The Queen's Gambit (2020)

Emotianal, beautiful, breathtakingly exciting!

[10/10 · 30 January 2021]

The best one I've seen in a very long time! I still cannot believe it is possible. How do you make a movie about a chess-playing, drugs-abusing, heavy-drinking, depressed and confused, introverted and socially inadequate, orphaned genius chess player girl in 1960s into this beautiful, exciting and very emotional piece of art that's even a bit funny. Great acting, skilfully shot, beautiful scenes, touching soundtrack, lots of breathtaking emotions. Almost perfect, maybe just a little bit short on the thought provoking side ;). I can full heartedly recommended it.

Loved it! A very good movie.

Finally something new and very good on my favourite topic. A very well made movie. I especially loved the second gen robot. It was perfect. Conveying so much feeling without expression. The overall mood was a bit gloomier but very appropriate having in mind the final twist 😉. Yes it is easily predictable but no less exciting. The story may be a bit undeveloped, additional 20-30min. would allow it to ripen. Nicely done 👍 goes into my best movies list along with: Ex Machina, Her and Automata.

I admit I am biased, I love this topic.

I find the AI topic fascinating and I love the Doomsday scenario. I hope this show will intrigue me by "asking" interesting questions instead of trying to answer trivial onces. Since I have only seen the first episode it's a bit early to judge but I hope for the best. I can't wait to see what's next on neXt ;) So far the show has excellent potential. I like it's pace, fast but thorough. I like the acting and the music. Overall I'm very pleased. Maybe it can fill my "Black Mirror" void :)

The Vanishing of Sidney Hall (2017)

Powerful exiting and very well told story!

This was one of the few movies I've recently watched and immediately wanted to tell the world it is GOOD, very good! The story is intriguing and the actors played it very well but the way it was narrated added just the right spice to make it perfect. It kept me a bit puzzled almost all the way but game me just the right amount of clarity and fulfillment at the end.
