Cinema and Popcorn

Genre: Drama; Sci-fi; Action Director: Steven Spielberg Writer: David Koepp Starring: Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo While I don't have that much knowledge about the Disclosure Archives and UFO theories and proof, cinematically speaking I thought Spielberg's latest is a copy paste of ideas from other movies like Arrival , E.T. and X-Men ... and they all make an alien version of the Our Lady of Fátima. Still... there are a big couple of aspects to praise and that make this movie watchable, with Emily Blunt being the greatest of them. The movie starts as a mystery thriller as two different narratives are told and you just wonder when will they intersect and in which terms: a cybersecurity expert that steals some confidential material and a weather girl who start experiencing strange things during her day.

Now that the Fall film festival has passed, it's time to make some changes in the Oscar predictions charts: La bola negra is on a winning strike taking home the TIFF's People Choice Award; The movies I Play Rocky and Elsinore revealed themselves as huge crowd-pleasers and can be extremely viable Best Picture candidates; Neon's has found its big Oscar player (Luca Guadagnino's Artificial ) and Paper Tiger got more enthusiastic word from New York and London; the unexpected A24's documentary You Can See Everything is (currently) the most well-reviewed movie of the year and it's on track to become a truly unexpected box-office hit; Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love entered Best International Film race and it can have nice shots in screenplay and directing (according to reviews), suprassing the buzz of early favorites All of a Sudden and Fjord ; Digger is a bomb and not a promising Oscar vehicle; Sense and Sensibility is doing well with critics and it is project...

Stellar cinematography and inspired set pieces with some pretty smart and fluid transitions make Mother Mary impressive to look at at times, but feels like a sterile piece of filmmaking full of empty dialogue and music sequences I wish they were longer. Yes, it's the best Anne Hathaway performance since Rachel Getting Married and seeing her taking on a darker character sure is enough reason to watch it, but this film transported me to a cinematic void that didn't ignite a single emotion from me.
