A Short Hike (2019)

Very cute game. It’s such a beautiful representation of a child’s summer vacation and the adventures that happen there. When she sums up her day at the end, that’s the cutest thing ever.

It’s a masterclass game as well. I don’t usually choose hard modes if I get away with something that’s a comfortable challenge, and this was such a sweet spot: never needed a walkthrough but sometimes I felt successful when solving a puzzle or doing a platforming bit. It’s so rewarding to play this game.

Flow (2024)

It was a rather unique and nice journey. Coming out of the cinema we had somewhat different ideas about the setting, but that’s exactly what makes this feel fresh: it’s up for interpretations and metaphors, and it’s interesting to discuss the different ideas.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Stunning in terms of visuals and theme. A few things that I feel worthy to highlight:

  • The character, set and costume designs are remarkable.
  • The world behind the movie is something that I am totally blown away by. I want to know so much more than I had the chance to catch in the flick.
  • Charlize Theron, obviously. Note: if you like to see her act grim and dark don’t miss out on Snow White and the Huntsman, which may be a much better movie than you might expect.
  • The voices are acted and added in a sterile and distanced manner, which produces an absolutely unique atmosphere. Like the conversations were not happening in place but layered over the story like some kind of narration.
  • The music was great, but in a few occasions the pathos was over the top and out of context. Still it’s something great to listen to even on its own right.
  • And the guy with the guitar! OMG. Every single appearance made me grin like an idiot.

I gathered quite a few poster art (official and fan-made) below.
