Anamaria Vartolomei’s lead performance is necessarily and intensely physical—and subject to some harrowing bodily choreography in the homestretch—but what binds us to her is a sense of the perceptive, gifted writer trapped behind weary, terrified eyes.

Not a moment feels didactic, and Anne never seems like a case study. Instead, the film thrums with the practical resolve of a young woman desperate to begin her own life before creating another.

TOP CRITIC
The most-need-to-be-seen feature of the year . . . . In this grippingly honest, no-holds-barred film, a 23-year-old lit student seeks an abortion in 1963 France, an act for which she, her doctor, and anyone else who aids her can be sent to prison.

When Diwan has to choose between reckoning the protagonist or impacting the audience, she chooses the latter. And for a few minutes, everything falls apart… almost impeccable otherwise. Almost. [Full review in Spanish]

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness labors under the weight of the sprawling MCU, but Sam Raimi’s distinctive direction casts an entertaining spell.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness delivers all the action and visual excitement you want in a Marvel movie while taking the franchise in a much darker direction.
Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary. Sequel to the 2016 film.

Synopsis (Warning: Spoilers!)
Recognizing witchcraft runes, Strange consults Wanda Maximoff for help but realizes that she is responsible for the attacks. After acquiring the Darkhold and becoming the Scarlet Witch, Maximoff believes that controlling Chavez’s powers will allow her to reunite with Billy and Tommy, the children she created during her time in Westview.[N 3] When Strange refuses to surrender Chavez, Maximoff attacks Kamar-Taj, killing many sorcerers. Chavez accidentally transports herself and Strange to Earth-838 while Maximoff uses the Darkhold to “dreamwalk”, taking control of her Earth-838 counterpart, who lives a suburban life with her own Billy and Tommy. A surviving sorceress sacrifices herself to destroy the Darkhold and break the dreamwalk. Enraged, Maximoff forces Wong to lead her to Mount Wundagore, the source of the Darkhold’s power, to reestablish the dreamwalk.
While searching for help, Strange and Chavez are apprehended by Earth-838’s Sorcerer Supreme, Karl Mordo, and brought before the Illuminati, a group consisting of Mordo, Peggy Carter, Blackagar Boltagon, Maria Rambeau, Reed Richards, and Charles Xavier. They explain that through reckless use of their universe’s Darkhold in an attempt to defeat Thanos, Earth-838’s Strange triggered a universe-destroying “incursion”. After defeating Thanos, the Illuminati executed their Strange to prevent him from causing more harm. Mordo believes that Earth-616’s Strange is similarly dangerous, but Maximoff reestablishes her dreamwalk at Mount Wundagore and arrives in her Earth-838 counterpart’s body before they can pass judgment. She kills all of the Illuminati except Mordo, whom Strange subdues before fleeing with Chavez. The two escape with help from the Earth-838 counterpart of Strange’s ex-fiancé, Christine Palmer, a scientist working with the Illuminati.
Strange, Chavez, and Palmer enter the space between universes to find the Book of Vishanti, which is the antithesis to the Darkhold, but Maximoff appears and destroys it. She then takes over Chavez’s mind, using her powers to send the others to an incursion-destroyed universe. Strange defeats the destroyed universe’s Strange, who has been corrupted by his universe’s Darkhold, and uses it to dreamwalk into the body of his deceased counterpart on Earth-616. With Wong’s help, Strange saves Chavez from Maximoff as she tries to take Chavez’s powers, and encourages Chavez to use her abilities. She transports Maximoff to Earth-838, where she sees Billy and Tommy recoil from her in fear while crying for their real mother. Realizing the error of her ways, Maximoff relents and uses her powers to bring down Mount Wundagore, simultaneously destroying all copies of the Darkhold throughout the multiverse and apparently sacrificing herself in the process. Chavez returns Strange and Palmer to their respective universes.
Sometime later, Kamar-Taj is repaired and the surviving sorcerers, joined by Chavez, continue training. Strange develops a third eye as a result of using the Darkhold and dreamwalking into a corpse. In a mid-credits scene, Strange is approached by a sorceress[N 4] who warns him that his actions have triggered an incursion that he must help fix. Strange follows her into the Dark Dimension.

Awards & Nominations: 2 wins & 3 nominations
George Lucas’ feature debut presents a spare, bleak, dystopian future, and features evocatively minimal set design and creepy sound effects
THX-1138 is a sci-fi classic that’s worth watching, especially if you’re a die-hard George Lucas fan. Sure, it may be a bit slow and confusing at times, but the restored version with enhanced special effects makes it much more enjoyable. Plus, the futuristic landscape is so oddball and campy that you can’t help but be entertained. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a hologram that comes to life because he wants to? Overall, THX-1138 is a solidly entertaining and unique film that’s worth checking out.

Despite his scenes of bland horror, Lucas offers the 25th century as a arch, campy place, a conception not satiric enough to be accepted as comedy and not quite insightful enough to be taken seriously.

The empty space surrounding the vulnerable man emphasizes the exertion involved rather than the goal of escape: like the hologram who came to life because he wanted to, THX finally achieves his humanity by an assertion of will.

Plot
It’s sometime in the future in a state controlled society, where conformity and homogeneity are the rule. What is also the rule is that the populace follows the wants of the faceless state without question. How this is achieved is through a mandatory drug regimen, which also suppresses human desire, with sexual intercourse and human relationships banned. The law of the state is policed by a force of robocops. The physical environment is totally within a manufactured enclosure, what being outside of this unknown. THX 1138 is a loyal subject, he who goes about his business as a skilled factory working building robocops. And even when he begins to have strange feelings, he does what is obliged by going to the state run confessional, which further brainwashes through its reinforced mantra of happiness, loyalty and understanding. THX 1138 is given a glimpse into the other side through his computer matched and thus appointed female roommate, LUH 3417, and her surveillance colleague SEN 5241, LUH 3417’s vision which may be something that THX 1138 may want to continue despite its illegality. If THX 1138 is able to keep his activities from the authorities and the robocops, he will have to figure out what options are available to him.

Thunderball (1965)
83%RT Audience Score: 73%
Awards & Nominations: Won 1 Oscar
5 wins & 5 nominations total
Lavishly rendered set pieces and Sean Connery’s enduring charm make Thunderball a big, fun adventure, even if it doesn’t quite measure up to the series’ previous heights
Thunderball is a classic Bond film that’s slightly bloated with too much technology for some critics’ taste. However, the reported $5.5 million budget is visible in the posh scenery of the Bahamas and the handsome color of the film. The violence is funny, but the climactic slaughter is a little too mindless for some. Despite its flaws, Thunderball is still a more-than-worthwhile diversion for the action-loving escapist in us all. Plus, who can resist the frighteningly easy charm of Sean Connery as Bond and the beauty of Luciana Paluzzi? Overall, Thunderball is one of the good ones in the long-running franchise.

Slightly bloated Bond, with too much technology for my taste and a climactic slaughter that’s a little too mindless to be much fun.

There’s visible evidence that the reported $5.5 million budget was no mere publicity figure; it’s posh all the way.

The color is handsome. The scenery in the Bahamas is an irresistible lure. Even the violence is funny. That’s the best I can say for a Bond film.

In this, the fourth instalment in the series from the original team, you have a classic Bond film that wants for nothing but a trim.

Classic 007 — not the best picture in the long-running series, to be sure, but a more-than-worthwhile diversion for the action-loving escapist in us all.

The film moves at a leisurely pace, but it still exudes Classic Bond and features some of the finest spy work in the series to date.

This features the ideal realisation of Blofeld – a disembodied voice with shutters obscuring his presence from the torso up. It’s far more chilling than in later Bonds.

To Connery, who develops his character throughout the film with a frightening ease, demonstrating that the character fits him like a glove, adds the beauty of Luciana Paluzzi. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Fall of the House of Usher (1960)
83%RT Audience Score:
Awards & Nominations: NA
Scary, strange, and maybe a little silly, House of Usher represents an early high mark for Vincent Price and a career triumph for director Roger Corman
House of Usher is a classic horror film that will have you on the edge of your seat. With falling chandeliers, fireplaces that attack unwanted visitors, and coffins with people buried alive, this movie has it all. Vincent Price’s performance is impressive, and the eerie atmosphere of the mansion will give you chills. While the film may be a bit garish and long-winded, it’s still a must-watch for horror fans. Just make sure to keep the lights on!

Effectively using weird color and dim light, the film generates the right terror atmosphere for the fog-shrouded mansion, with its history of tainted blood, mad ness, evil and retribution.

A surprisingly creditable production which, by and large, does an adept job of re-creating the same eerie unreality which has made the story a masterpiece of its genre.
