Beast (III) (2017)

Worth watching

[8/10 · 28 May 2018]

There were a couple of minor points in the movie where the plot did not seem to hold together, but all together the movie managed to present a very powerful story on a way that definitely got me thinking. I'm very glad I saw this movie.

Extant (2014–2015)

Disappointing

[5/10 · 14 April 2018]

This Sci Fi thriller was very disappointing. The characters were superficial and had no development, and the plot was silly. I expected more. (Even the ending was disappointing)

Thoroughbreds (2017)

When no conscience meets no feelings

[8/10 · 24 March 2018]

The two protagonists are extremes: one is a teenager with no feelings but a strong sense of right and wrong, the other a friend with no conscience. The story of how they interact is very well told and, in the end, very frustrating...

Oh Lucy! (2017)

Movie matches reality

[7/10 · 24 March 2018]

Even though the movie was Japanese, it could easily have been an American Indie movie. Complex characters and issues that can't result be resolved. No simple answers here
