Movie Review: Wicked – A Magical Journey to Oz
Wicked dazzles with breathtaking visuals, unforgettable music, and stunning performances. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo make a captivating duo, perfectly embodying Glinda and Elphaba. The film transports audiences to the magical world of Oz, delivering both charm and emotional depth. A magical experience worth experiencing.
MAXXXINE
"MaXXXine," the final installment in Ti West's trilogy, delivers an engaging yet flawed exploration of fame's dark side in 1980s Hollywood. Mia Goth's standout performance brings intensity to a story steeped in ambition and moral compromise. While the film's suspense is gripping, its overt violence and predictable conclusion prevent it from fully realizing its potential as a psychological thriller.
Recensione: “Home Education - Le regole del male”
Home Education - Le regole del male" di Andrea Niada ci conduce in un avvincente viaggio nel cuore di un bosco isolato, esplorando temi di fede e legami familiari. Rachel, adolescente cresciuta in una setta isolata, lotta con l'equilibrio della sua esistenza quando il suo mondo viene sconvolto da un'inattesa visita. Il film, sebbene mostri potenziale nella regia e nelle interpretazioni, presenta difetti di ritmo e prolungamento, forse dovuti alle origini come cortometraggio. La scelta sonora, con suoni inquietanti dall'strumento del padre di Rachel, contribuisce all'atmosfera, ma l'appeal potrebbe essere limitato a fan dei thriller psicologici. Personalmente, credo che la trama avrebbe potuto brillare di più nella sua versione corta.
