Confessions (Kokuhaku) 2010, Unrated)
Almost a perfect movie, for me. Gives us some of the most beautiful scenes that i´ve seen in a long time. The first 30 minutes, the monologue of the teacher, are brilliant. Still dont know why wasn´t nominated to the oscars. im pretty sure it´s gonna be a cult movie some day and put Nakashima in the elite of the actual japanese directors. |

Blue Valentine 2010, R)
A flick to a end-begging, yes, in that order, love story. The photography its also really good. and depicts in many ways the feelings of the characters, It provide us with some clues; in a moment in the time what was a happy love, almost ideal, ends up in a tense, full of recriminations, interrupted speeches and hard feelings. The hole movie mix you because go forward, back, backward, and at the end its just a blow and tell us almost the consolidation of their relationship and the end of it at the same time, so the timing it´s perfect. |
|
| 22 |
The Man Who Loved Women 1983, R)
Really weak in comparision with the original. A sentimental flick, which Hollywood seem cant avoid, to the idealized idea of love that lacks in the Trufffaut´s original movie, but is exactly that, the inability of the principal character to love that make it work so fine and made it a masterpiece.If werent the precedent of a previous work maybe this should have get a better score. |

Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetery Man) (Demons '95) (Of Death, of Love) 1996, R)
Bizarre. hilarious, mysterious, hilarious and in some point reflexive and philosophical, like in the end monologue. It´s and strange and extreme ride through one of the less known and more interesting zombie movies of the nineties. The acting of Everett is great; the story is not the most brilliant point, but the scrip has some really remarkable lines, and if we combine the acting in give us a strange and enjoyable zombie-horror.black humor movie. |

Drive Angry 2011, R)
Lets be honest this is not an art movie it´s a pure action ride and give us what offer, nothing more or less, Its a hell of ride; thats his biggest attribute, it´s an honest movie. Its not trying to change the genre just do what it should and all we have to do is tight our belt an enjoy the demential action. The acting, in general, it´s pretty good; Fichtner character it´s one of the most interesting in the movie and Cage, i don't know if he did this movie for pleasure or money, must be the second, it´s magnificent in his almost inmortal kick ass character. |

Wui wan yeh (Out of the Dark) 1995, Unrated) |

The Virgin Suicides 1999, R)
A dying tree, a puzzle to complex to be solved for anyone, a poison that spread in the air, an unrevealed truth, mundane and irrelevant facts that make us wonder why cant forget some events that happened so long ago. This movie wonders about so many issues and do it with so much deepness that the result it´s a magnificent and bright, and dark at the same time, world.Sofia Coppola it´s actually one of the most interesting directors and this, her first work, it´s my favorite among all her movies, and i have seen it all, it´s almost perfect. |

Go 2002, Unrated)
The hard life of a Zainichi (koreans born in Japan) its depicted in this movie. Race and racism are the principal matters of the film, with the personal journey of self recognition of the principal character. The movie shows how hard can be the life for foreigners that live in Japan and how racist could be the japanese society. Everyone had have the feeling of being a misfit but here the main character its a real one, that and the relationship with his father are some amazing things to enjoy this great movie. |

Oki's Movie 2012, Unrated)
Hong Sang-soo its a master presenting the life and the diferent parts of it . His movies are in some way a little slow but never boring and his work are lessons of life. You can feel the life happening when you watch it. If with some filmmaker we can use the word of "Slice of life" to describe his work is Hong |

Deadgirl 2008, R)
I never before thought in a zombie like a sexual object and deserving of our desire, so i give credit to the movie for the new and innovative flick. This movie is disturbing and just for the new approach deserves to be watch. Its not Oldboy or a masterpiece but im really sure that in a few years it will be a cult movie. |

3 Women 1977, PG)
Based on an Altman´s dream this is a movie very open to the interpretation. I even read that Altman itself say that he isnt able to say what the movie means or whats the significance. The people who watch the movie tend to try to understand the film but, i believe, this is the kind of film that you must enjoy and feel, although its our nature try to explain every little thing in this time i suggest just let the film do the magic on us and dont be so rational because at the end this is a dream. |

The Fantastic Water Babes (Chut sui fu yung) 2010, Unrated)
The first 50 minutes are good, you can enjoy the movie very well, even the unrealistic and exaggerated plot. What its good in other movies of Lau, the pointless sense of humor and jokes, the mix of semi mythical plot in a different context in this film feels so wrong and uneasy. Over the end you cant give much about the special effects, and the exaggeration of the sequence of the pool make you lose the previous attention of the movie. The best of the film the acting of Gillian Chung and Eva Huang. |

Dao (The Blade) 1995, Unrated)
"My generation doesn't have any choice. I don't want to wonder like a ghost." These words said by Ding On before he fights against the killer of his father can depicts how he ended in that situation and the reason why this movie is so visceral, Not only is about revenge but a profound reflection about violence. Blood, dismember bodies, people killing each other without a clear reason, this is a wuxia that break the romanticism that evolves other movies of the same type. The violence is permanent in the film, It's a nonsense violence theres no reflection about that, but thats the intention of Hark, violence is there but never with a clear reason, and thats make you think that is because we live in a violent world where the only truth is a man's strength. |

Kimi ni Todoke 2010, Unrated) |
|

Wandâfuru raifu (After Life) 1998, Unrated)
This film is not just about the nostalgic of life and the importance of memories, altogether it's a tribute for the making of movies and how they made us feel and how deep is in our psyche; this is represented by the final moment that the main character chose, at the end of the film, were not only the memory is in the film but the movie is the memory itself. |
|
| 72 |
Drama/Mex 2006, Unrated)
The most of mexicans films tend to be, or at least try but fail miserably, profound and philosophical, but this is close enough to that. This film lets you a dry sensation in your mouth, its in some way overwhelming. Maybe the weak point its the inability to handle all the stories, its has some slumps because of it. Even that, Naranjo its a powerful and innovative, for Mexican cinema, director that has a promising career. |

Hotel Chevalier 2007, R)
"We fuck and I'm feel like shit tomorrow. -Thats OK with me" |
|
| 74 |
The Royal Tenenbaums 2002, R)
When Royal Tenenbaum tries to recover his family back the weird situations, and still fresh wounds of the past get out to the light in so many humorous ways that this must be an obligatory film to every person that enjoys the movies. I'm still not sure if its a masterpiece or not but i think its an indispensable title under the family subject. |
|
| 75 |
Voy a Explotar (I'm Gonna Explode) 2008, Unrated)
The previous film of Naranjo, Drama/Mex, was already interesting but he learned a lot in the years that happened to make this movie. The most of the critics and people has reason, this movie actually has some resemblance to the nouvelle vague, specially Godard, and this is saying like a compliment, because its a great film, with a great script, some parts are marvelous, the first 25 minutes are hallucinating and the end is heartbreaking. At the end one of the best mexican movies that i have seen in a while. |
|
| 76 |
Thor 2011, PG-13)
I wasn't really sure that was summer until i watch Thor, this is what a summer blockbuster must be; The movie Its an spectacular film, great acting and magnificent special effects, O.K, is not a piece of superb art but shows that marvel is increasingly making better superhero movies, since the first Spider man to Thor,passing trough Iron Man, and thats are good news to the next Avengers movie. |
|
| 77 |
Cold Fish 2011, Unrated)
Slightly based on a true story the film depicts the reasoning of a serial murder and how he bursts into the life of a tepid and weak man. Despite the fact the extremely gory scenes, that never seems inadequate, and the misogynist points reflects a completely rare and tainted atmosphere were the life is such a burden and can't end in another way which makes, with a desperate scream to the life and pessimism. |

Hereafter 2010, PG-13) |

Dance of the Dead 2008, R)
I have to say that the movie wasn't that funny and interesting. Its a teen-zombie comedy, but doesn't have a good rhythm, it has big slumps and bad jokes, and keep all the stereotypes of the teen movies. Actually its one of the worst zombie movies that i have watched, and i have watched a lot of zombie movies, i mean, there are some really bad movies. Even when doesn't long so much i feel it like eternal, even oversleep for a few minutes. |

Watching it Rain (Ver llover) 2006, Unrated) |
|
| 81 |
I Spit On Your Grave 2010, R)
Im not a big fan of the rape&revenge movies, actually i don't enjoy ti too much, but to be fair this is an entertaining movie. The gory and torture scenes are well make it. Maybe its too long, the script doesn't justifies almost two hours. Despite the fact that this movie, and the original, make us believe that in the south of USA every men are unable to control himself and almost could rape a goat, is not bad, there are good acting and the revenge scenes are very inventive, kind of Saw. |
|
| 82 |
24 Cuadros de Terror 2008, R)
Avoid it at all cost. This is the crappiest movie that i have seen, and i have seen some bad movies .I watched this with the forward button press all the time. The acting its beyond the terrible, the history its awful. They mix terror, snuff, thriller; put all that in a bender and you get an abomination. I highly recommend this movie for all the people interested in movies, thanks to this you know what you must never and never must do. |
|
| 83 |
The Hurt Locker 2008, R)
This is a very powerful film, not only because of the subject but the way of treat it. The end scene its a great and amazing part that depicts clearly the subject of the movie, the fact that are people that just need ti be in a cold, hard and threatening situations, in the end we can see how the words of the beginning of the movie are fully met "For war is a drug" and the main character cant avoid the need of be there. |
|
| 84 |
Reprise 2006, R) |
|
| 85 |
Kiraware Matsuko no isshô (Memories of Matsuko) 2006, Unrated)
This movie its a mix between a quirky musical drama and comedic event. Its a completely Nakashima's style: colorful, handsomely shot, a bizarre story, kind of fairytale, and search for meaning in life.Matsuko tries, all the movie, avoid the loneliness and find the true love, in some part the loves isn't the important issue but stop being a loner. A lot of people fin this movie sad but it isn't that sad or even dramatic its the reconstruction of a life by all the people who formed part of her, and life not always is pink. |
|
| 86 |
JCVD (Van Dammage) 2008, R)
Definitely the best performance of Van Damme, not in years but in his life. All the problems and even decadency of the actor are reflected in the movie and its for real that are some magnificent parts. All his journey, from the airport to his monologue are exquisite, obviously we can see how big he is in Belgium, his birthplace, and all the circumstances that are around him. |
|

I'm Here 2010, Unrated) |
|
| 88 |
Canciones de amor en Lolita's Club 2007, Unrated)
In some point you asked, what im looking?The answer is nothing really important.The film had potential but the script didn't help in some point you think he is a very bad ass cop but the end isn't coherent. Opens to many paths and barely close one or two. Its disappointing in some ways because Aranda has some interesting movies but this doesnt is one of them. |
|
| 89 |
Ghost World 2001, R)
Far away from those sparkling high school graduates that seem to have a brilliant future in the next years this is a more realistic presentation for what happen for some people when they end this part of his life and grow old and apart for some persons that we believe they were to be with us for a long time. We must say that to be a coming of age movie doesn't feel that way, a kind of lack that youth spirit but i have to say that i like the almost enigmatic end. Slightly overrated but its good movie. |
|
| 90 |
Hobo With a Shotgun 2011, Unrated)
The soul of the grindhouse its well represented with this movie. While it's not a movie of art works in many levels. A times is funny and a times it's pure action. The best part of the movie its the acting of Hauer while the script its nothing exceptiona, except from the original idea-A hobo with a Shotgun-,l he portrays a very credible Hobo trying to clean and wash away all the cufrrupt society of scumtown. |
|
| 91 |
Shiki-Jitsu 2001, Unrated)
Definitely i'd rather the Anno of Evangelion but this movie, based on a book of Fujitani, principal character of the movie and daughter of Steven Seagal, it´s a fragmentary story where we never know for sure what is real and whats not. The presence of Iwai, independent filmmaker, acting, in some way, like himself, gives another point to remark. It's not the best movie but worth watch. |
|
| 92 |
The Changeling 1980, R) |
|
| 93 |
The Killer Inside Me 2010, R)
The acting in this movie its one of the strong points. Is not as deeper as, i believe, the director try to do it, but its a really good thriller. The cold and cynical manners and the nervous smile of Affleck made credible his character as a psychopath that don't know why he kills. The lack of a bigger introduction to the rest of the characters made a bit confuse the fact of why, Joyce specially, they endure some actions of Lou. The love between the prostitute and the sheriff doesn't feels too much real, theres no much chemistry, so thats the weakest point of the film. |
|
| 94 |
Hello Stranger (Kuan meun ho) 2010, Unrated) |
|
| 95 |
A Little Thing Called Love (Sing lek lek tee reak wa rak) 2010, Unrated)
A naive love story between an ugly but kind hearted girl who changes herself to draw the attention of the boy that she loves. Its a positive movie that praise the power of love. Its well acted and had a very decent script. At the end i believe what the trailer said, that the 89% of the people who watched the trailer have been trough that experience. Almost two hours its a bit long but it has a great rhythm, this is another thai movie that worth to watch. |

White Zombie 1932, Unrated)
The history its good and interesting, its a movie about zombies and for much that we love them this kind of zombies are a little different, not entirely dead but controlled by a chemical of a flower, and we can enjoy the acting of Lugosi, and overacted Lugosi if you ask but that was his style and im fine with that. |
|
| 101 |
The Hangover Part II 2011, R) |
|
| 102 |
X-Men: First Class 2011, PG-13)
This was an exceptional movie, the other x-men movies were a little weak and they were only entreating and not too deep. This movie has and excellent scrip and story. Maybe the most of the big fans of the comic will be moaning for the change on the original members of the first class,i'm a little upset about that too.Despite that the cast is really good, and Magneto was the best, with Kevin Bacon, i don´t enjoy the character of Professor X, he was almost a saint, dont do this dont do that, and that was boring. |
|
| 103 |
Source Code 2011, PG-13) |
|
| 104 |
Red White & Blue 2010, Unrated)
Doesn't have the greatness of some vengeance movies, right now i can only think in some korean examples, but its a great movie. It was a completely surprise i was`'t expecting much of this film but the acting of Taylor, i haven't seen nothing of him before this, was spectacular and the history it's great. The slow rhythm at the beginning give more power to the comings parts. |

Hanna 2011, PG-13)
This movie has a good story, nothing outstanding but good enough, good performances, specially Blanchet you really get to hate her, and great producing values and even that its lacking of something. It's an action film and i never felt the thrill , sure has some good scenes of kicks and killings but it's a flat movie, the story runs and even that i felt like nothing was happening, even that its enjoyable, |
|
| 110 |
The Crazies 2010, R) |
|
| 111 |
Mong bat liu (Lost in Time) 2003, PG)
Compelling story that involves two persons that are trapped by his memories. I have to say that this was an excellent movie and a surprise to me. The director, Tung-Shing Derek Yee, its an ave raris in the actual Hong Kong panorama, the most similar filmmaker would be Wong Kar Wai. This made him a good choice to watch. Is far from the wuxia style or the martial arts movies or the style of To, Hark or others but his way of look the world involves a nostalgic and reflexive point of view. |
|
| 112 |
Wong gok hak yau (One Night in Mongkok) 2004, Unrated)
To the people who like the action movies and the crime films, that usually have a fast action, this movie will be a little slow and maybe boring but actually that is because this is more drama than an action film. The performance of Cecilia Cheung is magnificent, she is a great actress, and the end of the movie gives you with a bittersweet flavor.Another great movie from this interesting filmmaker. |
|
| 113 |
Sum yuen (Forest of Death) 2007, R)
A tepid movie from by one of the Pang brothers and having in mind Aokigahara also known as Jyukai (sea of trees) placed in the base of Mount Fuji; the film is about a forest where the people goes to kill themselves. The main problem is the script, it very unrealistic, nothing wrong with that because is one of the foundations of the horror movies, but in this case i never felt that was justified. The first 50 minutes the plot is about a killing that is solve and then the supernatural arrives, the sub plot about the relationship problems is dull and not effective.But even that has some interesting point, like the way the phantoms are represented here, not like something threatening but spirits that are searching the peace and purge their sins. |
|
| 114 |
Begotten 1991, Unrated)
If this were a short film maybe we will be talking about a masterpiece but this is too long and certainly is a bit dull and pretentious.Its a great material fora college class but not for professional cinema. In some moments reminds me Terayama's short films but is not good enough. |

|
| 119 |
Martyrs 2008, R)
Certainly is an original film and im pretty sure is a masterpiece for some people but for me is just a good movie. The first hour is great, the best part of the film then we just realize there is some kind of secret group that try to make martyrs to achieve the experience of death and be sure whats come next, if there is a world after the death. Like i said i enjoy the first hour but then i don't really like the rest of the movie, except for the end, but is part of my character i dont enjoy the torture movies that much and the performance of Anna,Morjana Alaoui, is so regular. In the other hand, all the good part of the film rests in Lucie, Myléne Jampanoi, and the brilliant performance that gives. |

It's Only Talk (Yawarakai seikatsu) 2006, Unrated)
Slow film but is perfect in many ways and it's a sad tale about loneliness. Im saying a generalization but in the Japanese cinema is were i find more than the called "slice of life" movies and a master in those kind of films is Hiroki. The performances of Sinobu Terajima and Etsushi Toyokawa are simply amazing and moving, (the scene in the karaoke one of the best). This film centers his plot in Yuko and her problems with depression and her relationship with men, specially the weird bond that makes with his cousin. Actually this film remind me a lot of Antonioni because a lot of things happens but you don't know if the main problem was solved, or even if there was a problem. The movie end is as depressing as astonishing and you end up having that void in the stomach, that feeling that could make you believe that everything was in vain, but it wasn't is just that some movies are pretty much like life itself, and doesn't have a proper answer or way to end it. |

Friends With Benefits 2011, R) |
|
| 126 |
Aus dem Leben der Marionetten (From the Life of the Marionettes) 1980, R)As always watch a film of Bergman its an introspection to the human soul. This film is not one of his best but it´s interesting enough. In some moments reminds me The Rite, also of Bergman, but The Rite was a most shocking and intense experience. All in all and even if is a minor work in Bergman´s filmography its an obligated film to watch. |

Carnival of Souls 1962, R)
A rara avis in the horror films. The acting, except for the principal character, are awful, but manages to do a great film. Its disturbing in many ways , a little predictable but is not that bad. The atmosphere is the best of the film, the script is rather poor but the story is interesting. In many ways is much better that some actual horror movies. |

Sunset Boulevard 1950, Unrated)
Wilder always are there to amaze us, and here the story is nostalgic and brutal. Faded star that lives in her fantasy world just with her chauffeur, maybe the most interesting character. This movie is great not only because it's a critic to that, in some ways naive, era that used to be represented by the silent films but the use of characters represents the history itself, faded and solitary stars condemned to oblivion and wanting to make his big come back, hungry writers that has lose the joy of write and just make scripts for not dying of starvation. |

Grave Encounters 2011, Unrated)
The first time i watch a mockumentary i was a kid and at the end of the film i had the sensation that everything was a giant scam. Yes! Someone tells you one thing, you are gonna be so scared and that, and you get a boring film. So i don´t feel much sympathy for these kind of movies, the only exception is REC, but i read some good critics about this, its going to be in SITGES, so i give it a chance and the result was In the beginning, the first 20 minutes are some kind of critic of those shows that infest the television networks of all over the world and actually i think that is the biggest failure, you never feel that you are watching a movie but a TV program. So the verdict, another crappy mockumentary with very predictable scenes and end. |

The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief 2006, Unrated)
How should i put this. This documentary is about men of host clubs who earn his money from prostitutes. Indeed some girl say, during an interview that "70 or 80% of the money of the host are from Fuzoku (prostitutes)". So the revealing and disturbing about this documentary is that many girls became prostitutes to earn enough money to be with their host. All in all we know that everyone knows the truth about his lives; the hookers know that they are doing and stupid thing trying to buy love and the host know that they are guilty for many of the situations of the girls, but they keep doing it and that disheartening . A very interesting documentary, and maybe the only weak point is that doesn't feel like a real documentary but a TV news feature. |

Mah nakorn (Citizen Dog) 2004, Unrated)
Maybe i wasn't in the best mood when i watch this film because, for all the things that i have read, i was expecting something more interesting but is more a series of vignettes of stories and characters. This is a surreal movie, thus is intrinsically strange and refreshing but is not the best Thai film of this type, just see Last life in the universe. |

Dream House 2011, PG-13)
Yeah, i was in the theater watching this film it was predictable but i was having a good time even with that but then the final 15 minutes came. I'm a bit upset because this film had potential, could have been a much better film that was. The crappy cliches and the stupid explanation of the murder of the previous owners of the house (the persons who already have watched this film understand) was too much for me. Even that is not the worse thing that i have seen. |

The Art of Getting By 2011, PG-13)
This is an strange film but not for his plot or structure but what make us feel. It has an strange mix, in some moments is pretentious, maybe until the half of the film, but then surpass those moments and reveals a raw and honest film and then pretentious again. Even when the soundtrack is good, there are a few moments when you get sick of it.All in all the movie has some remarkable moments or maybe was just me that felt some empathy with George, Highmore character. |

Princess 2006, Unrated)
The movie is a critic to the pornography and the consequences of that. Interesting, I really enjoy the plot and the mix of human actors and animation, even when the drawings are a little crude. Shocking in some moments, like when August breaks a little kid's arm, but the slow peace and some innovative points, like when he kills some people in the restaurant scene, make an essential film, animation or not. |

The Haunting 1963, G)
Lets put this in the right context, this is a 60's film. The terror was different in those moments, nothing to do with the gore and killing that floods the most of the horror films this days, with some exceptions. Personally i feel more close to this kind of terror. Is more surreptitious, like the horror should be. you don't fear the supernatural because is something tangible but something that is occult, something that you don't know what is or how face it. |

Glasses (Megane) 2008, Unrated)
Slow paced film with a soothing feeling. The most amazing an this film us that in the 40 first minutes nothing really happens, actually its a characteristic that remains the rest of the film, but even that you never get bored. The quiet atmosphere and the beautiful sea is a permanent reminder of what are you seeing. |

Trick 'r Treat 2006, R)
I read some critic about this film and i think its a bit overrated but in essence i find it good, at least is an original story and that's a big achievement this days. Highly recommended for halloween days.Maybe the less interesting story, of the four, is the one of Anna Paquin. Is a definitely must see. |

Let Me In 2010, R)
Obviously the note for this movie down a little just because is a remake and that means lack of originality but other than that this is a really good movie. The first time i hear about the remake i said why? why ruin something that was almost perfect and i was reticent to watch it and when i did it was almost a year later but this film already stands for his own merits, for instance the scene in the hospital is even better than the original but the pool s scene is way inferior. |

Maboroshi no hikari (Maborosi) (Illusion) 1995, Unrated)
Reflexive film, one of the firsts of Koreeda, the plot is one of the recurrent themes in the work of this filmmaker, the grief and how the people handle this. Now, the long takes immerse you in the mind of Yumiko, who can´t forget er late husband's death, but at the same time left you away. In some moments you can hardly distinguish what is happening, you heard the words but the camera is really far away to know the gesture or even the movements.This make us feel as isolated as Yumiko, and thanks to that we can be emphatic to her. |

Melody 1971, G)
A good movie, i guess this would have a powerful effect if i have watched this in my childhood but since in my mid twenties it's only a good film.The plot is simple, the acting of the kid is nothing remarkable, in opposition to the girl and his best friend, Onshaw, and the structure is a bit odd, for example, never has a real plot. But even that is a naive and coming to age love story. |

The Debt 2011, R)
I guess some people wont going to find this as good as it is. Is not only the cast but the story but the fact that is a slow paced thriller going to be a good excuse for some people to underrate this film, that and the end, very open, wont be very popular because the most of the people want an explicit end.All in all this is one of the best films that i have watched this year. |

Attack the Block 2011, R)
This film was unexpected, i have heard that was good, but is, over all, enjoyable. It kinds of remind me Super 8, but this was better. Its a mix, comedy, science fiction and adventures but has good results. The performances were rather good and the kids have great chemistry. Not a work of art but an original film with an alien invasion that has a credible explanation. |

Dementia 13 (The Haunted and the Hunted) 1963, Unrated)
This movie could be compared to Psycho but i think one of his strong points is the multiple doubts that gives you. At the beginning we can't say clearly what is going on, it seems like a haunted castle story but then we realize is about killing and madness, at moments reminds me multiple films of the 80's, like Friday 13th. |

Goodbye Dragon Inn 2003, Unrated)
If you have watched some film of Ming-liang you know what you can expect, long shots, almost a silent film, that sensation of discomfort, like the scene where a bunch of men are in the bathroom and, for some strange reason, everyone stay still and don't move or the Japanese man that are, with desperation, searching for a gay lover, that he always can generate in us. This picture is three things at the same time: a tribute to the act of going to the movies, a homage to the cult classic film Dragon Inn and a nostalgic way to show the antique movie theaters, a big room and not the small halls that these days lets more profits to exhibitors. Even in the final part one character says to another that no one came to the movies now and i think that's a sort of critic. I found it really remarkable but the final part, the last ten minutes, was a bit boring to me but all in all an amazing film. |

This movie starts in a very good form, and certainly are chemistry between all the characters, specially Yen and Sun, but at the middle of the film it has a big slump and turns to be a bit boring to take off again at the end. Even with those peace defects is a good film with more than one surprises. |

This is and strange film but enjoyable. One of his strong points is the length, a bit more than an hour, and the simpleness of the matter. At moments reminds me Ghost World and The Ketchup Effect because combines the life in a boring town, this time in Norway, and be ostracizes due to sexual misunderstandings. |
