400 Days (2015)
A weirdly addicting bad movie
The movie is bad, there is no way this can be denied.
Bad and cheap, both in script and realisation.
But there is something that kept me hooked up till the end, so considering it a fiasco would be unfair.
How to Fix a Drug Scandal (2020)
Too many stories mixed
The documentary should have been a movie, no more than two hours, about two parallel scandals occuring in Massachussets about tampering of drug testing and
the subsequent attempt of the police and justice system to hide these scandals.
Instead we have four hours of constantly switching between different subplots, full of repetition to lenghten the episodes.
The defense attorney sunplot in the Farak case is ridicule, surely his clients and all the people condmned by Farak's declaration suffered a wrong doing and should adequately treated and ricompensated, and their case reviewed, but the depiction of the clients like tiny innocents lambs is not very realistic, imho.
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001)
Just magic
I first saw this movie when I was a child, on a summer, at an open sky theater, with my father and my smaller brother. We didn't get much of the movie, but it was a wonderful moment of my childhood that I remember every time I re-watch this masterpiece.
Brain on Fire (2016)
An interesting dramatic insight into a rare disease
Susannah, a promising reporter with a bright future ahead, suddenly starts facing strange symptoms, that progressively but quickly make her lose the touch with reality, compromising her job, her relationships and her family. The movie, inspirated from a real story, is the dramatic but realistic journey towards a diagnosis and, eventually, a treatment.
The story is well put, the acting is on point, and it is very easy to be emotionally involved with the main character and her familiy; what is lacking is the pace, especially at the beginning the movie seems to jump too quickly towards the climax, leaving little time to know Susannah and the other characters.
