Beautiful BoyVon Felix Van Groeningen, USA in 2018; 112 min. the
Drama

The 18-year-old Nic (Timothée Chalamet, “Call me by your name”) is dependent on Meth. Including only he, but the whole family suffers. In particular, the father (Steve Carell) is almost based on the fact that he can’t help.

The Film shows Non-Nics get Rid of the drugs so often that the crashes can get a little monotonous. This goes under the skin, especially Chalamet as well as Carell are in desperation believable. Formally, however, Director Van Groeningen uses, unfortunately, often to the visual two – handed with a high-gloss images and the excessive use of Music. (aka)

Creed IIVon Steven Caple Jr., USA 2019; 130 min. the
Drama

Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) won for the first time the title of world champion in Boxing, girlfriend Bianca (Tessa Thompson) accepts his proposal of marriage, and a Baby on the way. But then Creed by Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu) is challenged. His father Ivan (Dolph Lundgren) was killed in “Rocky IV,” the dad of the Creed in the Ring.

The Film by Steven Caple Jr. no longer has the same renewal Furioso as Ryan Cooglers “Creed” (2015). The main stream work like that, however, by his calm and precision. It’s about revenge, regret and guilt – and to fathers of different ages and levels of Maturity. This is a continuation, reinvention and homage in one. (zas)

Bill Morrison hits of this sensational find from the wide arches: to the beginnings of the American entertainment industry, to the economic and social history. In 1897, a gold rush broke out in Dawson City.

The native Americans were relocated, Donald trump’s Grandfather, Fred, opened a thriving brothel. Some of the careers that started in the Saloons that led to Hollywood. The city was at the end of the distribution chain of films that were now worthless. For the inhabitants, but they meant to have part of the World.

Morrison loves the historical film material intimately. The traces of the time in the images, give his history lesson with a wistful, lively immediacy. (gm)

The FavouriteVon Yorgos Lanthimos, GB/Irl/USA 2018; 120 min. the
history of film

at the beginning of the 18th century. Century, the mentally not quite stable Anne Stuart (Olivia Colman) ruled the United Kingdom by the war with France. She is supported by her loyal Advisor to Lady Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz). As a new maid (Emma Stone) comes to the court, begins an intrigue for the favor of the Queen.

You need to know anything about the Spanish war of succession, in the evil Fun of Yorgos Lanthimos (“The Killing of a Sacred Deer”) pleasure: Olivia Colman power as a Jive-ass Queen Anne mood; gigantic well-the scenes with Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone. A rough historical speculation full of nasties. Shamelessly, like in the movies must be. (blu)

He is fast, in contrast to its environment: The girlfriend leaves him, the mother doubts that he is really her son, the Church refuses to soon to donate for Jaceks expensive treatment.

Inspired by real cases, has turned the Director of a Satire on Poland, where the glow of a Catholic is respectability more important than humanity. As a Metallica Fan, and free spirit Jacek does not fit in there from the beginning. (ggs)

The grid appears in this Film as an urban air traffic zone, where avatars lawn and Pop-nerve-ups as barkers. Highlights of a Meeting under Disney princesses-Prince, the Like Vanellopes everyday clothing, as well as the final battle with a computer virus. Something the theme of friendship is overused, however. (zas)
