#Plainclothes when a young police officer is attracted to a man who practices cruising. Although the "outing" theme might seem clichéd, we follow the protagonist's agonizing relationship with those closest to him. Guilt, identity, and loneliness. A revelation.

#Plainclothes cuando un joven policía se siente atraído por un hombre que practica el cruising. A pesar que el “outing” pueda parecer una premisa manida acompañamos la angustiante relación del protagonista con su entorno más directo. Culpa, identidad y soledad. Un descubrimiento.

#Sputnik an astronaut returns from his mission with a "guest". Full of "calm" tension, the film is unsettling because of what is implied. The atmosphere of the "repressive" USSR helps to understand the motivations of the characters (both human and non-human). A discovery.

#Sputnik un astronauta al volver de su misión trae consigo un "invitado". Cargada de tensión "calma", la película inquieta por lo que se intuye. La atmósfera de la URSS "represora" ayuda a entender las motivaciones de los personajes (humanos y no humanos). Un hallazgo.

#TheHousemaid is the story of a "bad girl" who gets a temporary job as a housemaid for an eccentric couple. Camp, overacted, is a “guilty pleasure” artifact, unexpectedly comical and with feminist echoes. Seyfried, Sweeney, and Sklenar give it their all.

#LaAsistenta es la historia de una chica “chunga” que se mete como interina en la casa de un matrimonio peculiar. Camp, sobreactuada, es un artefacto “guilty pleasure”, inesperadamente cómica y con ecos feministas. Seyfried, Sweeney y Sklenar lo dan todo.

#DieMyLove A couple moves into an inherited house in the countryside. In this work, Lawrence expresses herself artistically as he did in the film Mother! She takes on the challenge of portraying nameless behaviour and an unnamed baby. Atrocious motherhood!

#DieMyLove una pareja se muda a una casa heredada en el campo. Un trabajo donde Lawrence se articula artísticamente como ya hizo en Mother. El reto de exponer una conducta sin nombre y un bebé sin bautizar. ¡Atroz maternidad!

#TheRunningMan2025 a man sacrifices his life for the sake of a TVshow. The story, prophetic in its time, feels like something from the past. It is effective and dynamic, with a final twist both mischievous and excessive, drawing attention to the media's power to spread lies.

#TheRunningMan2025 trata sobre un hombre que debe prestar su vida en pro de un show televisivo. La historia, profética en su tiempo, sabe a días del pasado. Efectiva, dinámica con una deriva final gamberra y sobrepasada ponen de actualidad el poder mediático de la mentira.

#SentimentalValue 1 actriz no desea actuar en el film sobre la vida de la madre de su padre. Todas las capas simbólicas están perfectamente sincronizadas hacia la imposibilidad de comunicarnos sólo mediante el tiempo que pasamos juntos. Reinsve y Skarsgard, destinadxs a los Oscars.

#SentimentalValue An actress doesn´t wish to act in the film about her father's mother's life. Each symbolic layer is perfectly synchronised towards the impossibility of communicating with each other through the time we spend together. Reinsve and Skarsgård, headed for the Oscars.

#AfterTheHunt historia de 1 mujer privilegiada que acusa a su profesor de agresión sexual. Diálogos grandilocuentes, contexto universitario inaccesible y personajes pedantes. Tomar la excepción (denuncia falsa) para refutar la violencia estructural (patriarcado) Roberts, olímpica.

#AfterTheHunt tells the story of a privileged woman who accuses her professor of sexual assault. Grandiloquent dialogues, an inaccessible university context, and pedantic characters. Taking the exception (false accusation) to refute structural violence (patriarchy) Roberts, Olympian.

#TheHandThatRocksTheCradle 2025 is the story of a babysitter who isn't what she seems. An unexpected remake that comes closer to the original, showing a more egalitarian (perverse) relationship between the two women. Maika Monroe is an expert in dysfunctional characters.

#LaManoQueMeceLaCuna 2025 es la historia de una babysitter que no es lo que parece. Un remake inesperado que se aproxima a su original mostrando una relación (perversa) más igualitaria entre las 2 mujeres. Maika Monroe es experta en personajes disfuncionales.

#TheBeastinMe A writer in crisis meets a millionaire egomaniac in search of an uncomfortable truth. Danes and Rhys play cat and mouse game with moments of perfect complicity. It goes down and is absorbed like good entertainment. When grief prevents you from dealing with the present.

#TheBeastinMe una escritora en crisis conoce a un ególatra millonario en búsqueda de una verdad incómoda. Danes y Rhys juegan al gato y el ratón con momentos de complicidad perfecta. Se digiere y asimila como un buen entretenimiento. Cuando el duelo no permite abordar el presente.

#Frankenstein historia de un “mad doctor” empeñado en superar a la muerte. Hay cambios en la película que transgreden el libro y con ello la forma actual de no entender la verdadera humanidad (que es amor y muerte como su inevitable). No aporta grandes novedades al film del 1994.

#Frankenstein story of a “mad doctor” determined to overcome death. There are changes in the film that deviate from the book and thus from the current way of understanding true humanity (love and death as its inevitable consequences). It does not add much new to the 1994 film.

#TheGirlfriend is the story of ‘you my friend, you are lower-class people ’. What begins as a tale of ‘poor girl seeks rich man to marry’ becomes ‘anyone will do anything to maintain their status’. When money ‘disguises itself’ as happiness.
October 5, 2025 at 12:32 PM
#TheGirlfriend es la historia de "date cuenta amiga que eres clase baja". Lo que comienza como un relato de "pobre busca rico para casarse" se convierte en "cualquier persona hará lo que sea para mantener su estatus". Cuando el dinero se "trasviste" en felicidad.

#MonsterTheEdGeinStory is not the story of Ed Gein but rather the meta-iconography that was created from the events attributed to Gein. An intelligent script in which Gein sheds his monster-persona to end up being the sick one. The spectacle of ‘otherness’: we are always the monsters.
October 5, 2025 at 11:40 AM
#MonsterTheEdGeinStory no es la historia de Ed Gein sino la meta iconografía que se creó a partir de los hechos atribuidos de Gein. Un guion inteligente en la que Gein se desprende del monstruo para acabar siendo el enfermo. El espectáculo de la "otredad", nosotros -siempre- somos los monstruos.

#AlienEarth Hitchcock created the MacGuffin element (an element of suspense that drives the characters forward in the plot, but may or may not be relevant to the plot), and that is precisely what the xenomorph seems to be in this otherwise interesting series. Let's wait for S2.
