An interesting genre representative. It’s a good idea, suspenseful until the last shot. Beyond that, I appreciated Kirsten Dunst playing up the maternal roles, and I'm always happy to see Michael Shannon too. However, this is not my favorite genre and I don't feel like I want to pursue it more.

Of the Shakespeare films of the 1990s, I remember Zeffirelli's Hamlet and Hoffman's A Midsummer Night's Dream most, though that decade was more dominated by Branagh and Taymor (and Luhrmann, of course). This Twelfth Night: Or What You Will is seemingly much less ambitious, giving opportunities mainly to the romantically melancholic Helena Bonham Carter and the charming Imogen Stubbs, with Ben Kingsley and Toby Stephens being more of a safe bet.

I'll admit that if it weren't for Kirsten Dunst in a supporting role, I would have definitely missed out on Hidden Figures. But Kirsten has good taste, and her name and character are well portrayed, if only in just a few images, which certainly "adorns" this sure bet. Finally, her secondary storyline and that of Jim Parsons represent the most pressing thing the main characters had to contend with. Or racial segregation, NASA, and the American response to Gagarin. It’s worth a recommendation.

This crime drama is cast as an all-star film, but the typology is somehow lacking. That’s too bad, because Julia, Nicole, and Alfred Molina are all very good actors. But this genre is not their ideal environment. Well, never mind, it'll be better next time.

Even Slovakia has its own fairy tale about an actor with an international career in the 1960s who was denied everything during normalization. I don't want to diminish the qualities of Ivan Palúch, but if he is, according to a film historian, the most brilliant of all, it is a somewhat shaky balance. Should a few successful acting moments represent the best Slovakia has given to world cinema? Come on. The 13th Chamber is a powerful human story. Unfortunately, Palúch’s professional career only falls into the popular "could have been wonderful if" category, and there have been many of those. Alas.

It took me a long time to come to terms with this view of Elizabethan theater, but so be it. The ethereal Gwyneth Paltrow is really lovely here, and one really does at least get some idea that there were other theaters than the Globe and other playwrights than Wilda. And maybe I'll finally get around to reading "Twelfth Night, or What You Will."

A fairy-tale fantasy that fits into the popular 1980s. Unfortunately, I missed out on this one as a kid, so today I can only appreciate the fact that Buttercup has so far become the general on the island of the Amazons in Wonder Woman.

In this episode, Pešek tells a story about himself. Otherwise, it is once again classic chaos of impressions/concepts and memories/forgetfulness. If actresses are often judged by whether they were pretty, actors are often judged by whether they were heroes. And this is really getting tiresome.

After seeing this movie, I find that in retrospect, I could happily include Nancy Drew among my favorite girl protagonists. Nancy Drew is a nice concept of a schoolgirl who is pleasant, slightly old-world, and likes to solve mysteries of all kinds in her spare time. It's a shame that the sequel under Fleming didn't happen. He made some very good teen movies before the year 2000, and Emma Roberts is a fine teenager who wasn't playing any bimbos at the time of Drew. I, therefore, consider this new Nancy Drew a pleasant experience.

The UK's 20th-century politics are so popular that they have demanded countless on-the-fly references in media of all kinds. Of the mass I attended, I can perhaps recommend "The Audience," performed at the National Theater, which also includes the story of Thatcher. However, I understand that Meryl fans will find something to like here.
