soporific, why it would lie, but if they had taken a few sequences I do not think anything would have happened. It gives me nothing. Well yes, just one thing, see how the movie, defines one as a Nazi and the other as a progressive who should be the one to send. How much cinema propaganda.

I don't think either of them is for the Oscar, much less. They have interpretations of the most common, but their characters are the most common, they are Popes, yes, but human after all.

Illumination, it seems to me. How can you illuminate a movie like this. It does not contribute anything, it does not put you in its history, and it is also ugly. It looks like a movie for TV, only that it is nominated for an Oscar.

The work of the director. Of the most common. Put two very good actors to talk. But it does not get them to be sublime. He comes to make you think the movie ends. But it doesn't end. Your camera is the most neutral.

Anyway, it's already seen, to something else

It is not for the Oscars
26 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Not much less, it's a movie, that you watch it, enjoy it, entertain yourself, and in the end, you feel good and that's it. It has neither the charm, nor the smell, nor the sensation of being watching movies.

In no time, you enter the game of being in a Nazi Germany. They have preferred to show them as idiots to show them as what they were and thus they would have given greater force to the children. It is what this type of cinema has. As it does not put you in the skin of some, then you cannot put yourself in the skin of others and enjoy the good things.

The kids are great. They are not like other children, they are fine, they do take you with the movie. However, the elders, well, apart from ridiculous, I imagine it is what he wants, but you do not believe them or give you anything. Nor is Scarlett for Oscar, papers like that, there are thousands during the year.

I don't deserve any of the nominations.

The lighting, surely everyone who has seen it, thought it was at war, or rather, on the beach.

The director's job, because apart from the children, the rest is no wonder. If it is true, that the slow motion of the end, was at great risk of being passed and has finished very well, even being too long. The narration with the camera is null and although the tone does not fade, it fails to convey what it should, to my liking.

It is a movie, to watch and entertain.

A pity
26 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is fine, but it could be much better. Personally, I don't like the musical, but of course, it doesn't take full advantage of the movie. Above all, the end is very badly finished.

The actors are amazing. Renee is great, in every way, as she has lost weight and everything on her face shows what this person has been through. But it is that the girl and the producer, are of cinema. With a sequence, the producer and the girl, you get goosebumps.

The truth is that he manages to show you how his life was, that if it is well achieved.

The beginning of the movie has one of the best character presentations I've seen in a long time. From a close-up showing you, with a movement of crane and actors, on your pitch, it shows you everything, for what has happened.

I imagine that really the costumes, hairdressing and makeup will be based on reality, but, at least, I don't think it's great.

The lighting is also very good. As it puts you in its time. It takes you from cabaret.

I don't like director's work at all. It focuses too much in the foreground. Even in the final part, or it goes from first to general and you don't see anything that happens. He did not want to end with applause which is well thought out, but what he could have achieved, he has not known how to roll.

I have not seen all the actresses, but this year the Oscar, I think it will be very difficult.

There is still good cinema
19 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
And I'm glad the truth. I had heard many things about this movie, but for me, they were not right. I think when you start watching it, you know you're watching a good movie. It is seen in each frame that has an air of cinema.

I do not know if they will give the Oscar to Joaquin, but I think he is very close to achieving it, although I have not yet seen all the films. The change in all aspects he has in his character is brutal. There is only one thing that I do not like, that blames society for how the character becomes, in addition to saying that it is bad in the head.

The lighting is very good, in fact it is one of the things that leads you to believe that you are watching cinema.

Although I don't like how he handles the camera, I think the director's job is pretty good. He knows how to maintain the tone and rhythm of the film. Get all the actors are very good. He has made a great movie.

The film had the difficult job of making another version of the Joker, after all there is, and it has worked out very well.

Warning: Spoilers
What I mean, because the first hour and something is very good, but it starts to fall and does not stop. There is a moment in which it seems that it goes back when it returns the first time, but from there, the rest is already as if I were watching so many movies together that I don't know what I am seeing.

There are sequences that seem to be rolled in a hurry. It seems as if they have not taken it seriously, as for what this plan counts, do it and finish.

When a character is applauded in a movie like in this one, it is a moment in which, either it is known to do very well, or you are going all down, and in this case, everything went down.

I did not know the case of this woman, and at the end of the film, apart from its interpretation, which I think, very good, it is almost one of the best nominations I've seen in several years, I think I saw the movie seen, just to know that it existed, but the entire first half left me.

The lighting seems very beautiful and very special. It puts you fully in that historical moment. It accompanies you.

The costumes, makeup and hairdresser do the film a great favor. They are very well achieved.

The director's job is well below expectations. He wants to tell too many things in a short time and he does it wrong. It does not hold attention. The camera does not know how to use it. Leftover movie or at least, I should have done another one counting the last half hour.

The truth is that the film is saved by the actress.

This is crazy
19 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The truth is that I do not understand anything, it leaves me many doubts unresolved. The film is credible, yes, the actors are, on acting, but it is, I imagine what the director wants, and that goes very well for the film. But for me this kind of movies, which doesn't have a logic, I don't like them.

The two actors are very good, if that is what the director is looking for. It must have been a very hard shoot, that if there is a scene, eating sand, that can not help laughing at me, thinking what the actor would be thinking at that moment.

Black and white photography is very grateful. It is not like in color, that as soon as it is not well done, it looks like a television lighting. In this case, the lighting does not put you in a world of terror, because it is not a world of terror, it is not known what it is, but it is beautiful.

The makeup and hair work is brutal. What the actors have had to go through must have been hard.

The job of directing, as I don't know where he wants to go, I don't know if he gets it. I have finished watching the movie, to do my Oscar pool, if not, I don't know if I would have finished it. But I don't like how he handles the camera, why he doesn't. And I don't know if he takes the film well, because I don't understand anything.

Anyway, I wouldn't see it whole, if you want to spend that time, it's your business.

Nominated? Doesn't deserve it
12 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Actually the movie is good, it's a part, the actors are pretty good. But he doesn't have the movie anymore. He has heard that it is fatal and that you are very bad at the end of the movie, but the truth is that I did not feel bad and I have spoken with divorced and they have not found anything special. It is a simple divorce.

They are fine but they are not wonderful either. There are other much better divorce movies.

Photography leaves much to be desired. It is independent cinema and it shows.

The most interesting thing about the movie is to know how the system works in the US and how the lawyers get it wrong.

The work of the director does not seem any wonder. If he tells the story. But he doesn't know how to place the camera or make it interesting. It is still an entertaining movie anymore.

Maybe he doesn't win anything in the end, I think that's what should happen.

The worst thing he has done in a long time
5 January 2020
Personalmente no es que me guste Scorsese, no me llama la atención, pero normalmente consigue imprimir en sus películas un ambiente de puro cine y te mete en la historia. Esta vez, para mi gusto, no ha hecho ni una cosa ni la otra. No tiene la película, en ningún momento un aire de buen cine, mas bien de televisión. No consigue mantener el nivel de atención, y es que mantener la atención durante tanto tiempo es muy difícil. No conozco a nadie que la haya visto sin pararla.

Los actores estan muy bien, es de esperar, son magistrales, pero se nota mucho el acartona-miento de los efectos en sus caras. Les quita naturalidad y realidad.

Para mi gusto, como le pasa muchas veces, no sabe terminar la película. No solo es larga, si no que le sobra al final unos minutos. No hacen falta los últimos planos, la película ya ha terminado con la llamada.

La fotografía, que era una de las cosas que mejor tenían sus películas, esta vez, le da un aire de televisión increíble. Solo las secuencias de restaurantes tiene una fotografía espectacular. El resto no es cine.

El vestuario, el maquillaje, estan muy bien. Normalmente esta es una faceta que la hacen siempre maravillosa. Pero su trabajo de dirigir, pues como siempre, no me gusta. Le encanta hacer planos secuencia, siempre sin justificar y que no estan bien hechos. ¿desde que la vi, me estoy preguntando a quien le cuenta la película? En el primer plano de la película, muestra a De Niro solo en una silla, pero la cámara gira y empieza a contar la historia. Pero esta solo. Consigue dejar demasiados bajones en la película. No sigue el ritmo. Va cambiando el protagonista y eso tampoco ayuda. La cámara, como siempre la usa mal, no la sabe colocar, o hace planos simples.

Bueno es una vuelta un poco escasa

No consigo meterme. I can not get myself
17 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
El problema de hacer películas en las que se juntan varios géneros es que unos no pegan con otros. Estas viendo una película comedia romántica y luego la haces thriller y tienes todos los ingredientes de la comedia y claro el resto de ingredientes, ya no sirven.

Las actrices están estupendas. Hacen sus registros muy bien. Tienen varios cada una y los bordan, sí, pero solo ellas, los ingredientes faltan.

No puedes contar un thriller con esa iluminación. Hay un momento en el que te recuerda a películas muy recientes, va tomando ese camino, pero vez escenas de miedo con una iluminación de comedia y no pega, todo parece de mentira.

Si a ello le sumas que al final, los efectos han sido malos, pues se rompió todo.

El director parece que no logra entender el problema de los géneros y eso lastra la película. No te aburre, pero tampoco te atrapa y al final te suelta. Solo cuenta como otro espectador. No usa bien la cámara.

Es una pena, pero seguro que si hubiese hecho un thriller habría salido bien.

The problem of making films in which several genres come together is that some do not stick with others. You are watching a romantic comedy movie and then you make it a thriller and you have all the ingredients of comedy and of course the rest of the ingredients, they are no longer useful.

The actresses are great. They make their records very well. They have several each and embroider them, yes, but only them, the ingredients are missing.

You can not count a thriller with that lighting. There is a moment in which he reminds you of very recent films, he is taking that path, but sometimes scenes of fear with a comedy lighting and it does not hit, everything seems to be a lie.

If you add to that, in the end, the effects have been bad, because everything was broken.

The director seems to be unable to understand the problem of the genres and that hampers the film. It does not bore you, but it does not catch you either and in the end it releases you. It only counts as another spectator. It does not use the camera well.

It's a shame, but surely if I had done a thriller it would have gone well

Con poco bien aprovechado. With little well used
17 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Es una película pequeña, pero ha conseguido hacerse una buena película. No es que sea una película larga, pero si fuese mala se haría muy larga ya que no tiene ni muchos personajes ni localizaciones.

Muestra muy bien el mundo interior de las personas. Hasta donde podemos llegar y como nos gusta meternos a todos en la vida de los demás hasta decirles como creemos que deben llevarla porque no se acopla a nuestras formas de verla.

Los actores están estupendos. El cambio de personalidad en ellos está muy bien llevado.

Tiene una iluminación bastante buena. No suele ser típica del cine independiente americano pero esta vez sí. Te mete en la película totalmente.

Los directores, la llevan bastante bien. No me gustan los planos que hacen pero por lo menos no aburren y saben hacer que tenga ritmo.

Es una película interesante.

It's a small movie, but it has managed to make a good movie. Not that it is a long movie, but if it were bad it would be very long since it does not have many characters or locations.

It shows very well the inner world of people. How far we can go and how we like to put everyone in the lives of others until we tell them how we think they should take it because it does not fit into our ways of seeing it.

The actors are great. The personality change in them is very well taken.

It has a pretty good lighting. It is not usually typical of American independent cinema but this time it is. It puts you in the movie totally.

The directors, they take it pretty well. I do not like the plans they make, but at least they do not bore and they know how to make it rhythm.

It's an interesting movie

Garantía de nominación. Nomination guarantee
17 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Tener a Willem Dafoe entre el reparto de una película se está convirtiendo en garantía de tener una nominación al Oscar para la misma. Otra cosa es que la película sea buena o no.

Tristemente en este caso, la película no es buena. Digamos que todavía hay gente que no entiende que en esta vida hay diferentes artes, uno es la pintura otro la poesía y otro el cine. Pero mezclar los tres, rara vez consigue hacer una buena obra y este caso no iba a ser distinto. La película es un canto poético con planos muy Van Gogh de la vida del artista, pero el problema es que no tiene ni vida ni interés.

Se ha dejado en el tintero tantas cosas interesantes de la vida del artista que la película casi no sabe a nada. No consigue transmitir lo que tenía en su cabeza, lo especial que era en su vida cotidiana, el mal genio que tenía. Parece que los genios no se pueden mostrar como malas personas, pero en la historia ha habido muchos así.

Los actores están bien, no espectacularmente bien y es muy probable que este año tampoco le den el Oscar.

La iluminación en algunos momentos es bonita, pero en general, no consigue transmitir todo lo que se supone que intenta hacer. Es demasiado blanca para la historia, precisamente si algo tenía el genio es que usaba colores vivos, y la película no.

No me gusta el director. Creo que se confunde en muchos aspectos. Tanto en el tempo de la película como al colocar la cámara. Creo que llega a aburrir muchas veces. Tener a este actor y taparle la cara como hace muchas veces es como un desastre.

Imagino que se vera la película, aunque sea por la nominación.

Having Willem Dafoe among the cast of a movie is becoming a guarantee of having an Oscar nomination for it. Another thing is that the movie is good or not.

Sadly in this case, the movie is not good. Let's say that there are still people who do not understand that in this life there are different arts, one is painting, poetry, and cinema. But mix all three, rarely get a good work and this case was not going to be different. The film is a poetic song with very Van Gogh shots of the artist's life, but the problem is that it has neither life nor interest.

It has been left in the inkwell so many interesting things in the life of the artist that the film almost does not know anything. He does not manage to transmit what he had in his head, how special he was in his daily life, the bad temper he had. It seems that geniuses can not be shown as bad people, but in history there have been many like that.

The actors are well, not spectacularly well and it is very likely that this year they will not give him the Oscar either.

The lighting is sometimes beautiful, but in general, it does not transmit everything it is supposed to do. It is too white for the story, just if something had the genius is that it used bright colors, and the film does not.

I do not like the director. I think it gets confused in many ways. Both in the tempo of the film and when placing the camera. I think he gets bored many times. Having this actor and cover his face as he does many times is like a disaster.

I imagine that the movie will be seen, even if it is for the nomination

Searching (III) (2018)

Lo obsesivo la pierde. The obsessive loses it
10 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Cuando usas un recurso para contar algo, pero no sabes pararlo a tiempo, al final el recurso te desborda. Terminas de la pantalla de Mac harto. Se basa en el recurso, pero llega un momento que está agotado y sigue con él, ahí te saca de la película si no estabas fuera ya. Está bien que el padre busque en él ordena, pero cuando ya no es el padre el que busca si no que le ves dentro del ordena, es como ¿pero entonces por qué seguimos?

Todo esto disfrazado de drama social, que no mantiene la tensión durante mucho tiempo. A ello ayuda que los actores tampoco es que hagan su mejor interpretación, o eso espero.

La iluminación de un Mac no creo que sea suficiente para meterte, al menos yo no me he metido en ella.

El director, que no sabe que está terminado, que no logra mantenerte pegado. Hace una película sin usar uno de los recursos del cine, la cámara, solo coge una pantalla de ordenador, ese puede ser uno de los problemas. No tiene tensión.

A mí al menos, no me llega.

When you use a resource to tell something, but you do not know how to stop it in time, in the end the resource overflows. You end up on the Mac screen fed up. It is based on the resource, but there comes a time that is exhausted and continues with it, there it takes you out of the movie if you were not already out. It is okay for the father to look for him in order, but when it is no longer the father who seeks, but that you see him within the order, it is like, but then why do we continue?

All this disguised as social drama, which does not maintain tension for a long time. It helps that the actors are not to make their best interpretation, or I hope so.

Lighting a Mac I do not think it's enough to get you in, at least I have not gotten into it.

The director, who does not know what is finished, who can not keep you stuck. Make a movie without using one of the resources of the cinema, the camera, just take a computer screen, that can be one of the problems. It has no tension.

At least, it does not reach me

Pues esperaba más de ella. Well, I expected more from her
10 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Cuando escuche de ella, me pareció muy interesante y me entraron ganas de verla de verdad. Ahora la he visto y bueno, si se ve, pero esperaba mucho más. Es una película conseguida, te la crees, pero se desinfla pronto. Ves, lo que ya sabemos todos, lo mal que se vivió en aquella época en esos sitios donde estaban ese tipo de regímenes, pero es que una vez que ya lo has visto, la película se cae.

Los actores están muy bien, ese no es el problema. Están todos estupendos.

La iluminación ayuda a meterse mucho en la historia, te traslada a aquella época, pero no es del todo buena. Hace a la película lejana. No es que la haga fría que también, es lejana.

La parte de arte, vestuario y maquillaje, esta fenomenal. Parece que se han trasladado en el tiempo.

El director, no llega a mantenerle el pulso a la película. No se da cuenta, que llega un momento en el que te da un poco igual. Cuenta la película desde fuera, no se mete en ella, no sabe usar la cámara. La hace demasiado larga, hay cosas que no me interesan, quizá demasiados personajes, con el tiempo que conllevan.

Para ver el momento histórico sí, pero poco mas.

When I heard from her, I thought it was very interesting and I really wanted to see her. Now I have seen it and well, if it is seen, but I expected much more. It's a movie made, you believe it, but it deflates soon. You see, what we all know, how bad it was at that time in those places where those kinds of regimes were, but once you've seen it, the movie falls.

The actors are very good, that's not the problem. They are all great.

Lighting helps you get into history a lot, it takes you back to that time, but it's not all that good. It makes the film faraway. It is not that it makes it cold that is also far away.

The part of art, costumes and makeup, is phenomenal. It seems that they have moved in time.

The director does not manage to maintain the pulse of the film. He does not realize, that there comes a time when he gives you a little bit the same. Tell the movie from outside, do not get into it, do not know how to use the camera. It makes it too long, there are things that do not interest me, maybe too many characters, with the time they entail.

To see the historical moment, yes, but little more

Decepcionante. Disappointing
10 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
No la conocía, la encontré por casualidad, pero me ha decepcionado mucho. No llega a la media inglesa ni mucho menos. Ni siquiera técnicamente.

Es una película aburrida hasta decir basta.

Los actores parece que no se lo toman en serio. Salvo la mujer del asesino, que es típicamente un ama de casa.

La iluminación es mala, los ingleses hacen esto mejor. Ni es bonita, ni te mete

El director, no consigue que la película te atrape todo el rato. Te aburres al cabo del rato. No se por qué la he terminado.

Hay demasiadas cosas para ver como para verla.

I did not know it, I found it by chance, but it has disappointed me a lot. Far from it. Not even technically.

It's a boring movie to say enough.

The actors do not seem to take it seriously. Except the murderer's wife, who is typically a housewife.

The lighting is bad, the English do this better. It is not pretty, nor does it get you

The director does not get the movie to catch you all the time. You get bored after a while. I do not know why I finished it.

There are too many things to see to see it.

Está bastante bien. It's pretty good
10 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Tiene una de las mejores presentaciones de personajes que he visto en mucho tiempo. Como presenta a Bradley en un solo momento es genial. Con Gaga no le pasa lo mismo, necesita varios planos pero no está mal.

La verdad es que no la quería ver, otra película de amor, pero como está nominada pues toca verla. Y me ha sorprendido para bien. No es la película del año, pero está bastante bien. La química entre ellos es increíble. Si bien la música, para ser una película de músicos, no me hace que baile en la silla.

Es curiosa, o al menos yo lo he entendido así, la critica que hace la película a los tipos de música actuales en los que importa más la imagen que la música.

Los actores están tremendos, todos ellos, no sé si para nominar a Sam, eso ya me parece excesivo, pero solo por cómo están los dos si lo merecen. El parece que realmente esta borracho toda la película. La iluminación está bastante bien. Salvo algunos exteriores que tienen demasiada luz, pero el resto está de maravilla. Te mete en la película y ni los conciertos, que sabes que es ordenador, ni se notan.

Como director, no le habría nominado. Si bien tiene cosas muy buenas, sobre todo para ser su primera película, pero no creo que sea para Oscar. La cámara es un mero acompañamiento, solo observa, no cuenta. Pero sí que es capaz de contarte la historia sin aburrirte y eso que está demasiado tiempo con los temas musicales.

No me gusta nada el final. Se le ha ido. Lo ha hecho sentimentalista. Los dos últimos planos no quedan bien. Imagino que no sabría como terminarla.

It has one of the best character presentations I've seen in a long time. How he presents Bradley in a single moment is great. With Gaga the same thing does not happen, he needs several plans but it's not bad.

The truth is that I did not want to see her, another love movie, but since she is nominated, it's time to see her. And it has surprised me for good. It's not the movie of the year, but it's pretty good. The chemistry between them is incredible. While music, to be a movie of musicians, does not make me dance in the chair.

It is curious, or at least I have understood it that way, the criticism that the film makes of the current types of music in which the image matters more than music.

The actors are tremendous, all of them, I do not know if to nominate Sam, that already seems excessive, but only for how are the two if they deserve it. He looks like the whole movie is really drunk. The lighting is quite good. Except some exteriors that have too much light, but the rest is great. It puts you in the movie and not even the concerts, which you know is a computer, or noticed.

As a director, I would not have nominated him. While it has very good things, especially to be his first film, but I do not think it's for Oscar. The camera is a mere accompaniment, just watch, it does not count. But he is able to tell you the story without getting bored and that is too long with the musical themes.

I do not like the ending at all. It has gone. It has made him sentimentalist. The last two planes do not look good. I guess I would not know how to finish it.

¿Cómo se puede nominar esto? How can this be nominated?
10 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Igual que me queje cuando nominaron a Lady Bird, me quejo este año por esta nominación. Pero es que la otra al menos tenía cosas buenas. En esta película, es que no se libra nada. Como se puede hacer tan mal una película. ¿Qué diríamos si nominaran a Iron man? Pues lo mismo le pasa a esta película.

Los actores están terribles. No se libra ninguno. Que mal están todos.

Los efectos, no pueden ser peores, pero si es que no están integrados ninguno. Los cromas se notan todos.

La iluminación es lo único que no es malo del todo. Pero que tampoco es para tierra cohetes.

El director no sabe por dónde se mueve. La escenas de lucha iniciales, no hay quien las vea. Después mejora eso sí. Con ese material podría rodar espectacular y lo hace muy sencillo.

La he terminado de ver para hacer una crítica en serio. Pero es terrible. Es predecible. El guion es horrible.

Just as I complained when they nominated Lady Bird, I complained this year about this nomination. But the other one at least had good things. In this movie, nothing is being waged. How can a movie be made so badly? What would we say if they nominated Iron Man? Well, the same thing happens to this movie.

The actors are terrible. No one is spared. How bad they all are.

The effects can not be worse, but if none are integrated. Chromas are all noticed.

Lighting is the only thing that is not bad at all. But that is not for earth rockets either.

The director does not know where he is moving. The initial fight scenes, there is no one to see them. After that, it improves. With that material could shoot spectacular and makes it very simple.

I have finished seeing it to make a serious criticism. But it is terrible. It is predictable. The script is horrible.

Me gusta esta directora. I like this director
3 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Al menos me gusta lo que quiere contar. No viviría yo como los protagonistas, pero si ellos quieren vivir así, ¿por qué hay que impedírselo? Me gusta el alma libre que tiene.

Lo malo es que deja demasiados departamentos sin usar y eso no me gusta

Los actores están muy bien. Te crees la película por ellos. Te llevan completamente

Lo malo es que la iluminación es mala. No existe y eso no ayuda. Si la usase mejoraría su cine.

La directora, cuenta la historia. Te lleva por ella. No usa nunca la cámara para contártela. Deja la cámara a su aire y eso no me gusta. Pero no te aburres con ella. La disfrutas estés de acuerdo o no

Es interesante verla.

At least I like what you want to tell. I would not live like the protagonists, but if they want to live like that, why should they be prevented? I like the free soul that he has.

The bad thing is that it leaves too many departments unused and I do not like that

The actors are very good. You believe the movie for them. They take you completely

The bad thing is that the lighting is bad. It does not exist and that does not help. If he used it he would improve his cinema.

The director tells the story. He takes you for her Never use the camera to tell you. Leave the camera at your leisure and I do not like that. But do not get bored with her. You enjoy it whether you agree or not

It's interesting to see her
