Benched (2014)

Benched needs a season 2!

[8/10 · 24 January 2015]

I love this show, it is such a shame that it has been canceled. Please, dear Lord of the airing, if you read this, sign (at least) season 2!!

The two main leading roles are fun and the scenario is pretty well written. Somehow it reminds me Ally McBeal but without the annoying Calista Flockart. Eliza Coupe is delicious. She perfectly endorses the part of the daddy's bitchy rich girl.

It's fresh, it's contemporary.

Please, put it back on air, I wanna know what is coming next!

Let me be the public defender of this show and ask the Court a deal for Benched!

Mommy (I) (2014)

Sublime

[10/10 · 16 December 2014]

My judgment is probably a bit biased since I've seen all the work of Dolan and I loved it. I Killed My Mother was a cinematic shock. I waited for over eight months to watch Mommy. And yet, I was a little apprehensive. Afraid of being possibly disappointed . It often happens with me when critics and public is too unanimous. But Nay! The film is sublime, a master piece. It's beautiful. It's a pearl of sensitivity. We sail with the characters on a delicate balance between hope and fatality. It's just beautiful, genuine, fragile and strong.

How a kid gets to build that kind of realization so sophisticated, so pure ? Attention let us be said, Dolan is a genius ! Congratulations to you Xavier and long life to your creativity !
