Williams (2017)
could have been 7 stars if it wasn't for forgetting 30 years
Beautiful, emotional movie showing very well Frank Williams strong, but having difficulties showing emotions (like many men) character. I'm pretty sure deep inside he's got lot of feelings, pride, sadness, loss and caring for his family and team. Not many people could move on like him after so many sad things that happened like his accident, losing his caring wife, his kids not talking to each other etc.
And there we come to the point that makes me give the movie a 6 instead of a 7:
Has the writer or director been in coma for 30 years (1987-2017)? It would have been interesting to know what Frank was thinking about the fatal disaster that occurred in 1994 with the best driver he ever had, Senna, and believe me I'm not Brazilian, but I was in Brazil when it happened and I never before and never after have seen so much sadness in a country where people normally never lose their humor even though they might be sad because of their situation. I'm pretty sure this incident hurt him deeply after all the throwbacks he had before in his life.
All in all great portrait of a standup man and his great daughter that resembles her mom very much. be it in her determination, looks and ability to show emotions unlike her dad.
Code M (2015)
Beautiful memory of my youth
This is my first review here although I didn't even really wanna watch this movie. So this story reminded me a lot of my youth which is already about 40 years ago. I grew up in a little village where lots of mysteries were to explore in the woods, near little rivers and so on. We never discovered anything as important or historical as in this movie, still it was adventurous and exciting. So if you kept a little of your childhood and those memories you will like this. It's anyway rare to see a dutch movie, although it's more connected to french history.
My advice: Be a child again for 90 minutes and remember what was important at this stage of your life. Sometimes this gives you more than the adult priorities of running after money and status.
Enjoy!
