According to the imagination, Piece by piece is visually and creatively spectacular. It marries documentary filmmaking - which is very traditional here - with a remarkable LEGO animation style. When I saw that this was a documentary about Pharell Williams, I was initially surprised. Turning the famous producer's life story into a LEGO animated film was ambitious, to say the least. But the director Morgan Neville, the team of animators, and writers - Neville, Oscar Vazquez, Aaron Wickenden and Jason Zeldes - do a phenomenal job of creating something fun with the parts of Williams' life, even if some of…

One of the nice things about watching a film like We live in time is watching life being lived. Director John Crowley and writer Nick Payne paint a heartwarming, often humorous and moving picture of a couple whose love for each other simply exists. Between work and caring for a child, illness, and growing a relationship, this romantic drama is a captivating, tear-jerking experience. It is gentle and warm, like listening to waves on the beach. It lulls us into the comforts of a seemingly endless love, but its decades-spanning and non-chronological narrative reminds us that life can always be…
As for the imagination, In parts visually and creatively impressive. It combines documentary filmmaking (which is very traditional here) and the wonderful LEGO animation style.

Directed and co-written by Bridget Savage Cole and…
Superhero fatigue, as one of the characters in The franchise Says, is not a real illness. And yet, we have all felt the effects of it for a long time. The new series of HBO capitalizes on the fatigue, but it is not to present us with an empty storyline - fueled by the constant production of content - and underwhelming special effects, it is to satirize it. Created by Jon Brown, the series is also a love letter to the crew working on the films. They are overworked, overstressed, and underappreciated, and The franchise Give them their time to…

For a first-time feature director to focus on a story that is inspired by true events is a bold choice, but Nora Fingscheidt is up to the task. Featuring an exceptional performance by Saoirse Ronan and a stunning grasp of interiority and visual poetry, The outrun Is a wonderful feature debut that could have been elevated further by stronger form. Despite its occasional hiccups, the director, who co-wrote the screenplay with Amy Liptrot, the author of the novel on which the film is based, has a clear vision and a good instinct for storytelling.
