Song: "City of Stars" - DirectorStephen FrearsStarsMeryl StreepHugh GrantSimon HelbergThe story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York heiress who dreamed of becoming an opera singer, despite having a terrible singing voice.9,58 Stars
What a cute movie. The Cast is so great. Wolowiz can actually act, it never occurred to me that this could be the case. Hugh Grand plays the part of the husband who does everything to hold up the fantasy world of his wife with such loving dignity that you know you witness some kind of pittyless mercy here. And Merlyn Streep, well, everybody knows she can act, but that she can sing also so full of grace wrong is just Oscar worthy. Maybe five stars are a little bit exellerated, but what the heck. - Jay (Germany)

Great slowburner with a unique creepy story. Very clever and intense made, so that you aren't sure what kind of story you are watching until the last five Minutes.

hilarious movie. my husband on the other hand said it was "okay" but that's because he kept thinking of our future daughter and how he would die if she brought home a guy like the one that James Franco plays. also, if you can't handle the F-bomb don't watch this movie. - Panda (USA) - DirectorTom FordStarsAmy AdamsJake GyllenhaalMichael ShannonA wealthy art gallery owner is haunted by her ex-husband's novel, a violent thriller she interprets as a symbolic revenge tale.8,66 Stars

Mindblowing Movie, Like nothing i have ever seen. Weirdly Beautiful - Daniel (Germany)
The movie is absolutely crazy, but i love it. I havent laughed that much in a movie for a long time. - Joel (Germany)
One of the best this year. Such a great, totally unique story. It's like a crossover out of Cast Away (with a talking and farting Wilson), a modern ferry tale, somehow a superhero movie and a deep psychological drama/ coming of age story. Funny at times and sad too. Over the top in some moments (but good) and with a strong and deep underlying theme about the human condition. You won't find often that kind of a well balanced and nuanced story. Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano deliver a stunning performance. I would give them both the Oscar for best actor and supporting actor. Who is what? - you choose. - Jay (Germany)
beautiful, crazy movie - I think the director’s comment pretty much sums it up: We wanted to make a movie, where the first fart makes you laugh and the last fart makes you cry.
Mission accomplished. - Annika (Germany) - DirectorMalcolm D. LeeStarsIce CubeRegina HallAnthony AndersonAs their surrounding community has taken a turn for the worse, the crew at Calvin's Barbershop come together to bring some much needed change to their neighborhood.8,5 Stars
definitely a lot more political than i expected. but I appreciate Ice Cube's work. I think he brings a great perspective on African American lives from a non biased view. Definitely makes you think and brings up conversation. I like a movie that can challenge peoples views but also keep a humorous theme - Panda (USA) - DirectorGareth EdwardsStarsFelicity JonesDiego LunaAlan TudykIn a time of conflict, a group of unlikely heroes band together on a mission to steal the plans to the Death Star, the Empire's ultimate weapon of destruction.8,48 Stars
