Adolescence: A One-Shot Journey Through Youthful Turmoil and Societal Reckoning

In March 2025, a four-episode British series titled Adolescence premiered on Netflix and quickly sparked global buzz. Centered on teen crime, the show leverages a single-take filming technique, deep thematic exploration, and sharp critiques of modern society to emerge as a cultural phenomenon. With a 99% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.3 IMDb score, its acclaim reflects not just artistic triumph but a collective grappling with the show’s central question: “Who is creating 13-year-ol

The Dimming Shield: America’s Heroic Narrative in a Fractured World

Captain America: Brave New World hit theaters on February 14, 2025, grossing about $372 million worldwide, with $185 million from the U.S. box office. While these numbers aren’t terrible, they pale in comparison to Captain America: Civil War from 2016, which raked in $1.1 billion globally. The film’s second weekend saw a steep 68% drop in ticket sales—the third-largest decline in MCU history, trailing only The Marvels (-78%) and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (-70%). Reviews weren’t much kind

Adrien Brody: Turning Vulnerability into Gold--From the Youngest Oscar Winner to a Double-Crowned Icon

In the vast constellation of Hollywood, Adrien Brody stands as a singular presence—an actor who merges classical melancholy with modern rebellion. He became the youngest Best Actor winner in Oscar history with The Pianist (2002) and, 22 years later, secured his second Academy Award for The Brutalist (2025), making him the 11th actor in history to achieve this honor twice. His acting style is a form of intricate alchemy, blending fragility and resilience, elegance and rawness, into a distinctive

The White Lotus Season 3: Power, Privilege, and Spiritual Decay

As one of HBO’s most provocative and talked-about series in recent years, The White Lotus sets its stories in luxury resorts, uses an ensemble cast and deploys dark humor to strip away the moral veneers of the middle and upper classes. Season 3 continues the sharp critique of its predecessors, moving the backdrop from Hawaii and Sicily to Thailand. In the steamy tropical jungles, it unfolds a global allegory about power, desire, and spiritual emptiness. From the very beginning, The White Lotus s

In Bruges: A Hitman Who Won’t Play Saint Isn’t a Good Hitman

In Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges, the medieval city of Bruges becomes the setting for a story about violence and redemption. Ray, Ken, and Harry are all hitmen, and their time in this old city represents their struggles with their dark pasts. When Ray takes a hallucinogen in front of a Virgin Mary statue, Ken stares at a Madonna and Child statue from the bell tower, and Harry shoots himself by the canal, we see the city as a place where their violent lives collide with strange moments of salvation

Sherlock Holmes: The Gold Standard for Boyfriends

Sherlock Holmes first appeared in late 19th-century Britain, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the original stories, Holmes is a “consulting detective” with a brilliant mind, sharp observation skills, and a unique personality. He is knowledgeable, aloof, sometimes blunt, and even plays the violin. His famous saying—“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth”—captures the core of his rational approach to solving cases. By writing works li

Paddington 3: A Heartwarming but Formulaic Finale

As the third installment of the beloved British franchise, Paddington 3: The Lost Expedition sets out to wrap up the journey of the little bear with the red hat through an international quest to find his roots. While the film continues the warm and comforting tone of its predecessors, its rushed storytelling, inconsistent character development, and underwhelming villain make this adventure feel anticlimactic. Despite its moments of humor and heartfelt emotions, the final chapter ultimately comes

Culpa mía: Forbidden Love and Unbridled Passion

Released in 2023, the Spanish provocative romance film Culpa mía packs in every trope beloved by fans of classic romance novels: complex sibling relationships, crime families, high-stakes car races, childhood trauma, and emotionally charged conflicts brimming with tension and desire. Against a backdrop of dramatic, larger-than-life scenarios, the film brings together an irresistibly attractive pair, crafting a story that is both indulgently trashy and undeniably addictive.

Emmanuelle: Sexual Liberation--A Path to True Freedom or an Illusion?

I recently watched the 50th anniversary 4K re-release of Emmanuelle. People often call it one of the most famous erotic films in cinema history and praise it for its depiction of female liberation. But after seeing it, I walked away feeling puzzled. Is Emmanuelle’s so-called sexual liberation actually genuine, or is it just an illusion? From the start of the film, the director shows a world that seems open and free but is actually filled with constraints. Emmanuelle first appears in a luxurious

Badlands: Love Is the Most Unreliable Thing

The “outlaw couple” is far from a fresh topic in American cinema. Classic films like Gun Crazy directly inspired the New Hollywood milestone Bonnie and Clyde（1976）. Terrence Malick’s debut feature, Badlands (1973), pays homage to this lineage, Arthur Penn was actually the director’s neighbor. Badlands tells the story of a fugitive couple. Kit (Martin Sheen), a “garbage collector”, falls for Holly (Sissy Spacek), a girl strictly controlled by her father. After killing Holly’s father, Kit and Holl

Since its debut in 2003, Wicked, released by Universal Pictures and adapted from the classic Broadway musical of the same name, has journeyed from suffering heavy criticism to garnering widespread acclaim. At its premiere, critics were harsh. The New York Times headlined their review: THEATER REVIEW; There’s Trouble In Emerald City. The New Yorker commented, “The show’s twenty-two songs were written by Stephen Schwartz, and not one of them is memorable.” Despite its hefty $14 million production

She is talented, elegant, capable of laughing at herself and excellent in the dramatic field if the situation demands it. Its multiracial origin gives it a place in all audiences, representative of a new generation and new values ​​for a modern society.

¡Hola! Mi nombre es Ana Gispert y soy licenciada en Artes Visuales (ex historia del arte) por la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Si bien mi orientación está más ligada a lo pictórico, me fascina lo audiovisual y encontrar relaciones entre ambos lenguajes artísticos. Creo que el cine es la forma de arte más completa de todas y me encantaría poder dedicarme a escribir y reseñar películas en distintos medios de comunicación. También tengo un podcast en spotify llamado EJQ - Era joda y quedó.
