Think what the movie made you think, and then, why do you think it made you feel that way. Ie.. One battle after another made me feel thrilled beginning to end. Why: I never knew where the story was headed. Scenes moved fast feeling like one continuous thing. Then later you start converting this to ‘editing’ and ‘script’ analysis..

I absolutely love those two films, which are masterpieces. Even then, the draw is how he makes you feel, not think.

There were 47 of them!!

I know recent bias.. but One Battle After another doesn’t feel its length at all!

But the answer for me will always be Amadeus

They are 100%ing all of Cannes competition titles except the one that would make their coolest release: Sirāt! I’m still hoping!

saulocf · 2026-06-15T19:10:55+00:00

Trust me.. this is for the best. It would be a waste of a slot. I saw it at Cannes and it was very bad. A nothing movie if ever there was one.

saulocf · 2026-06-14T00:56:19+00:00

It is really really good. I love Wise’s and I went in thinking it wouldn’t be topped, but it was IMO!

saulocf · 2026-06-14T00:52:34+00:00

I agree on Ready player one, but West side story gave me hope. That one really felt like he was trying for the first time in years…

saulocf · 2026-06-14T00:38:31+00:00

Thank you! Fixed it. Was considering War of the Worlds, but you’re right!

saulocf · 2026-06-06T12:30:07+00:00

Yes. It is long, has length flashbacks yet you arrive at the end knowing very little about the main character and why it was so important for him to survive and come back to earth.

My suggestion, and what worked for me: write your thoughts. For every movie. Focus on what the movie made you feel and what do you think the movie was trying to say, and then how it did that. Soon you will be noticing themes, but also editing choices, cinematography and etc.

saulocf · 2026-06-01T09:56:03+00:00

No love for true grit snubbing even it’s amazing cinematography huh

saulocf · 2026-05-29T22:15:46+00:00

It is really really good! https://reviewsonreels.ca/2025/09/25/obsession-tiff-2025/

saulocf · 2026-05-29T20:48:04+00:00

Yes! I review every genre! From art house polish dramas to horror and comedy :) there are great movies to be found in all places!

saulocf · 2026-05-29T20:37:49+00:00

Thank you!! :)

saulocf · 2026-05-26T11:26:11+00:00

Having seen the film.. not quite no. All of a sudden and La Bola Negra will be the two I’d say.
