"a thousand and one" a very strong story between a mother and son, but very slow

i kind of liked the movie, but also not like it in a way. The performances were amazing, teyana tylor was good. The way they showed the neighborhood, the geography of the place was very nice and natural. The cinematography was amazing, especially the colour grading, it had a retro effect with some grains kind of effect which was very amazing. The movie effectively show's the difficulties a single mom has to goes through. The movie was a nice portrayal of a black people in America.

The main issue with the movie is the pace. Even though the movie is not even 2 hrs long, i felt the movie was slow and dragging in many places. If they would have made the movie in a better pace, i think i would have liked it a bit more.

"bones and all" a very different concept, but didn't work quite much for me.

I am not sure if i liked the movie, the movie sure is very different. Someone with cannibalistic nature is usually portrayed as a bad person or a villain ( which i feel is the right way to do it), but here its totally different. But here cannibalism in human beings are portrayed as a natural stuff in them or as something that they cant avoid. I liked the performances, everyone were good. The cinematography was nice. The movie had a good aesthetics and style.

The issue with the movie is that the characters didn't feel much effective actually. The way Maren yearly's character is developed through the voice over in the tape by her father was nice, but not effective. It would have worked visually much more. Mark Rylance's character didn't work for me. The pacing felt a bit slow.

A pretty average watch according to me.

"madanolsavam" a nice comedy political satire"

amazing performances by all the actors. Suraj venjaramood, bhama arun, rajesh madhavan, all were amazing. The most impressive part is the writing as characters are really enjoyable and connecting throughout the movie. The jokes work mostly, but were not complete laugh out loud moments. An engaging and enjoyable watch according to me.

The issue with the movie is that climax couldn't land an effective impact. Comparing it with Ratheesh Balakrishna poduvals previous movie "naa thaan case kodu", this movie fails to create a similar impact. This movie is also basically man vs system but the way he wins the system is not enjoyable satisficing enough.
