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! 🍿

#1 of the Week
Tom at the Farm (2013)
Our Score: 79/100

The only movie of the week that fully worked for me and the one I clearly recommend. Hitchcockian tension from a director who doesn't usually go there , I hope Xavier watches more Hitchcock and brings us more thrillers like this. I'm adding Hitchcock to the movie raffle because of him.
I Killed My Mother Review - Click Here
#2 of the Week
I Killed My Mother (2009)
Our Score: 65/100

I enjoyed this mainly because it reminded me of my own relationship with my mother. A very honest debut that deserves a watch , raw, personal and surprisingly affecting for a first feature.

#3 of the Week
It's Only the End of the World (2016)
Our Score: 55/100

It's OK, there isn't much going on. A fast forgettable movie , you sit through it without suffering but you won't think about it again the next day.

#4 of the Week
Matthias & Maxime (2019)
Our Score: 55/100

Xavier Dolan forgot the straight guys out there and made a movie exclusively for an LGBT audience. I did a light review and felt it wasn't my place to judge it fully. To anyone reading: no offence intended , you have my full support, just go out and be proud.

#5 of the Week
The Death & Life of John F. Donovan (2018)
Our Score: 12/100

Absolutely dreadful. A crap movie , no debate possible. The sarcastic song of the week exists because of this one. I'm also having my revenge on Krasnaya for making me watch this by putting a Steven Seagal week in the raffle. πŸ˜›
Have a great week!
