3.0/5.0

more of a film about the people living in HAVANA, it is an extended advertisement for potential visitors who might feel attracted to this very fascinating city.

sights and sounds are truly stunning but the movie might try to go too far or show too much instead of trusting what could have been their initial instincts.

even when it is more entertaining and much better paced than most films today this film shows too many ideas that might be great but do not work within it.

3.0/5.0

this film gets much better as it goes on but even when some things are not as great as the movie it follows the last act of the movie is a force to be reckoned with.

3.5/5.0

certainly this film is its own worst enemy using a trick that just complicates the filmmaking, however GYLLENHALL and PEÑA truly amaze with their on-screen chemistry and the story behind is a not-so-subtle snapshot of modern affairs in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

what could have been an ok anecdote slowly becomes the saddest of portraits of dealing with old age.

it is surely a sweet movie that might drag a little here and there but ultimately it is undeniable how sincere it is.

while the movie does a very good job of portraying the weird tone of this book, just like it i found it honest and somehow shallow.

favorite scene: SAL PARADISE finally getting to write his novel.

3.5/5.0

what appears to be the story of a young woman from SERBIA is a great study of contemporary youth; this film is raw and rough.

favorite scene: the very last shot wraps the whole movie with a bang.

3.5/5.0

entrancing, exciting, confusing, convulting, this film does follow a trend of perfectly crafted DANNY BOYLE movies however we are nor used to a whole new level of turning and twisting.

3.5/5.0

a comical, critical snapshot of american culture that hides without subtlety a fable that shows the perks and the risks of the powerful american dream.

closer to what this director used to do but this film fails to be a better audiovisual experience than some good separate scenes of dialogue and monologues.

without a doubt it is very entertaining but what else should we expect from an outstandingly made industrial product?

4.0/5.0

mystified by the images and sounds, mortified by the apparent complexity of the story lines this play’s sense of humor is a perfect fit for JOSS WHEDON’s style.

favorite scene: BEATRICE and BENEDICK snooping on conversations about each other.

3.0/5.0

it is more like THIS IS LIFE and the hard, harsh and horrifyingly bittersweet pill to swallow that some times life is; while the movie spends its run crossing things off a list that has as many appreciated cameos as not as much sitcom clichés it is still a great raw experience that will be as hated as it will be loved because of its honesty and sincerity.
