LIVE A LITTLE
In her directing debut, Fanny Ovesen was inspired by personal experiences and frequently finds the right tone in her portrait of young people discovering the world. The two leads are very good as friends who differ from each other, but remain loyal.

RIMATE
A movie that will do for chimpanzees what JAWS did for sharks. Ben may be a little too creepy right from the start, preventing us from building any kind of emotional attachment to him, but this is a tight little horror thriller in the spirit of CUJO (1983).

ABIGAIL (2024)
A good build-up becomes more standard near the end, but the film moves fast and has its share of thrills, with a decent cast, including #DanStevens as a cocky ex-cop and Kevin Durand as a not-too-bright muscle guy from Quebec.

I love how #EdONeill immediately goes for a second attempt only to realize that #TyBurrell is nowhere near ready. #ModernFamily

SÁTÁNTÁNGÓ (1994)
This seven-hour (!) epic at times comes across as a parody of art-house cinema, with its achingly long takes and rainy cinematography. A few striking moments, but needed a more convincing lead actor as the dangerously charismatic Irimiás. #BélaTarr

THE RIP
A solid action-thriller that builds its premise expertly, putting Miami detectives in an eerily quiet cul-de-sac where they have to figure out what they’re up against. The writing is unsurprising, but there’s explosive action near the end. #MattDamon #BenAffleck #Netflix

THE HOUSEMAID
A thriller that fits #PaulFeig’s glossy, sly style quite well. Just like the bestseller, it’s an enjoyable ride, with the right amount of sex and danger. Effective cast, especially #AmandaSeyfried. #SydneySweeney

FOUL PLAY (1978)
Never mind the thin story and its MacGuffin, there’s plenty of laughs and a charming duo in the shape of #GoldieHawn and #ChevyChase – and a now classic scene involving #DudleyMoore as a randy conductor with an elaborate sex dungeon.

SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS (1941)
As Hollywood satire the movie has a lot to offer, aided by sharp dialogue. #VeronicaLake stands out as the disillusioned young talent who joins #JoelMcCrea on a social experiment. #PrestonSturges

KANSAS CITY (1996)
Engaging, because of the live music that’s frequently being performed between scenes by a band of 1990s jazz stars acting as giants of that day. Empty, because the story doesn’t move much. #HarryBelafonte is good, though. #RobertAltman

8-BIT CHRISTMAS (2021)
A film that seems to want to become its generation’s answer to A CHRISTMAS STORY (1983), sharing a similarly warm and sweet sense of humor and nostalgia. A lovely Chicago tale that may lack outstanding ingredients, but it does have an engaging cast of kids.

#ParkChanwook’s ambition was to make the masterpiece of his career, and fans of his will surely feel right at home. An absurdly amusing, dark and handsomely filmed romp; expect a lot of clumsiness, a few surprises and a severely tested marriage.
