SO good
25 May 2022
Now, this is a movie that in a perfect world it would have been one of the biggest bix office hits of all time. It is incredible touching and everyone can relate to it even though it talks about something crazy as the multiverse.

Marvel wishes they did this, even the third eye was better. A movie with heart and soul, please watch it!

Desk Set (1957)

So much fun!
18 May 2022
We all know that Tracy and Hepburn are one of the most iconic pairings of all time, but it is always a joy to see them together. In this movie they are once again two very different people that eventually end up liking each other. Other than the amazing leads, the story is so entertaining, the supporting characters are so funny.

I loved that it all happened in the office. I need to work in that office by the way. And I would LOVE a musical version of this film.

Julieta (2016)
7/10
Madre e hija
29 April 2022
Puedo decir con seguridad que Pedro Almodóvar es uno de los mejores directores de la historia. Esta película me terminó de convencer de la genialidad del español. Julieta es una película simple y complicada a la vez, con una historia nada fuera de lo común pero con emociones fuertes. Una relación de una madre en duelo y una hija que se vuelve el sostén de la misma. Impresionante y especial.

A must watch
27 April 2022
I feel that if you love cinema this is a film you must watch to understand and appreciate other classics. This movie shines because of how subtle it is. It almost feels like a documentary. We see madness, betrayal and desespertion. A fantastic film, period.

A poem about life
18 April 2022
This is the type of movie that will teach you about life. We follow this man that has had this burocratic boring job for thirty years, on top of thism he finds out he's terminally ill. This is why he decides to start living life a different way.

Loved this film and its message.

Fun!
18 April 2022
I really enjoyed this movie! It is an omage to classic 70s horror movies. Is it scary? Not really but it's entertaining. We follow this adult filmmakers that go to this farm so they can film their breakout movie. Of course strange things start to happen.

LOVE Jenna Ortega.

Come and See (1985)

A poetic nightmare
12 April 2022
Just, wow. This is peak movie-making. Storytelling at its best. This is the type of movie that will haunt you forever, that's how powerful it is. At the same time, it's a great anti-war film beacause it never hides the horrific done in wars.

Spectacular, even though it left me with a headache. At the end it made me love films more.

Iconic
7 April 2022
We have to admit this film changed blockbuster movies. I never watched this on the big screen and now I really want to.

This is one of the blueprints for adventure movies, it has everything: action, love, the bad guys, supernatural and that AMAZING score.

Love and life
6 April 2022
What a masterpiece. This is how a movie its supposed to be. This is a story about a man that has no one in his live except his little dog and a girl that is as much alone as he is.

He feels his life has no meaning anymore so he wants to give his dog, who is his only family, away.

As simple as it sounds, it's complicated and beautiful at the same time, just as our lives are.

A must watch for every human being.

Happy End (2017)
8/10
Family drama
4 April 2022
I was surprised about the bad reviews this film has. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up loving the whole thing.

This is the story about a rich family that seems to have everything but stability in their lives. I love movies about real things, about life and love and trauma.

Magnificent film, just watch it and form your own opinion.

A man turned mad
1 April 2022
This movie should be watched by everyone at least once. It starts with this revenge driven storyline but then becomes a story about a man and his journey, what he was and what he becomes.

At first it felt really slow, but with the minutes you start to realize it has to be this way.

Puro entretenimiento
29 March 2022
Entre todas las películas que ví del grandísimo Almodóvar esta es la que mas me entretuvo.

No hay un momento de calma, todo es tan extraño y único. En esta película hay de todo un poco y para todos los gustos: un asesinato, un detective drag, muchos mommy issues y un guión con la magia especial del gran Pedro Almodóvar.

Spirited Away (2001)
7/10
The perfect mix between weird and stunning
28 March 2022
Spirited Away is a film that will take your breath away. It is so well made and so well thought. This is not a movie made to understand, it is a wonderful trip that will surprise you. One of the most beautiful animated films of all time.

Bad Education (2004)

Rompecabezas
24 March 2022
En esta película del excelentisimo Almodóvar seguimos la historia de dos amigos que cuando eran niños y compañeros de colegio sufrieron abusos por parte de uno de los padres.

No hay un momento de respiro, todo va pasando muy rápido, se vuelve al comienzo, vamos al futuro de una manera muy espontánea.

Si la primera vez que la ví me encanto, cuando la vuelva a ver me va a gustar mucho más.

Hermoso
22 March 2022
Este es un documental que pone el foco en artistas cubanos de los que no se hablaba más. Una bellísima manera de mostrar la historia y cultira cubana, de la que no se habla tanto ya que se prefiere hablar de su política. Simplemente maravillosa.

Haunting
19 March 2022
I have to be honest, I didn't enjoy the first 30 minutes of the movie. It felt like hours had passed. But then it got interesting and I was able to enjoy it more.

We follow this two couples that flee their village and weird things start to happen.

So well made, magnificent sound effects and good acting.

So worth those first 30 minutes.

So moving
16 March 2022
As a huge fan of the 2021 film "The worst person in the world", directed by Joachim Trier, I was really excited to watch this one.

It really surprised me when a read that this was his first film ever. This is a story about life, and all that comes with it, love, loss, dreams, mental problems, adulthood and friendships. A really touching film that will make you sad and happy, just like life itself.

Turning Red (2022)
7/10
Adorable
14 March 2022
As always, pixar gives us another cute and adorable new movie, but this time with a twist. We follow Mei, this 13 year old girl that is going through puberty and plus, she becomes an adorable red panda every time she gets stressed, angry or excited.

This is a beautiful metaphor that describes the horrible and great teenage years. It depicts healthy friendships and the complicated relationship between mother and daughters.

Didn't make me cry, like other pixar films did, but it warmed my heart.

A trip
8 March 2022
This film surprised me, in a really good way, I knew absolutely nothing about it, and that was even better. Strawberry Mansion is a fantasy, scifi, romantic epic movie that will entertain you. I loved it, even though I agree it is not for everyone because it's really random.

I enjoyed every minute and will probably watch it again. For me, one of the best films of 2021.

Now, this is art
6 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Xavier Dolan has become one of my favorite filmmakers. He makes movies about important topics mixed with beautiful shots, spectacular stories and incredible acting. He truly never dissapoints and Laurence Anyways has to be one of my favorites.

We follow this hard yet emotional journey in which Laurence loses the love of her life but gains her true self. A must watch.

The Batman (2022)

A different batman
6 March 2022
Robert Pattinson was a great choice to star as batman. And I say batman because we see really little of Bruce Wayne and I really enjoyed that.

Loved the plot and the tension built around the riddler, perfectly played by Paul Dano.

Gotham is dark as ever, and that makes this movie really great. A little too long for my taste, but worth it in the end.

Los fantasmas no lloran
3 March 2022
En esta película vemos a una mujer vivír su día a día, tratando de sacar a delante a su familia. Su marido es un hombre perdido que tiene un final, se diría, merecido. Al continuar la historia nos enteramos del pasado, traumas reaparecen y dolores viejos vuelven a herir.

El centro de la historia es el amor de madre, lo que ese amor tan grande es capaz de hacer por un hijo o hija. El amor más puro, sin lugar a dudas.

Almodóvar nunca decepciona, uno de los mejores de la historia del cine.

Color y Dolor
24 February 2022
La realidad es que el dúo Almodóvar-Cruz nunca falla, y esta es otra demostración. En esta película vemos a Janis, una mujer embarazada que cruza su camino con Ana, una joven que también está esperando un bebé. Todo cambia cuando un error hace que estas mujeres se enfrenten a un dilema. Penélope Cruz siempre espectacular, más cuando trabaja al lado de Pedro Almodóvar.

A breath of fresh air
23 February 2022
I saw Licorice Pizza at the cinema and it was a really fun experience. This is a movie you just enjoy, through and through. It made me laugh and it distracted me with an enjoyable story. Alana Haim was incredible, really hope to see more of her in the big screen.

Another Paul Thomas Anderson film that doesn't disappoint.

Flee (2021)
9/10
A must see
23 February 2022
Flee is a beautiful documentary that shows the hardships of being an immigrant. We follow the fights they face everyday and the trauma that comes with them.

Original and emotional, a movie everyone should watch.

My hope is for it to win the academy award for best animation.
