12 Kilometers (2016)

It is very rare we see a masterpiece like this one

[10/10 · 24 March 2023]

Perfectly balanced, esthetically beautiful, and magnificently crafted film.

Listen, it's rare I get to experience those moments of wonder, overlayed on that subtle feeling of dread. Something is wrong, and you can not name it, but instead you feel it, and it grips you to the very end. And the ending is truly one of the best in this movie that crosses across genres.

Characters are literally living on the screen, and for once, I truly cared. They were human, and you could see that. Unique setting and the location help wrap this into a stunning package.

The whole time I was literally glued to the screen. Tension is used to drive the plot, the characters are truly motivated, and they do their best, as would any human in this situation.

One od true works of art that makes me want to see more. I'd truly recommend to take some time of your day and check it out, if you're missing that unique feeling after watching a great movie, this is the way to go.

Lowriders (2016)

Great character journey !

[7/10 · 29 August 2017]

"Lowriders (2016)", a textbook example of a good movie ! While not tackling epic themes such as survival of humanity(since it's a drama), the story is told through it's characters as they make mistakes, learn upon them and change. We following their relationship within and outside the family while keeping it like a true lowrider movie, low and easy, totally opposite of F&F movies. Cinematography was really good, with lighting sometimes being really outstanding ! Overall I'd recommend this movie, even though it wasn't upfront like most modern car-culture-inspired movies. I'm giving it 7/10, a totally subjective opinion.
