- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEllar ColtranePatricia ArquetteEthan HawkeThe life of Mason, from early childhood to his arrival at college.to beat this one is hard, it's not only because i love the film with all my heart but i also appriciate it. how the director envisioned this film, the decision that he made considering the risks of failure he could easily made, the full dedication he gave to this film. and it's not a film that will blown you the way any hollywood film could, it is a film so inventive it could only made once a lifetime.
- DirectorRonit ElkabetzShlomi ElkabetzStarsRonit ElkabetzSimon AbkarianGabi AmraniAfter a lukewarm marriage of over twenty years, a woman appeals to her husband's compassion to obtain the desirable divorce document in front of a court, which proves to be more challenging than she would expect.it's about two things, religious rules that disadvantage one being, and troubled person hiding behind it. a woman in Israel could get a divorce if the husband gave it to her, now of course there's no reason to get a divorce if the wife is a happy person living as a wife and mother and to be that person of course the husband should gave her the daily food and everything and the wife should be the wife every man wanted to. now i called that 'system' that has been fed by a lot of people from a long time ago especially in certain countries. to watch this film is to say to everybody that 'it's not that simple'. the system could be a dangerous weapon to hurt others, you gotta watch this film.
- DirectorDamien ChazelleStarsMiles TellerJ.K. SimmonsMelissa BenoistA promising young drummer enrolls at a cut-throat music conservatory where his dreams of greatness are mentored by an instructor who will stop at nothing to realize a student's potential.Whiplash or should i call the unexpected virtue of going overboard? lol, which for me is more brilliant than Birdman (which Birdman is still a brilliant film). this film is about people who push their bounderies not to become the next Charlie Parker, but become their own great name. and i totally agree with it. and about that last scene is a heart pounding beyond anything, and that's how it feels like to do beyond boundaries
- DirectorNuri Bilge CeylanStarsHaluk BilginerMelisa SözenDemet AkbagA hotel owner and landlord in a remote Turkish village deals with conflicts within his family and a tenant behind on his rent.the so-called art film is the film when it fails it sucks (cause you have to listened to characters talking philosophy for 3 hours or more and the film could fall to be hollywood prototype with a pinch of art film recipe or just simply fail) but when it delivered good and talk about something that hollywood not usually talk about and still something interesting and represent the film's origin country then the film will be a success and i will appriciate it more. for me this one is the example of the success one.
- DirectorClint EastwoodStarsBradley CooperSienna MillerKyle GallnerNavy S.E.A.L. sniper Chris Kyle's pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and turns him into a legend. Back home with his family after four tours of duty, however, Chris finds that it is the war he can't leave behind.it's an ironic and heartbreaking story of a man whom always following his nature and it is to protect his friends, family, and his country. his father call it sheep dog, a rare breed. his wife will cry and tell him that his life is with her and their children which is true. whenever he comes home he will have anxiety out of a passing car, a sound of drill, etc. he live his life with anxiety over everybody's safety even after war and have hard time to live normal again. and just like almost every Clint Eastwood film, the ending will break your heart.
- DirectorDan GilroyStarsJake GyllenhaalRene RussoBill PaxtonWhen Louis Bloom, a con man desperate for work, muscles into the world of L.A. crime journalism, he blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.to see a character developed as good as this is a rare one of these days, the film gave us a close look at a Character that is rarely we've seen in film before. as the film rolls and as more and more we hate the main character, in the end we learned that this is a social commentary, this is probably what happened with our industry right now.
