Philomena

It was so easy to see that this movie would transmit a feeling of pity! It had everything for it to happen. A really young woman who becomes pregnant in Ireland during the fifties, a family that despises her because of this, a Catholic convent who submit her to a brutal regime of work in exchange for "supporting" her and her child, an adoption that occurred without her approval and fifty years after the events, a regret that has lasted a lifetime.

American Hustle

It is not easy being another person. It involves considerable effort, just as those minutes spent at the beginning of American Hustle by Irving Rosenthal, trying to hide his bald head in order to be able to go out with enough confidence. But that's why it is good to pretend to be someone else: we can hide our flaws.

Dallas Buyers Club

Two fixed Oscar winners. If I would like you to watch Dallas Buyers Club my first argument would be: watch it for the magnificent and exciting interpretations of Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey in characters that most certainly will give them the coveted prize within a month. 

The Counselor

The feast seemed served. A spectacular cast, a very talented writer adapting his own novel to the screen, a director that has an extensive trajectory. I went at the theater with faith and even though after the first half hour nothing happened I thought the story might take us somewhere, but not... an hour later we were still moving in circles between characters we had seen in other stories and pseudo-philosophical dialogues inviting us to fall sleep.

Young & Beautiful (Jeune et Jolie)

François Ozon (Director) has made a wide variety of films as different as psychological thrillers , musicals, marital conflict , disease , society , youth , maturity , comedies , dramas and mystery. It seems that the challenge for him is to do something different than before, while keeping his style and further developing his characters.

Two Mothers (Adore)

Anne Fontaine's film "Adore", based on a short story by Doris Lessing, tells of the relationship between two mature women and two young men (each other's sons), an issue that in some societies still, just as it used to be, is a taboo. This topic has been treated extensively by films with different approaches.
