Review: 4.5 Uchuvas
Comment: The first time I saw this movie I wasn't very sure I liked it because it's so bloody bizarre that I wasn't sure what all that mess was about!! But the second time I saw it I just couldn't stop laughing, What a master piece! One of my favorites movies now.

Comment: It's a very tough movie, sweet but very tough. I like the way the movie turns, there is where all my Uchuvas go. The boy is great! I like the title a lot (not a very profound comment but...I like it)

Guy Ritchie, UK, 2008, imdb
Review: 2.5 Uchuvas
Comment: Same subject?! again?! Boring! Maybe I am a bit unfair with this review as the movie is not that bad but tbh I'll expect that Guy Ritchie comes with something new! By far, Snatch and Two Smoking are so much better!...b y f a r! To top I was watching the film with this guy behind me that didn't stop laughing without a reason!!!!!uuugggrrr!!!!what a pain!
Bikur Ha-Tizmoret
English Title: The Band's Visit
Eran Kolirin, Israel, 2007, imdb
Review: 4.5 Uchuvas
Comment: Only for the ridiculous situation that the band is in, it's worth watching! So funny! The acting is really great; they are the ones that makes the film real, as the situation is not!
Reprise
English Title: Reprise
Joachim Trier, Norway, 2006, imdb
Review: 4.5 Uchuvas
Comment: What I like from this movie a lot is that the story is very simple but is told in a very detailed way. It doesn't follow linear time (which I loved in movies) but you get every single part of the whole story. I guess this dynamism is the reason why I gave 4.5 Uchuvas to the film. Also, the film is so delicate. It's funny how a movie can make you feel cold by the color of it.

English Title: Children of Heaven
Majid Majidi, Iran, 1997, imdb
Review: LaUchuva d'Or
Comment: This has been the movie I've liked the most so far in ages! I'd dare to say not only in ages but in my entire life. The story is very original; it made my heart shrink but also made me laugh so much. The movie is intelligent, delicate, soft, tough, funny, sad...It has it all (in a really good way) . The acting of the two kids is just incredible! I just LOVED when the little girl, without looking at his brother's eyes and pretending she's writing, talk to him in whispers: "aaallllliiii...."
