Soul von Pixar hat mich sehr berührt.
Undine von Petzold fand ich wunderschön.
Soul von Pixar, ein wunderschöner Film.
Der Unsichtbare war besser als erwartet.
2020 war ein komisches Kinojahr, die Kinos waren ja monatelang zu.
Little Women ist wunderschön.
Undine von Christian Petzold, Paula Beer ist großartig.
Bohnenstange ist so ein starker Film, unterschätzt.
Berlin Alexanderplatz von Burhan Qurbani, starkes deutsches Kino.
Tenet auf Platz eins? Ich habe den Film bis heute nicht verstanden 😅
1917 in einer scheinbar einzigen Einstellung, technisch brillant.
