It has been probably a couple of years or more since the last time I watched so many movies in a single month. In 2020, the only new movie I went to see at the theater was Tenet, during my trip to Milwaukee, everything else was on Netflix, HBOMax or Amazon Prime. So let’s start with my favorite of the month: Uncle Frank (2020), directed by Alan Ball, is a fascinating film about coming to terms with who we truly are. The protagonist is Sophia Lillis, a college student who admires his uncle, Paul Bettany, a distinguished college professor who has a successful life in New York, far away from his native South Carolina; she starts dating Colton Ryan, and the boy tries to seduce her uncle. Immediately after that, the uncle reveals the truth: he is gay and has a relationship with Peter Macdissi. Suddenly, the girl realizes why everyone in South Carolina hates the uncle, and a death in the family forces them to drive to the south. In the trip, this unlikely trio get to know and respect each other, but once they reach their destination, the aggressiveness and discrimination of the very religious southerners will cause the good uncle to unravel, who is unable to cope with the hate of his family and the memories of his first homosexual love; the scenes between the two high school boys experimenting with their sexuality are unforgettable, all thanks to Cole Doman (famous for his role as a gay teenager in “Henry Gamble's Birthday Party”) and Michael Perez. A talented filmmaker, Ball will make his audience laugh out loud in one scene only to make them cry in the next one. Certainly one of the best films of 2020!
Filmmaker Aaron Sorkin impressively reconstructs the true events of 1968 in The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020). College student Eddie Redmayne (famous for his role as a bisexual teen in “Savage Grace”), along with several political activists such as Alex Sharp and Sacha Baron Cohen, are under trial for alleged conspiration when, in reality, they were part of peaceful movements that vehemently opposed the Vietnam war. Well documented and carefully scripted, Sorkin shares with us the nightmarish legal system of the US in the Nixon administration. In 2020 we saw all the protests about BLM and in this movie we see strangely similar protests and painfully similar injustices, which proves that in some aspects things haven’t changed that much in the past half a century. The all-star cast includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt (famous for his role as a gay teenager in “Mysterious Skin”), Frank Langella ("Robot & Frank") and Michael Keaton ("Birdman").
Let Them All Talk (2020), directed by Steven Soderbergh, is a unique take on the meaning we associate to our lives and what we do for a living. Meryl Streep ("The Hours") is a successful writer who looks with disdain to anyone who isn’t an intellectual; and who, in a luxury cruise, gets a chance to reunite with her friends from college, two women that live ordinary and sad lives. The protagonist also invites Lucas Hedges (famous for his role as a gay teenager in "Lady Bird"), her beloved nephew, who is secretly keeping tabs on her and reporting to the editor. There are fantastic dialogues and above all an enthralling discussion about high literature versus low literature, and about how easy or hard it is to create fiction, all of this imbued a very subtle conflict between these mature women. I highly recommend this one!
Gavin O'Connor’s The Way Back (2020) is an atypical drama that revolves around Ben Affleck ("Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"), a functional alcoholic who lives a mundane life, devoid of all hope and meaning, that is until he is summoned to his former high school, to train the basketball team. Dealing with his past as a basket superstar and with his present as an alcoholic loser proves to be a challenging task, but it is especially revealing to see how training a group of kids will be enough for the protagonist to redeem himself. There are some really amazing sequences here, and the way alcoholism is portrayed is honest and not exaggerated. The cast includes Ben Irving and Will Ropp.
Nat Faxon and Jim Rash combine black humor with irony in Downhill (2020), a profound and disturbing examination of marriage in general and one couple in particular: Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell, who are spending a few days in a ski resort with their children. This remake of a Swedish production might pale in comparison with the original but it still resonated with me. Anyone who has experienced relationship problems or marital crisis will be able to identify with this couple, and with how their marriage is dramatically falling apart.
Josh Trank’s Capone (2020) is an extraordinary biopic focusing on the last years of Al Capone, magnificently played by Tom Hardy ("Dunkirk"). Neurosyphilis has transformed the world’s most prominent gangster into a man that suffers from dementia. Instead of glorifying his violent past, Trank shows a world in decadence and a man who isn’t only losing all his memories but also control over his most basic bodily functions. Great plot and great acting, this will make you look at the mafia in a different way. The cast includes Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon and Noel Fisher.
Chemical Hearts (2020), directed by Richard Tanne and based on Krystal Sutherland’s book, is a coming of age romantic tale that revolves around Austin Abrams, a high school senior, and Lili Reinhart, the enigmatic girl he falls in love with and the one with which he’ll have his first sexual experience. The narrative should’ve been better developed; in general, I find teenage characters appealing, but not much really captured my attention here.
William Eubank’s Underwater (2020) had a very interesting premise: a group of people trapped miles under the sea dealing with a new, never before seen life form that threatens their lives. The first minutes kept me at the edge of my seat, but then the plot holes and the lack of character development ruined the whole thing. Although I must say I loved the design of the monsters! The cast includes Kristen Stewart ("Equals") and Vincent Cassel.
Nocturne (2020), directed by Zu Quirke, is an interesting production with a good sense of suspense and some scenes that linger on the viewer long after the credits roll up. Sydney Sweeney is a girl obsessed with becoming the best pianist player and when she finds a satanic musical notebook with annotations on how to do it, horror breaks into her life. The end doesn’t round up things as good as it should, though.
The Invisible Man (2020) was disappointing, more than a horror movie it felt like a collection of pranks played on poor Elisabeth Moss, a fearful woman stalked by the invisible man, who is her deranged jealous boyfriend. Moss’ acting is the only redeeming thing about this.
Time’s but a veiled screen, whereon our silhouettes fatten then grow lean. Another year has come and gone in this on-line journal and that indubitably calls forth a proper measure of our cinematographic experiences. Now let us be about our grudging rounds. Speak well, oh reader, and listen even better, for we have enough wit yet left to surprise thee. It is proposed we should find positions for all motion pictures presented in the course of 2020, and with an agile mind and knowledge both of directors and actors, we trust thou shalt count our judgment amongst the very best. Thus must we testify... sufficient in our intimate thoughts that these estimations spilled delinquent out of our mouths are indeed of the noblest disposition.

Probablemente han pasado un par de años o más desde la última vez que vi tantas películas en un sólo mes. El 2020, la única película nueva que fui a ver en el cine fue Tenet, durante mi viaje a Milwaukee, todo lo demás vino de Netflix, HBOMax o Amazon Prime. Así que comencemos con mi favorita del mes: Uncle Frank (2020), dirigida por Alan Ball, es una película fascinante sobre cómo aceptar quiénes somos en realidad. La protagonista es Sophia Lillis, una estudiante universitaria que admira a su tío, Paul Bettany, un distinguido profesor universitario que tiene una vida exitosa en New York, lejos de su natal South Carolina; ella empieza a salir con Colton Ryan, y el muchacho intenta seducir a su tío. Inmediatamente después, el tío revela la verdad: es gay y tiene una relación con Peter Macdissi. De repente, la chica se da cuenta de por qué todos en South Carolina odian al tío, y una muerte en la familia los obliga a ir en coche hacia el sur. En el viaje, este improbable trío llega a conocerse y respetarse, pero una vez que llegan a su destino, la agresividad y discriminación de los muy religiosos sureños causarán que el bondadoso tío se derrumbe, incapaz de sobrellevar el odio de su familia. y los recuerdos de su primer amor homosexual; Las escenas entre los dos chicos de secundaria que experimentan con su sexualidad son inolvidables, todo gracias a Cole Doman (famoso por su papel como un adolescente gay en “Henry Gamble's Birthday Party”) y Michael Perez. Ball, un cineasta talentoso, hará reír a carcajadas a su público en una escena para que hacerlo llorar en la siguiente. ¡Sin duda una de las mejores películas del 2020!
El cineasta Aaron Sorkin reconstruye de manera impresionante los verdaderos acontecimientos de 1968 en The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020). El estudiante universitario Eddie Redmayne ((famoso por su papel como un joven bisexual en “Savage Grace”), junto con varios activistas políticos como Alex Sharp y Sacha Baron Cohen, están siendo juzgados por presunta conspiración cuando, en realidad, formaban parte de movimientos pacíficos que se opusieron con vehemencia a la guerra de Vietnam. Bien documentado y cuidadosamente redactado, Sorkin comparte con nosotros el sistema legal de pesadilla de los Estados Unidos en la administración Nixon. En el 2020 vimos todas las protestas sobre BLM y en esta película vemos protestas extrañamente similares e injusticias dolorosamente similares, lo que demuestra que en algunos aspectos las cosas no han cambiado tanto en el último medio siglo. El reparto estelar incluye a Joseph Gordon-Levitt (famoso por su papel como un adolescente gay en“Mysterious Skin”), Frank Langella ("Robot & Frank") y Michael Keaton ("Birdman").
Let Them All Talk (2020), dirigida por Steven Soderbergh, es una visión única del significado que asociamos a nuestras vidas y lo que hacemos para ganarnos la vida. Meryl Streep ("The Hours") es una escritora exitosísima que mira con desdén a cualquiera que no sea intelectual; y quien, en un crucero de lujo, tiene la oportunidad de reunirse con sus amigas de la universidad, dos mujeres que viven vidas ordinarias y tristes. La protagonista también invita a Lucas Hedges (famoso por su papel como un adolescente gay en "Lady Bird"), su amado sobrino, que secretamente la observa para darle información a los editores. Hay diálogos fantásticos y sobre todo una apasionante discusión sobre la alta literatura frente a la baja literatura, y sobre lo fácil o difícil que es crear ficción, todo ello impregnado de un conflicto muy sutil entre estas mujeres maduras. ¡La recomiendo ampliamente de todas maneras!
The Way Back (2020), de Gavin O'Connor, es un drama atípico que gira en torno a Ben Affleck ("Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"), un alcohólico funcional que vive una vida mundana, desprovista de toda esperanza y significado, hasta que es convocado a su antigua escuela secundaria, para entrenar al equipo de basket. Lidiar con su pasado como superestrella del basket y con su presente como un perdedor alcohólico resulta ser una tarea desafiante, pero es especialmente revelador ver cómo entrenar a un grupo de chiquillos será suficiente para que el protagonista se redima. Aquí hay algunas secuencias realmente sorprendentes, y la forma en que se retrata el alcoholismo es honesta y sin exageraciones. El elenco incluye a Ben Irving y Will Ropp.
Nat Faxon y Jim Rash combinan el humor negro con la ironía en Downhill (2020), un examen profundo y perturbador del matrimonio en general y de una pareja en particular: Julia Louis-Dreyfus y Will Ferrell, que pasan unos días en un resort de ski con sus hijos. Este remake de una producción sueca puede palidecer en comparación con la original, pero aún así me sorprendió. Cualquiera que haya experimentado problemas de relación o crisis matrimoniales podrá identificarse con esta pareja y con cómo su matrimonio se está desmoronando dramáticamente.
Capone (2020), de Josh Trank, es una cinta biográfica extraordinaria que se centra en los últimos años de Al Capone, magníficamente interpretado por Tom Hardy ("Dunkirk"). La neurosífilis ha transformado al gángster más prominente del mundo en un hombre que sufre demencia. En lugar de glorificar su pasado violento, Trank muestra un mundo en decadencia y un hombre que no sólo está perdiendo todos sus recuerdos, sino también el control sobre sus funciones corporales más básicas. Gran trama y gran actuación, Capone te hará ver a la mafia de una manera diferente. El reparto incluye a Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon y Noel Fisher.
Chemical Hearts (2020), dirigida por Richard Tanne y basada en el libro de Krystal Sutherland, es una historia romántica sobre los años finales de la adolescencia que gira en torno a Austin Abrams, un estudiante de secundaria de último año, y Lili Reinhart, la enigmática chica de la que se enamora y aquella con la que tendrá su primera experiencia sexual. La narrativa debería haberse desarrollado mejor; en general, los personajes adolescentes me llaman la atención, pero aquí hubo poco que me interesase.
Underwater (2020), de William Eubank, tenía una premisa muy interesante: un grupo de personas atrapadas millas bajo el mar lidiando con una nueva forma de vida nunca antes vista que amenaza sus vidas. Los primeros minutos me mantuvieron al filo de la silla, pero luego los agujeros de la trama y la falta de desarrollo de los personajes lo arruinaron todo. ¡Aunque debo decir que me encantó el diseño de los monstruos! El elenco incluye a Kristen Stewart ("Equals") y Vincent Cassel.
Nocturne (2020), dirigida por Zu Quirke, es una producción interesante con un buen sentido del suspenso y algunas escenas que perduran en el espectador mucho después de que se termine la cinta. Sydney Sweeney es una chica obsesionada con convertirse en la mejor pianista y cuando encuentra un cuaderno musical satánico con anotaciones sobre cómo hacerlo el horror irrumpe en su vida. Sin embargo, el final deja mucho que desear.
The Invisible Man (2020) fue decepcionante, más que una película de terror parece una colección de bromas que caen sobre la pobre Elisabeth Moss, una mujer temerosa acosada por el hombre invisible, que es su loco y celoso novio. La actuación de Moss es lo único que redime este bodrio.
El tiempo no es sino un delgado velo, sobre él nuestras siluetas se abultan o aligeran. Otro año va y viene en este atormentado blog y ello indudablemente merece que sopesemos apropiadamente nuestras experiencias cinematográficas. Que sea así, por ende, y dejadnos girar el torno y la rueda. Hablad, oh lectores, y escuchad bien, puesto que aún nos resta suficiente ingenio para sorprenderos. Se ha propuesto que debíamos encontrar posiciones para todas las imágenes en movimiento presentadas en el transcurso del 2020, y con mente ágil y conocimientos tanto en materia de directores como de actores, confiamos en que vosotros incluiréis nuestro juicio entre los mejores. Aqueste es nuestro testimonio... suficiente en nuestro pensamiento íntimo que estas apreciaciones, desparramadas al alimón, sean de la más noble disposición.

Since Uncle Frank is on Amazon Prime I'll probably watch that one. Capone was ok. It really sold the sadness of the end of his life where even as his mind and body failed everyone was primarily concerned with finding any money he'd hidden away.

DeleteYeah you should watch Uncle Frank. I saw Capone on Amazon Prime, it was free and then it wasn't.
DeleteTom Hardy is actually a load of old rubbish.
DeleteYes, he is.
