Since June 2024, I started writing quick reviews of movies, TV shows and games I’ve watched or played. Here’s every one of them.

Spirited Away
Reviewed on Jun 14, 2025
Okay, first of all I think this is an amazing movie, it looks and sounds amazing, all the characters are extremely creative, it’s a beautiful coming-of-age story and it’s a major pop culture icon. But watching it felt like a bit of a chore, I can’t really explain why. Good thing the ratings here are about my enjoyment of the movies, not their “objective” quality 😅
The Ugly Stepsister

Pretty solid body horror movie. Some real memorable scenes with really good acting, with a solid story that builds on top of the classic Cinderella. Can’t go wrong with this one!

What an incredibly beautiful movie 🥺
Without any dialogue, it was able to make me connect to every character much more than most movies do. Cute and heartwarming, it totally deserved the Oscar for best animation it got!
Schindler's List

A real punch in the gut and a must-watch. Not much more that can be said.
Fuck nazis.
The Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies
Reviewed on Apr 20, 2025
Has some pretty amazing moments and is overall very good, but just like the first one, it overdoes the action scenes, with one after another. So it ends up feeling bloated. Not enough to make it a bad movie, far from it! I never understood why the Hobbit movies are so underrated.
The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug
Reviewed on Apr 13, 2025
The first time I watched this one back in 2013, I remember not enjoying it as much as I enjoyed the first. But now, I think it’s much better.
I think it could be a bit goofier overall, but I pretty much enjoyed everything in this rewatch (except for the out-of-place romance). Smaug’s scenes are simply amazing, too.
The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey
Reviewed on Mar 30, 2025
Judge me, but I actually like The Hobbit movies. This is my first rewatch since it came out in 2012, and while this one has a few too many action scenes (which are fun, just get tiresome after 3 hours), it’s still a really good movie in an universe I love.
Sure, its quality never matches the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but to be honest I don’t think anything else ever will.

An overall decent movie until the Armenians come in. Then it gets amazing! For a drama film, the comedy is what steals the show.
Captain Fantastic
Reviewed on Mar 09, 2025
Such a good movie! It touches on very sensitive topics in a very heartwarming way. It’s fun, serious and uplifting at the same time.
Conclave
Reviewed on Feb 28, 2025
For a movie with pretty much no action, it is incredibly good at keeping you hooked. Everything is well made, and I loved the ending too!
Bonus points for being the first time I see my favorite dish on a movie 😋
The Whale
Reviewed on Feb 02, 2025
Amazing drama with great acting by Brendan Fraser and some good thought-provoking messages. Got really emotional by the end.
Nosferatu
Reviewed on Jan 25, 2025
Holy shit, what an incredible movie.
Tense, intense, beautiful, terrifying.
The Platform 2
Reviewed on Dec 31, 2024
Whatever this movie had working on its favor on the first half is completely lost on the latter half. A lot of disjointed narratives that don’t seem to go anywhere.
Wicked - Part I
Reviewed on Nov 30, 2024
Despite being a musical, this is pretty good! Interesting story, right amount of nostalgia, and honestly l even enjoyed some of the musical parts around the halfway point of the movie.
I just thought the final sequence was a bit drawn out so the landing wasn’t perfect. But overall, way better than I expected.
I'm Still Here (Ainda Estou Aqui)
Reviewed on Nov 18, 2024
This one hits hard. It’s a brilliantly told true story of just one of the thousands of families destroyed the military dictatorship in Brazil.
Its depiction of Rio de Janeiro in the 70s is very on point. The details make everything much more relatable. It’s a powerful reminder of why we must celebrate and fight to keep the rights we have today.

What the fuck?
Late Night with the Devil
Reviewed on Oct 20, 2024
One of the best horror movie setups I’ve ever seen. Its premise of being footage of a 70s talk show works really well and it draws you in really quickly.
No ending could have lived up to the quality of that setup, though. Which made me feel a bit confused and disappointed when it ended. Still a great watch though!

It’s one of those movies where you spend a good chunk of its duration wondering if it’s going anywhere. But you can’t look away, it draws you in. And then things click.
Amazing acting, photography, and sound. Not easy to understand but worth the effort.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Reviewed on Sep 20, 2024
I never watched the first one, but this sequel is a very good time! It’s never afraid to be fun and never takes itself seriously, which is a breath of fresh air nowadays.
It’s far from being a cinema masterpiece, but it’s 105 minutes of pure entertainment. Great soundtrack too!
Grave of the Fireflies

Just as beautiful as it is sad. What a movie. 🥺
