The Here After (2015)

Very poor director

[1/10 · 21 December 2019]

Sadly, this debut is very mediocre and Magnus' skills to handle work on a film set are even poorer. The film is a wasted potential of a good idea. Magnus Von Horn has little to offer as a filmmaker.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

Playing too safe...

[6/10 · 27 October 2018]

I absolutely loved some bits in this story but also was quite confused watching it. First of all, Freddie was an incredible shy person offstage, with this irritatingly sweet habit of covering his mouth when laughing, he was clearly very self consciousg. I did not see the actor doing it, instead I saw a guy coming across really confident. Another thing is that Freddie was extremely promiscuous, not sure why the film is erring on the side of caution with this... It was a part of who he was. Both Freddie and Marry were heart broken when he decided to come clean with his sexuality. The film gives the impression like he was actually pining over her for ages, when the fact is that they maintained a successful friendship and he had his heart broken by multiple guys , so he was not romantically involved with her like forever. In fact, it was a huge emotional blow for Marry, and she didn't just move out and move on, it took her ages to become seriously involved with another guy. The parties Freddie threw were nothing like they showed , they were unbelievably wild and excessive... the ones in this film just don't do justice to the real things. Freddie did not meet Jim in his house. Another thing is that Freddie was not necessarily very loyal to Jim and didn't treat him very well , and poor Jim took loads of blows until Freddie finally settled down with him. Finally, I'm not sure if Freddie actually introduced Jim to his father and if his father actually patted him on the back suddenly forgetting where they were coming from. Dialogues are also a weak point of the film. I love Freddie and I feel like he deserves a real , brave bohemian story of his life.

Missing the edge

Not sure how to feel about the production. The are some bits I absolutely love in this film, however, it's also visibly flawed. I don't feel it really does justice to Freddie. Freddie was an extremely shy person offstage, here he comes across incredibly confident from the beginning. He also had this irritatingly sweet habit of covering his mouth when laughing which is totally ignored by the actor. He was also incredibly promiscuous, what is merely hinted in the story. Obviously, both Freddie and Marry had their hearts broken when Freddie decided to face his sexuality but they maintained the friendship and Freddie embarked on many relationships and took lots of emotional blows from a multiple guys he was in love with, in this film however it looks like he was forever not over Marry , who basically moved out and moved on. The fact was, she never stopped loving him , and it took her ages to build up a new life and become emotionally involved with another guy. And the last thing... The parties Freddie threw were ... excessive and wild beyond imagination, nothing like it was actually shown. Also, Freddie didn't meet Jim in his house, Freddie was not super faithful to him, did but test him that well, somewhat Jim stuck around to the very end with him. I'm not sure about Freddie's parents, was he really do open about his relationship in front of his parents at some point? Did his dad really go beyond his beliefs and culture to pay him on the back when/if he found out? Very nice editing but dialogues at some points just truly horrible. All in all, it's a bit of a disappointment, such a great artist like Freddie deserves something less conventional, less careful and more bohemian-like film story.

We the Coyotes (2018)

Concentrated

[8/10 · 21 October 2018]

Nicely integrated story built up with tight shots and a concentrated in time love story of two people captured at the beginning of their journey together.

Watch muted

[5/10 · 13 October 2018]

I have up watching this film 28 minutes to the end. Seriously hard to say what the film is about and who the film is about. Definitely to long, a lot of unnecessary scenes, dialogues, close ups... Just one big mash up. Most characters totally lackluster, expressionless, oversimplified... Digging into to many unnecessary plots, badly written story where bad cheap dialogues just clutter the picture with bad acting on top of it all. Such a shame as the sad story carries a lot of cinematic potential.
