A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is a dramatic romance with the face of its director, Kogonada. In the end, it is not just the history of two people that is paixonando, but also a reflection on how past life influences relationships in the present. In history, two strangers (Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie) meet in a marriage and face each other. However, a mysterious GPS (voiced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge) begins to guide you through a journey of self-discovery and new understandings of each person's past. With touches of psychodrama, a psychological technique in which people relive traumas and experiences, or long-form films know how to excite or talk about thorny issues, such as belonging and a way to overcome traumatic experiences. A shame that there is a little bit of creative momentum with exaggerated repetitions and characters that delay leaving their place. Still, he knows how to excite and must conquer the genres of truly romantic films.
Faced with the unenviable challenge of trying to produce a work of wit and heart within the confines of a corporate intellectual property as large as Mattel's Barbie doll, director and co-writer Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) generally comes out on top. Drawing on inspirations as diverse as The Wizard of Oz and The Truman Show, the iconic doll's cinematic debut is a fun comedy that follows a Barbie (Margot Robbie) who must travel to the real world to discover what is making her imperfect in utopian Barbieland. However, she soon discovers that the invention of the Barbie dolls has not been the feminist panacea they themselves imagined, and that the real world is quite the opposite of what they live in their utopian world. Funny, clever and with incisive comments about patriarchy, it is an entertaining popcorn proposal that almost (ALMOST!) makes us forget that it is a huge commercial for Mattel.
After winning the Oscar for Best Direction for the delightful and romantic 'La La Land', filmmaker Damien Chazelle returns to what he knows and loves to do: emotional stories involving the world of art. After talking twice about music (also in 'Whiplash', his first feature film), now he focuses his camera on Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s. At that time, the cradle of Western cinema was undergoing intense transformation, from silent films to talking films. From this, with the story of the characters Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie) and Manny Torres (Diego Calva), we understand more about the challenges of this universe, with scenes ranging from scatology to drama, from comedy to nonsense. It is a journey through genres that, deep down, also pays clear and sensitive homage to cinema - with references to classics such as 'Singing in the Rain' and 'Sunset Boulevard', for example. All this with great performances, especially from Robbie ('Birds of Prey') and Calva ('Narcos: Mexico'). There are those who don't like the movie, calling it exaggerated, off-tone and so on. But believe me: this Dante-esque production by Chazelle can win you over.
Margot Robbie gave one of the best performances of her career, if not the best yet. You can feel all of the character's emotions through Robbie's portrayal, and the same goes for Allison Janney who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. It's a very well-made movie based on true events in a mockumentary style. 'I, Tonya' is one of the few productions that doesn't turn Tonya Harding into a monster and seeks to show her side of the 1990 Olympic scandal.
