Black and French comedy in “Paulette”
By GTVW
During 87 minutes, Paulette discovers a surprising way to supplement her meager pension an unlikely but successful career selling cannabis. With a talented cast such as Bernadette Lafont, Carmen Maura, Dominique Lavanant and Françoise Bertin, this film will make you laugh with dark and creative humor but full of contrasts as lack of opportunities for retired, hopeless for elderly. However Paulette makes special babysitting arrangements, and grudgingly watches her grandson. Her hostility toward him for his skin color and misconceptions about black French citizens makes this film very realistic, with great visual jokes and dense humor. Definitely, director Jerome Enrico created a pure Granny Junkie.

A family that survives the genocide in Indonesia confronts the men who killed one of their brothers.This film focuses on where the murderers remain in power: he confronts the men who killed his brother and, while testing their eyesight, asks them to accept responsibility for their actions. Definitely in 1h 43m, the voice of time dull of devastating events such as death threats, betrayal, war atrocities, and for those victims of Indonesia’s communist purge and more will amaze you. Despite the U.S. government played an important role in the 1965/66 mass killing in Indonesia takes a sensitive subject of the history.

Spy is the new film of Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent Rick Ford (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster. This film was written and directed by Paul Feig.
During 1hr 19 min. Melissa McCarthy’s performance is one of the best. On the contrary, Statham is rarely stands out into his comedic potential. However, the good direction, jokes and the well developed physical comedy makes this is more on par with The Heat.
Most people begin to like the idea that this comedy is very well made from an over weighted -lady jokes combined with two elements that makes successfully a film because this one has comedy and action.
Definitely, Spy is highly recommended for its memorable supporting characters and funny contrast of personalities of Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) and Rick Ford (Jason Statham) as the moody and hyper-masculine action tough guy.

From Director Ross Katz and experienced cast as Rose Byrne, Nick Kroll, Bobby Cannavale, Paula Garces, Jane Krakowski, Joel McHale, Bobby Moynihan, Mike Birbiglia and Josh Charlesa young, a young hipster entrepreneur (Nick Kroll) crashes and burns on the eve of his company’s big launch. With his entire life in disarray, he leaves Manhattan to move in with his estranged pregnant sister (Rose Byrne), brother-in-law (Bobby Cannavale) and three year-old nephew in the suburbs — only to become their manny. Faced with real responsibility, he may finally have to grow up — but not without some bad behavior first.
All characters rediscover their humanity in a comedic film with touchy feely leanings. Adult Beginners has some laughs, it’s really more of a gentle dramedy. However, this also reflects the relationship with siblings who have been forced to assess the damage they’ve done to each other, and to reaffirm the fragility and resilience of their bond. Definitely something that happens in real life even if just to see how well Kroll handles some heavier material this film is worth to see it.
In press conference some members of cast said:
Rose Byrne:”The script was well written with a great dialogue and character really since first reading so I tried not to screw up too much. Of course complex relationships are reflected here and that’s why my character has to understand one part of the real meaning of forgiveness.”
Nick Kroll:”This movie has an extension, culturally of my character. I tried to play characters that have emotional intelligence or lack of intelligence just being the character reactions situations. I tried to play comedy and this movie has a lot of things to do me, especially frighten stuff with Bobby and some reactions of my character. It was exciting to explore, especially with Rose’s freighting stuff. “
Bobby Cannavale:”I just tried to be realistic with people with certainly age, especially at 40’s who suppose to be adults and wild and they don’t understand why they still struggling and in my case I don’t want to be my own father.”
