For 20 years, I have fondly remembered the older TV movie Lucy (2003), I adore the original series I Love Lucy, and of course, Kidman. Therefore, my expectations were high, and so is my disappointment. But Aaron Sorkin, though he has been working on the film for a long time and was even there when Kidman tried to find…

A clever, well thought out script with a message about the fear of changes in life. Great pacing, top-notch acting – the dialogue! – Glen Powell disappears into the role. The story builds beautifully and there is no action at all. A lovely romantic film, with which Richard Linklater fulfills the dream of a lot of…

I can understand all the objections from die-hard fans of Yellowstone and 1883. Yes, it's a little more difficult with 1923, because it's moodily disjointed, emotionally sprawling, with several story lines developing to too much breadth, and the ending of the first season is actually far from what one expects after…

This new French comedy didn't quite sit right with me. I guess I'm fed up with Francophone social realism, no matter the genre. Once it's about finding a solution to a pre-lost battle in Two Days, One Night, then it's about testing whether it's a divine matter in The Brand New Testament, but the point is, they're all…

The genre classification here raises expectations of a slightly different experience, but the resulting film is neither much action nor much comedy, so beware. That said, I was pleasantly surprised. An original idea, a nicely thought out script, hugely charismatic characters (Glen Powell has been on a really nice run)…

I, Legend may be another in a series of films about a global pandemic that has wiped out almost all life on Earth, but it does bring something new to the table. The view of a post-apocalyptic decayed New York, where it is not uncommon to encounter wildlife (not only) in the streets, is really realistic and well…

A futuristic tale wrapped in the fine veil of a Disney classic about a robot/puppet who wants to become a normal boy, directed by one of my favourite and most respected directors of all time... well, that's a big attraction, and not just for me. The story is brilliantly composed, and even though at times I felt it was…

It's hard to believe, but the series keeps getting worse. This time, the Polish creators attempted something like a Bond movie, and from my perspective, it didn't go well at all. An old and horny bad guy in a luxurious high-tech mansion/brothel on Lomnický štít? That's a first for me. Add in a washed-up but…

A delightfully bad, or rather very plastic, unbelievable, hysterical, and incredibly stupid showcase of the desperation of regular television productions from the late 1970s. But precisely because I fixate on the television form I subconsciously grew up with, I enjoy this film to the fullest. The stone-faced František…

A small Czech TV detective story without life, directed by the routine filmmaker František Filip, that only woke me up from my trance during the final gag at the hair salon, when Karel Černoch started singing along to the musical hit. It would have been a bit more interesting to pair the lovely Hana Maciuchová with…
