Better Call Saul
(2015)

Goodbye to a perfect universe!
When I watched Breaking bad, I thought there won't be anything better... but Better call Saul appears, with a writer called Peter Gould and a Vince Gilligan more genius. Total admiration for Vince who was able to create/develop a dramatic life story for the characters that we loved in BB, and to give the perfect ending to 14 years of history to the best TV show universe ever created. Best acting, best screenplay and best cinematography ever done for the TV.

Boyhood
(2014)

"Time is a valuable thing"
The amazing thing with this film is that we see the time passed in front of our eyes. The childhood and teenage of a person in two hours and a half. TWO HOURS and a half. That's how relative the time is. We witness the most important events in Mason's life and at the same time, we question the same things he does about the existence, the future, the relationships, "the point of all this".

The Florida Project
(2017)

Beautiful film
An authentic, beautiful and moving film about the Florida that we don't know and isn't usually mentioned. Amazing cinematography and overwhelming actings, with a little girl who makes me cry at the end.

The Big Lebowski
(1998)

Acting, screenplay and direction: comedy gold
This movie is comedy gold. Watching it for the third time was the best therapy I needed. Also, this was the only way to take into account those little details on the screenplay that make me realize that this is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Blue Valentine
(2010)

Totally worth it
The most powerful and beautiful (anti)love story that I've ever watched!

In Time
(2011)

Not so bad
An idilic Robin Hood story. I like the metaphors about the time and its value, though.

El olvido que seremos
(2020)

Emotiva - Moving
Cuando has leído el libro y conoces la historia, la película te conmueve aún más. Lloré de principio a fin con todo lo que Héctor Abad Gómez representaba para su familia y para la gente, y lloré recordando las injusticias de la vida y de la muerte.

When you have read the book and you know the story, the film touches you the double. I cried from the beginning to the end with everything Hector Abad represented for all his family and for the people.

La Môme
(2007)

Best performance in a biopic!
It's outstanding the work of Marion Cotillard in this movie. She's played Edith Piaf in different stages of her life and she had the power to transmit the charisma, the sadness, the joy, the melancholy, the energy, and the passion of a singer that I didn't know, but that I feel like I was close to her. Hats off.

La Jauría
(2019)

Not too bad
I liked this series because it has a lot to tell and show about some realities that some people are not capable of accept yet or don't want to realize (the physical and sexual abuse against women by men in a higher position, the psychological vulnerability of the victims, the impunity of the most powerful persons, etc). However, I think that some stories and some characters that I thought it would be more important for the plot, were not fully developed, maybe because of the lack of money or time or I don't know. Give it a chance!

Scent of a Woman
(1992)

What a beautiful movie!
And what a beautiful story! I think it's the best acting of Al Pacino, even if I know that his performance in The Godfather and Scarface is outstanding, in this movie, you are able to feel all those emotions his character pass through his life as a blind man.

Breaking Bad
(2008)

Best tv show ever!
I regret not having seen this tv show before. This is one of the greatest master pieces ever created: the screenplay, the acting, the evolution of each character, the cinematography and the finale... everything is just perfectly constructed. I completely loved it. Bravo!
