Nanny (2022)

A young immigrant works as a nanny to collect money to bring her son to her.

'Nanny' is a dramatic film and uses elements of horror and fantasy to create a sense of threat and warning for an idealized future. Visually, Nanny is flawless, impressive and with rich and meaningful chromatic effects. As a message, the film manages to be very confusing and create the impression of deception through an ending that does not seem correlated with the foreshadowing that seemed intended throughout the film, even from its beginning.

Director:  Nikyatu Jusu      
With: Anna Diop, Michelle Monaghan, Sinqua Walls, Morgan Spector

Rating: 6/10

Titans (2018– )

Aventurile unei echipe de supereroi tineri si adolescenti, adesea asociati ca sidekick ai unor supereroi arhicunoscuti.

Un serial ca multe din ultimii ani, bazat pe una din multele serii de benzi desenate, DC in cazul de fata. Spre deosebire de altele din acelasi univers (ca Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman), Titans este mai matur, mai serios, mai multi-fatetat si bine facut, in ciuda ironiei faptului ca eroii sunt in majoritate adolescenti. Sezonul doi nu este la fel de puternic ca primul, dar Titans nu si-a pierdut potentialul si atractia.
