A timeless cinema classic featuring one of Paul Newman's most iconic roles.
Easily one of my Top 5 movies of this year. Fantastic work from Spain's master director Pedro Almodovar, with an amazing cast led by a superb Antonio Banderas. The Spanish actor really puts a performance, likely - I think - inspired by his director's persona. Also worth mentioning the actor Asier Etxeandia, with an equally memorable role.
A very sweet, tender film. One which most audiences can certainly relate to. It's being highly praised as one of the best of the year... whereas I can see why that is, it failed to strike the sort of impact I was hoping for. Nonetheless, I still definitely recommend anyone to go out and see it.
Another timeless classic featuring top performances from terrific actors. Hard to say which one of the main four I prefer... although, I do feel bit more inclined towards Kevin Kline.
Most likely not the film you would expect... Take that as you will.
Jennifer Lopez - to my astonishment - delivers her best career role by a mile.
As far as Portuguese movies go, this is up there with the best. A clear sign that our cinema is improving every year with talented people in front and behind the camera. To say it will be a potential Oscar contender, is a stretch. There's still a lot to be done to get a movie worthy of that accolade, but we are certainly on the right path. Tiago Guedes does an amazing job at the helm of the camera and Albano Jeronimo steals the show in a movie that contains a few other good performances.
