Promising Young Woman (2020)
nice guys above any suspicion
This was the best movie I saw in the last months, and I see a lot of good stuff. The screenwriting is creative and original, the acting is just perfect, the whole movie is such a pleasure to watch, you don´t want it to end.It´s a necessary movie where there are no bad guys, but inherited behaviors that are socially accepted. See it more than once if you can and pay attention to details, the structural sexism is all there and should make us reflect.
Nuestros amantes (2016)
I will avoid Spanish movies after this one
Based on other reviews I thought this was a romantic comedy with a fresh approach. Well, it's not. It intends to be an intelligent, original movie (expectation was a kind of Woody Allen comedy), but turns out to be an unfunny, really boring movie about a predictable romantic relationship. The screenplay is bad, most dialogues are bad, the acting is not good either. The humor consists of a few bad jokes (some involving farts and vomit, that are definitely not my kind of humor, other involving pancreas cancer - anyone who has had a friend or relative with this disease will agree that there is nothing funny about it). I love comedies but I could not laugh not even once. So unless you want to spend one hour and a half watching a stupid, boring "romcom", skip this one.
This Is Where I Leave You (2014)
worst movie in a long time
This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time (OK, I am a bit selective), and it took me less than five minutes to realize that. The acting was so bad that it was embarrassing (Tina Fey is a great comedian, but she was so bad in this movie! What a pity). All humor attempts failed completely and it was a real sacrifice to watch the movie until the end. The serious scenes were a little better than the 'funny' ones, but that wasn't enough. Poor dialogues, poor acting, a waste of time.
I trusted the positive reviews and now I am regretting having watched such a bad movie. That's why I am writing, to prevent other people from wasting their time and money. Go see other movie, anything else will be better than this one.
