Quick Takes
Short takes on music, films, TV, anime, books, manga, audiobooks, and podcasts — the one-line reactions people leave when they scrobble, published to the Hive blockchain so each one is owned by its author. 1,506 takes and counting.
- My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It ToMy Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To is much more than a horror story, it's a story that if you take away its lurid scenes, it will make you reflect on loneliness and the sacrifice we are willing to make for our loved ones. It is about family ties and how they are deteriorating because of a disease, where not only the carrier is the one who suffers, the people around him will also live their own hell.
- GaiaGaia is an excellent choice, a story that has similarities with other recent films, where nature is the supernatural force that seeks to balance the ecosystem. The victims: human beings, some possessed by their own madness. But focusing it only on a handful of characters and in a certain area, a mysterious and dangerous forest.
- Bleed with MeBleed with Me is a psychological horror film that I highly recommend. Of course, you already know the kind of productions that fascinate me. Para is a film that fulfilled the goal of absorbing me in its story, with really disturbing moments, without the need to show too much and using a rather slow pace.
- BabylonBabylon is a love story, not only of an impossible love that will end tragically, it is a love story of cinema. Chazelle makes a mammoth homage to the seventh art, and to do so he needed to throw the most extravagant and excessive party possible with a soundtrack that is ringing in my ears because I am listening to it as I write this post. I loved every minute of the film and I identified with that final smile in the middle of the tears.
- Lady Chatterley's LoverLady Chatterley's Lover is a good adaptation of the novel, the cast is solid, the two leads have chemistry and their torrid scenes are very well shot. It left me with very good impressions and I enjoyed it from the beginning. Emma Corrin proves to possess great acting talent, she has a bright future.
- ¡Que viva México!Human beings do not like their reflection in the mirror to be ugly. That's why they lie to themselves with their own photos on social networks, with filters and beautifying effects. The same happens when movies show something of reality, that which we don't like about ourselves. Maybe that's why it has caused so much scorn.
- Virginie Efira. Sublime. In recent years this actress has gained more prestige and has made a place for herself among the actresses of the moment in France. I still remember her with her performance in the film Benendetta, which I also reviewed at the time and only a professional like her could take such a risk.
- More than the story of a kidnapping, it is the chronicle of a tragedy. Of how a vile crime affects an entire family, of what happens the day after, of the society of accomplices, of the impunity that remains to this day after so many victims. The economic, moral and emotional destruction that originates when the State, whose mission is to protect citizens, looks after its own interests and protects the guilty.
