Top Gun: Maverick (2022)

Nice action sequences. The rest is just promilitary american movie cliches.

[5/10 · 2 June 2022]

I have to give credit where credit is due. The flighting scenes were good and thrilling, is confident and delivers; those aren't groundbreaking, but still they get you to be on the edge of your seat.

However the rest of the film is just your typical 80's 90's american film. If that's your thing, go have a blast with the nostalgia. But for me, I have to say that is not my cup of tea, many of the characters are annoying and their motivations are confusing. The development of them is lackluster and full of cliches.

The Well (2013)

A playful girl surrounded by egocentric adults

[8/10 · 27 June 2021]

I watch this film a long time ago and it still hits me hard the depiction of the little girl being totally alone in the middle of a situation she doesn't really understand. The little things that keep her up are brutally taken away from her by the harsh reality of accepting her egocentric stepfather and her new lifestyle, where only her imagination of what is under the well behind the house keep her child spirit alive.

Great actuation from all tbe actors, specially the little girl whose actuation is a great representation of the actual psychological effects of a divorced parents and facing changes in her life.

The film is quite slow, but it adds to the sensation of loneliness and bordome the protagonist is facing.
