If you care about the Oscars, you know that the 2023 “Best Leading Actress” category was between Cate Blanchett for this movie and Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022, my review here). It was Michelle who managed to snatch that Oscar (and deservedly so, in my opinion); however, having now finally watched Tár, I understand why it was close and honestly…

To write a sentence “a controversial film made by Lars von Trier” feels almost redundant, as his last couple of movies have had that attached to them. And yet, The House That Jack Built seemed different, as I still remember reading about many walkouts during its premiere in 2018. When I read why many have walked out, I…
I believe this movie holds the title of being the first 2023 film where most of the audience went: “Holy shit, that’s actually better than we expected!” Because I still remember the trailers for it, and they didn’t inspire confidence. They were not bad, but for a movie about the most famous role-playing game, they…

If there ever was a movie I am as far from the target audience as possible, Gran Turismo might be it. I don’t game (that much), if/when I do, I don’t play racing games, and due to the Fast & Furious franchise, I have given up on any racing movies being decent. And, to be perfectly honest, until a…

What started as Hollywood’s idea to bring this old, almost forgotten TV show from the 1960s back to the public consciousness (the original series ran from 1966 – 1973) became a franchise almost by accident. You could argue that this franchise has two eras – before 2011, where you had two decent movies and one bad…
Unless you are living literally under a rock, you must have heard about Barbie. Whether it’s the doll or this film, or maybe you have heard or even participated in the Barbenheimer (the event where you watched both this film and Oppenheimer (2023, my review here), the same day/weekend they came out), it was impossible to escape the campaign behind this…

I need to start this review by clarifying something – the first Mamma Mia! (2008) is my happy place. It was one of those feel-good movies we would have on many times because my mum absolutely loved it back when I called the Czech Republic my home. I must have seen that movie at least ten times,…
I need to be honest here – I don’t really watch documentaries. I know I should, and I understand that now we have more quality documentary movies coming out than ever, but… I prefer narrative films. I always thought about it this way – watching movies and TV shows is my way of switching off…
