Hold Up!

🎬 I'm NOT your casual movie reviewer!

I don't do plot overviews or safe, spoiler-free summaries. For that stuff, there's Wikipedia.

What I DO: I share my raw, unfiltered experience and thoughts on movies and TV shows. That means MAJOR SPOILERS could hit you in the very first line of any review.

I talk about films the way you'd chat with a friend who's already seen them. No dancing around plot points. No vague hints. Just honest, spoiler-filled conversation.

You've been warned. Now let's have a real talk about movies! 🍿

Theme Week Wrap-Up

Sundance Midnight Movies 2021

Hello dear visitors! That was it for our third themed week here at Cine It. This category was very interesting and I've already added to our mystery box another paper with the same midnight selection of movies but from another year of the Sundance Festival. I don't know if Krasnaya is going to be very happy about that. 😂
Highlights of the Week Mother Schmuckers & Censor I was happy to find movies like Mother Schmuckers, Censor and Knocking. I only regret having watched Violation.
