Sharper (2023)

Unique film

[9/10 · 26 March 2023]

It's one of these moments that I feel obliged to rate and review a film, because I find it so underrated here. It should have at least 7,5 , not 6,6. The script was fantastic, with many twists, you saw something happening and when you thought you had it figured out something else happened. I also liked the presentation of each character in a manner that I found very interesting. A very original and unique film, that held your attention during all of its length.

Beautiful atmosphere, sometimes reminding of a film noir. Stunning photography and direction. Brilliant music from the master Clint Mansell.

A must see.

Kim's Video (2023)

Magnificent

[10/10 · 11 March 2023]

I just saw it at Thessaloniki Documentary Festival and I have this magnificent feeling when I experience something so overwhelming. I want to rate it because it s a pity this movie to have so mediocre ratings and to help with my comment other people that love movies to go ant see it.

It s an hommage to the cinema. The story is so unbelievable. Besides that, the directors did a fantastic job. There was not just a single moment of boredom. There were moments that all the cinema laughed. One of the best documentaries I have ever seen and I see a lot. In my hometown Thessaloniki festival I saw 40. Go see it. Thank me later 😎

Love, Rosie (2014)

Love and life

[9/10 · 9 January 2021]

I loved it. Despite that it's not something new and that it was relatively predictable, I loved it. And I loved the two leading actors, very amiable, beautiful and great chemistry between them. The movie is based in real life. Sometimes life gets in the way of true love. Sometimes we make choices based on the current circumstances. But true love never ends.

Rose Island (2020)

Fantastic

[10/10 · 12 December 2020]

Fantastic Italian gem, based on an unknown unbelieveable story. A must see.

The Death and Life of Otto Bloom (2016)

Rare, poetic and moving.

[10/10 · 26 November 2020]

A very moving film about time, life, love. Also very well directed and played. Poetic and very rare. Another Australian movie that I love, what's the matter with that island? Omnia aeterna.

Hidden Away (2020)

An astonishing portrait

[10/10 · 14 November 2020]

An astonishing portrait of a great artist who was very unique and suffered from mental illness.A great performance by the leading actor. A very sentimental film. Highly recommended. His paintings reminded me of Van Gogh.

Love Affair(s) (2020)

An elegy about love

[10/10 · 12 November 2020]

A true masterpiece! The script, the dialogs, the acting, the messages, the divine music, classic mostly, that ran during the whole movie in the best way possible. At last a great French movie.

Io sono Tempesta (2018)

Simple but quite good

[8/10 · 1 August 2020]

I cannot understand why this movie has only 5,6. It is enjoyable and handles serious matters successfully. Not only about the poor and the rich but also about friendship, family etc. I recommend it.

Ordinary Happiness (2019)

What a wonderful movie

[10/10 · 1 August 2020]

After 20+ years of using my favourite imdb without being a member, I just signed because I couldn't help seeing this wonderful movie so underrated (5,5). This movie is so poetic, funny, clever and talks about life, death, happiness, choices etc in such a great way. Movies like these are a reason why I love so much Italian cinema (I am Greek). See it and thank me later ;)
