Dune: Part Two 2024
I feel like we are witnessing cinematic history unfold before our very own eyes and this will be in history as one of the best science fiction stories ever told.
This film shook me to my core and there's so much to talk about, and I have so many thoughts running through my head that I don't think I can put all into written without watching it for the second time. In spite of that, I wanted to write something,…

Petite Maman 2021
"I didn't say goodbye to her."
That harrowing feeling of cleaning up the house of someone you know is not going to step their feet back in those rooms. Their hands will not touch the doorknob. You won't hear the squeal of the chair ever again.

Each silence speaks for itself, and the exchange of stares couldn't speak louder even if they tried.
What a hypnotizing work of art, thoroughly directed. Camera work that put me into a deep trance that culminates into that final scene and floods me with tears.…

Challengers 2024
Hours later, I am still baffled with what I've seen. I think this might be one of those movies that makes someone fall in love for the art itself. My eyes were locked on the screen since the beginning. The intensity in which each ball is hit, each muscle moves and each sweat drop falls into the ground.
By the end, the release of tension is so big that my own muscles start to fail. Did I just watch a…

Amelia’s Children 2023
It's fascinating to see a Portuguese take on the horror genre, it utilises our family connections and traumas to produce an exploitative horror film that really hammers down on those traumatic experiences.
The film manages to balance out the anxiety of some scenes with the comedic aspects of some situations that I feel are really more funny if you are Portuguese or are involved in the Portuguese culture.
Amelia's Children (A Semente do Mal in PT) tackles family themes, how…
