His (2020)

Deeply mooving and beautiful. One of the best films ever made.

[10/10 · 16 February 2023]

I cried for almost the entire movie.

I am writing this review with tears rolling down my face. I think that this movie is one of the most touching and emotional films ever made.

As a big fan of gay movies, I think that this film is so unique because it doesn't only focuses on the relationship between this two men (Shun and Nagisa), it also tells the story about Nagisa divorcing Rena and them fighting for the custody of their girl, Sora.

Additionally, this movie portraits japanese culture and how they deal with gay people. Homophobia in Japan can't be denyed.

This gay relationship is treated in such a beautiful way that it got me tearing more than once. Before finishing this review, I want to mention that I really enjoyed how the city where this two gay men live is written. This city gives the movie a beautiful ambience and I just loved it.

Watch it and enjoy! Not just a gay story, a story about a dad and his daughter, and a divorce. So moving and touching.

Triage (2022)

Such a beautiful BL.

[10/10 · 8 February 2023]

OMG, this BL is so amazing. I recommend everyone who is into BL´s to watch it because you will not be regretful.

The writter did a really good job creating this amazing story with such beautiful characters.

I really think that this is one of the best BL´s ever made. It has a really dramatic story with nice suspense.

Also, the couple of Tin and Tol is so beautiful. The background story about their childhood and their parents being friends fits so good in the primary story and it doesn´t feel forced. Another round of applause to the writter.

Watch it and enjoy it! Thai bl series are the best, no doubt.

Prisma (2022– )

A beautiful and emotional series with amazing representation of important topics.

[10/10 · 8 January 2023]

Prisma is an italian tv series directed and written by Ludovico Bessegato and it follows the life of two teenegers who are twins and their friends.

This italian production is so amazing because one of the twins has depression and the other one is exploring his gender and his sexual orientation.

The thing that I loved the most of the series is that all the topics that it has, are treated with respect and don't seem fake, the realistic aspect of it is amazingly done.

It is so important to have this kind of representation on tv, and I will never be tired of saying that this kind of series can save lives. LGBTQ+ and mental issues topics, are so important and real. We have to talk about them.

Thank you so much to the creator and the amazing actors, looking fowars to watch the next season.

Bloody Oranges (2021)

Nice comedy with a dark twist.

[8/10 · 17 August 2022]

I've seen this movie in the Cinematheque of Uruguay and it was hilarious. The first part of this film was really funny, with ironic jokes and dark humor. But, the second part gets more dramatic and dark. Also, the movie is a good critic of the society of the XXI century, which is chaotic and complicated. A world in which people can't be happy with themselves and with others.

It is a good film; funny and sad.

Moneyboys (2021)

A beautiful sad film...

[9/10 · 12 August 2022]

This is a beautiful movie which reflects amazingly the life of a taiwanese gay prostitute who is unsatisfied, sad and dehumanized.

It is a wonferful thing that this movie shows the contrast between the city, that represents the modern, the new ways of life, which sometimes dehumanize people, and the countryside, which reflects the tradition, the conservatism, and also, the hypocrisy about the homosexuality.

Queen of the Universe (2021–2023)

Enjoyable and niceeeee

[9/10 · 30 December 2021]

The fact that half of the cast is from the United States could have been a problem but, the unexpected thing is that Grag Queen won. She was the moment, she was amaaaaazing. It was time that a queen from an other country have the importance that she has.

Im sooo happy with the result and also, I think that this season was really enjoyable. With memorable queens from a lot of countrys, like India, USA, France and obviously, Brasil.

Just watch it to see something different and enjoy a little moment.

I Told Sunset About You (2020–2022)

The most beautiful BL ever made

[10/10 · 9 August 2021]

I told sunset about you is an amazing BL. In the first chapter we have the context of the relationship of Teh and Oh-aew and we see the development of that relationship into love.

This series has really beautiful characters like their friends and their families. Teh´s family is really pretty and his brother and mother are really supportive in the series.

The relationship between Teh and Oh-aew is simply pure, beautiful and youthful. The spectator can feel the love between them all the time and enjoy with them. Also, the soundtrack is unforgettable, with the marvelous voices of Billkin and Pp.

An amazing classic of BL, so pretty and essential yo watch.

The House of Flowers: The Movie (2021)

It could have been worst, an ok ending.

[6/10 · 23 June 2021]

This movie is a nice ending for "La casa de las flores".

Of course it is not a fantastic movie but, it is entertaining and if before you fell in love with the characters, it´s going to be nice to see all of them again.

Carmen Vidal Mujer Detective (2020)

Really bad

[3/10 · 12 November 2020]

Before I watched it I had 0 expectations, when I went out of the cinema I wanted not to have seen it. It was so bad. The script really empty of content and the film with really bizarre scenes that broke the atmosphere of everything. The only good thing was the photography. The soundtrack started good and then finished weak. Not recommended

We Are Who We Are (2020)

Worth to watch and different!

[9/10 · 3 November 2020]

I´m writing this with tears in my eyes. It is such a good series.

The friendship and the relationships involved are so pure and treated in such a humanitarian and realistic way. Fraser is a really complex teenager but the way that his personality is presented is so good.

Luca Guadagnino´s way of direction is amazing. It seems like made by a teenager because is so fresh and accurate that you feel young and free. And happy to discover the secrets of life and the first love and your gender and a lot of things.

I also want to make a special mention to the amazing soundtrack that it is worth to listen and enjoy.

Italy was the perfect place to record this amazing series and you will totally enjoy it! Don´t wait for something usual and comercial. Perfection, uniqueness and reality mixed to create such a fantastic series.

Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo (2012)

Heartbreaking masterpiece.

[8/10 · 7 February 2020]

The best movie of Evangelion.

This movie is so unique, the plot twist is just amazing. It is an amazing change since the other movies.

Evangelion Rebuild 3,3 is fantastic, new, fresh and modern. It is different from Neon Genesis Evangelion but is so good that when you watch it you are amazed. Also, the twist on the characters and the idea of making a change in the world 14 years later is so good.

And a point to highlight is the relationship between Shinji and Kaworu is so pure and simple. Their friendship (or love) is so beautiful. You certanly enjoy watching their scenes. The piano scene is wonderful, also powerful and really credible.

You are going to love this movie and enjoy the universe of one of the most amazing animes: Evangelion.

Sun in My Mouth (2010)

A really nice film

[8/10 · 26 January 2020]

I think that this experimental short movie is really good. You will enjoy it. It has an amazing concept and I really loved that mix between the boy who called and the girl in the phone, both characters are mixed in the concept. I also loved the thing that the audio is so important like the image and that is really, really good.

Recommended, a nice film.

Call Me by Your Name (2017)

MASTERPIECE.

[10/10 · 16 January 2020]

The best movie ever done. This is an amazing movie with a perfect soundtrack, an amazing plot and excellent actors. Starting with the beautiful place where is the house and the village where they went in one scene, one of the best. The character construction is on point. The relationship between Elio and Oliver is one of the most real and sensitive on the film industry. Also, the relationship between Elio and his father is really good (with his mother, too). The relationship with his parents is the one that everyone have dream of.

The movie is really amazing, you can watch it million times and you will enjoy it like the first time. It is a really good adaptation of the book, which is amazing, too. You must see this movie. And I think is the best LGBTQ+ movie ever done and it touch the subject of homosexuality really normal and you enjoy it and you feel so good.

AMAZING.

Dolly Parton: Here I Am (2019 TV Movie)

Excellent

[8/10 · 13 January 2020]

Just a movie to watch how amazing and cute is Dolly Parton! She is so lovely, and talented. If you are her fan you must watch it. Dolly is stunning

Hitchcock (2012)

A very good movie

[8/10 · 7 January 2020]

This movie is really good because it takes another perspective of Hitchcock´s life. The movie is really sensitive about Hitchcock´s relationship with his Wife, Alma. It is not a movie about all Hitchcock´s life but it has good scenes and the period of time that it takes is when they were recording "Psycho". It is a movie that you would like to watch if you are a fan of the "Master of Suspense".

Mamma Mia! (2008)

It is an excellent movie

[10/10 · 16 November 2017]

This film begins in Greece with the actress Amanda Seyfried singing I have a dream and at the beginning we do not understand because later, her friends and she explain to us that their wedding is the next day and that they invite their "parents", the friends are surprised and they he says he is the one who is looking for the mother's diary (Meryl Streep) and who said he has sex with three men then she invites the three (the mother did not know) then when they arrive she tells them that the mother and They were all surprised and eager to see her. Then, the rest of the film is about the wedding and about the relationship between the three of them with Donna (Meryl Streep) and Sophie (Amanda Seyfried). The scenography of the film is wonderful happens in Greece, on an island and is recorded with many scenes in the fence of the precious blue sea with rays of sun striking it. The scenography is a visual orgasm. Then, the music is the best of the film, all the songs and the actors have a song in the film, all the songs are ABBA, a wonderful band, but they with their covers are not left behind, they are all magnificent. The movie is a musical comedy and it's great, it has super fun parts as well as super sad and melancholy. The film is 10/10 in soundtrack, 10/10 in set design and 10/10 in acting. Completely recommended, look at it.
