Someone, Somewhere (2019)

Good photography, but boring

[5 April 2023]

Majority of the film are nice pictures, but silent, of someone walking or looking far away. In between, very few dialogues, with few words.

Don't watch this expecting a movie filled with life like L'auberge Espagnole. It's almost a documentary about the life of most people in urban areas nowadays. Alone, looking at their phones, and seeing a psychotherapist to try fixing their sleep issues. I could have looked at myself instead of watching this.

You might like it for the nice shots of Paris life, if you're a big fan of the city. But come to the movie with a lot of energy, because it will drain it.

Mirai (2018)

Not enjoyable

[8 August 2022]

Watching the kid scream across the whole movie is not very enjoyable as a parent, you get enough of this at home. The kid has "dreams" only an adult could have. The dreams and the flying sequence above the house get repetitive after a few times. I won't recommend to anyone.

Boomerang (1992)

What a rom-com should be

[27 April 2021]

Just finished watching this for the first time. Don't let the bad reviews steer you away, this is a funny and good movie, and it doesn't feel dated even though it's almost 30 years old!

Jour de Fête (1949)

Elementary school level of humor

[21 July 2020]

Full of very old jokes that didn't age well. If you laugh at things like walking on a rake, falling into a hole or having a goat eat your letter, than this might be for you. Otherwise, I recommend avoiding it.
