Beef
(2023)

Supreme cinema
It is an amazing series, like a roller-coaster of the human mind and behavior. Unpredictable, complicated, unique, an enlightening on human darkness. You just stick with it, you see at times your dark nature, you understand how apparently simple choices are important. A mixture of dramma and comedy, cynism and neurotic apotheosis.

Acting is superb. In the beginning I chose to see the series believing it is a series for relaxing and laughing, after 10 minutes I realized that the story was going somewhere else, and that's it! I finished it in 3 days, like a drug. The last episode is the top, is out of the box, is psychedelic. A masterpiece!

C'è ancora domani
(2023)

Great cinema!
This is a masterpiece, a surprise because unexpected. Brilliant story based on true events, but full of symbolisms and deeper meanings that are all connected on the final scenes of the movie. Great directing and acting by Cortelesi, but also great choice of the characters and performancefrom the other actors. The women's universe in Italy back then was complicated and the road to the recognition of their rights was full of obstacles, with many dramatic stories happening. The movie manages also to be ironic and there are moments you laugh. Then suddenly it becomes dramatic again and you want to cry. Then you bacome angry. All these fluctuations are captivating, meanwhile represent the reason why Paola manages to give a powerful message through the art of cinema.

Patriot
(2015)

Masterpiece of directing, story and acting
Great series. It's a masterpiece, a game changing direction. It goes further down the surface of a spying storytelling, it is full of symbolisms, deeper interpersonal relationships, brutal interior conflicts, cynism, humor, drama. The characters are teaching how much life can be complicated and unpredictable. Great acting also. A must see.

Another Life
(2019)

I resisted for 20 minutes
Not good at all. I saw the first 20 minutes, I saw some models trying to act and I understood that was some crap. Then I decided to read the reviews on Imdb and I felt good: I decided not to waste my time any more. Really bad.

The Current War
(2017)

Inaccurate story, not linear facts
The movie is actually slow, with a sad music, giving inacurate profiles about the personalities of Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla. Tesla should be the real hero of the movie, as it happened in reality. The other characters where: Edison, yes a quite original mind but not a genious, being a slave to his need for fame. Westinghouse, JP Morgan : businessman. Tesla: the one that changed the world and died broke in an appartment.

Dark
(2017)

A masterpiece, a mystery drama about human nature
Yes, it is one of the best series and films I ever saw. A complex storyline that is unique even if it deals with well known subjects as time travel. Unique because it deals with the profound conflicts of human nature and mind, with paradoxes and symbolisms. There is a reason it is called "Dark". There is a reason why the main character is called "Adam" and another character "white devil". There are scientific, philosophical and religious references all mixed together in order to underline the profound questions that bother humans and our desperate need to understand, to evolve and to finally win over time, death and suffering. Actors, director and picture are superb. It is a story that changes the way you see things.

Bad Blood
(2017)

One of the best series
Rough, cruel, dramatic, true. Incredibly intense story. Great acting, great director.
