Almost Famous: 5/5
I have always loved rock and roll. It started when my dad would pick me up and I would tap on his head to the beat of Mr. Brightside by The Killers when I was 3 years old. It followed by me getting into rock music and reading about the music (Just Kids by Patti Smith is my favourite autobiography). The music is amazing and I love it which means I found the soundtrack amazing. But the one thing I have always found most interesting about rock and roll, is the creators. The artists. The chemistry they have between them that is like none others. This movie portrays this chemistry perfectly, better than I could put into words. The costumes were not just costumes and the music was not just music, I felt like everything was real. This did not feel like a movie but a documentary. Which I guess it kind of was. But while watching it, I felt so much. I felt included and happy and understood and comforted and proud. The characters helped me live through a life I never will live and I loved this movie for that. It was so perfect, it had everything to keep me completely hooked: a love story, good music, 70s rock and roll vibes, amazing costumes and haircuts, New York, references and most importantly it had Kate Hudson in the 2000s. This movie was a five stars for me and I would like to here the opinion of someone who rates it less then that for it was perfect to me.

Call me by your name: 4.5/5
I loved this movie. It was really good. And I mean really good in the way I am sure it is better than the book - which I have not read - and that says a lot for my library is big and I know a good book when I read it. Though, I could not imagine not watching this movie. I feel like a big part of what made it so good to me was that vibe of European summer. The clothes, the languages, the fruits, the architecture, the small ponds with green grass and the blue sky up in the sky. This movie was incredible to the eye of a girl who loves summer. I decided to wait this movie, not cause I was scared I would love it (well yes a little bit) but because I wanted to watch it after having seen Europe for the first time. Which is why I can say that I think it captures its essence perfectly. Plus, dont even get me started on the live story in this movie! It was incredible and super interesting. The complications, the scary feeling of love and the certainty that you belong with someone who you cannot be with. I loved this movie.

Twilight: 5/5
I know Twilight is not a good and acclaimed movie for cinema lovers, but I don't care (imagine me saying this in Bellas voice btw). It is a movie that brings me comfort, not only because it is iconic and I have read the book, but because I find comfort in knowing that it is not real. I know vampires are not real, I don't mean it in that way, I mean it in the way that this movie doesn't talk about the real world and all its troubles. It focuses on fantasies and fake stories, as well as love. I obviously have something for romance stories, but this one is different. Maybe it's Bella Swans iconic wardrobe or the blue filter that gives this mysterious yet addicting vibe to the film. A Lot of people hate that blue filter, but I actually love it: it is what makes Twilight twilight. Anyways, what do I know about good movies? This one is good enough for me. The love story is questionable in a good way, it is something to think about and everyone has different opinions based on their morals. Jacob or Edward: cute lovely friendship or dangerous raw passionate love. As they said and I quote: -The lion fell in love with the lamb- -What a stupid lamb- -What a sick masochistic lion-. This movie is not all dumb and cringe scenes, there are questions one might ask themselves if they analyze it enough. It's a movie which makes me think and wonder: Was it dumb of the lamb to fall in love with something that could kill it, or was it dumb of the lion to run away from that love? It's an amazing question, which the movie really interpreted. The actors might not have deserved an oscar, but there was something in their eyes that captured the motions perfectly. The look in Edwards eyes as he observed Bella changed throughout the movie, and that's one of my favourite parts. The evolution from the first movie to the last of the characters and their relationships is super interesting. I think the hate this movie gets is understandable, but it also deserves a bit of credit and praise. Twilight is classic, maybe it's just not a classic for everyone.

Me and Earl and the dying girl: 4.5/5
This was not a happy movie. You might think it is when you see the characters laughing together or when you see them making silly movies, but its not. This movie crushed me from the inside and out, it left me with a hole in my heart and an uncountable amount of tears on my face. The character did not have the trendiest outfits, the movie did not have the best actors in the world (though they still did an amazing job at capturing each and every single emotion) and the budget might not have been the highest. All that might have mattered if I was a film critic, but I'm not. I'm a teenage girl who watched this in her bed before eating a warm supper. The camera work was good, I think, i did not spend too much time focusing on the cinematography or videography since i was too entrailed in the story and chemistry forming. As I said, a film critic would have said this was good, maybe a bit mid-even movie. But im saying this was a gorgeous and emotionally moving piece of art. The emotions felt during this movie, both from the actors and the one watching the movie, are passionate and real. Nothing felt forced. This movie had some touches of humour, sadness and an undeniable feeling of i-want-it-but-i-know-it-wont-last. It was amazing in my opinion. This is normally the part where I would recommend this movie but I am not sure if I would to anyone. If you are on letterboxd for the cinema and film and raw yearning, this might not be for you. The only thing I got out of this movie was a feeling of- well yeah, just a feeling. I felt it. The movie I mean: I felt it. Maybe not everyone will feel it, but they can try.

Memoir of a snail: 5/5
I am truly at a loss for words after seeing this movie. I am not too sure where to start since I have so many amazing things to say about this movie. I would like to start by telling you the animation was incredible, be it for the style of the artists or for the whole movie being stop-motion. I found it absolutely jaw dropping. Every image, every character, every scene and background, they were all extremely beautiful. It felt like a silly little character in a gray and brown world, it fit the vibe of the movie perfectly. Secondly, the story line was incredible. The way the story is told as if it were someone telling you their paste. It felt like listening to someone read a book to you which they already know the ending to. I had to actually stand up at some points because I was so shocked. I am not sure if I liked this movie so much because I did not have high expectations or because I had no idea it was that deep, but I am glad I watched it. The characters were so well developed and I wanted to know everyone's secrets and all of their life details. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of the Trolls In Boxes art style and the Fantastic Mister Fox or Isle of Dogs vibe.

Pride and Prejudice: 4.5/5
Jane Austen
One of my favourite all time stories is Pride and Prejudice by the amazing Jane Austen. It is one of the first classics I have ever read, I was 13 years old the first time I started it. I did not quite understand the language as it was old English, and I did not quite understand what was happening either. The only thing I really did know was that the feeling of joy and pride after finishing the book was something I wanted to feel a lot more. I told my mother I read the book and she was proud, though she did not know of that book. When I was 14 years old, I saw the movie for the first time ever and it completely changed me. I wanted to reread the book and watch all the movies about Jane Austen books and read all her books: I was driven by pure passion for this lady and her era. Now, as I am older, I have read more than half her books and seen tons of movies. The characters are enchanting and the romance is worth all the book prizes ever. If you have not read any Jane Austen books or you find they are intimidating, just know that what awaits you is beautiful and full of romance as well as unforgettable friendship and sisterhood.

Paper Town: 4/5
John Green
John Green is a wonderful teen author, I have read 4 of his books and Paper Town was my absolute favourite. The movie was questionable but I will not talk about that. What I will talk about though is the storyline as well as the characters. This story is not only filled with romance and humour but also a lot of mystery. It is a book that follows the story of Quentin whose next door neighbor (his longtime crush) runs away and leaves a trail of clues to find her. Him and his friends embark on a joyful adventure to find her the day before their highschool graduation. As it is a book featuring mainly teenagers, I find their conversations and actions to be quite funny at times. I was completely and utterly captured by this book and I finished it in only a few days. I wanted to know why and how his neighbor Margo ran away and I loved the whole process of finding her. If young adult mystery books are your thing, this is what you need.

Picking Daisies On a Sunday: 4.5/5
Liana Cincotti
I will be honest with you: I have a small guilty pleasure for extremely cringe romance media. Whether it is pop songs by some romantic songwriter, a corny fluffy book that I will most probably cringe at or a tv show that is the most stereotyped thing ever. Though, this book surprised me. I bought it since it was pink and girlie, but its content surprised me ( in a good way ). It was well written and I absolutely fell in love with the characters. It didn't move too fast and nobody did anything cringable in my opinion. The descriptions were well placed and most importantly: the characters did not wear skinny jeans!! I loved it. It felt just like any pop song where there is a lovely happy ending. If romance is your thing and you are looking for something corny but not too cringe: this is perfect for you. And if you are wondering what its like since i didn't really give a resume ( resume: childhood best friend, stopped seeing each other, met again) just searched the aesthetic up on pinterest lol.

Thursday Murder Club: 4/5
Richard Osman
Ooh, I liked this one. It's the first of a series of four ( five? ) where every Thursday some old people in a retirement home meet up to solve crimes. Since one of them was an old police officer, they used some unsolved crimes that she stole from her office before leaving. One day, though, there is a murder right in their cozy little town. These charming characters are humorous and smart, their story will not disappoint. I could not put this book down when I read it: I needed to know what happened, I needed to know why and who, I also needed the jokes and friendships that were in this book. It was perfect, not a thriller that is dark and gory and heavy. Just something light and reconforting while being interesting and a page turner at the same time.

Van Gogh is amazing,
watch the movies "Loving Vincent" and
"At Eternity's Gate" if you
want to know more about him!!
