Lion's Den

Albert Bates

If Andrea Arnold were to direct Orange is the New Black... Hard hitting, as you would expect from any prison drama, but Trapero has a fundamental optimism which uplifts.

Don't Get Nasty Brother

First movie i watch directed by Trapero, i wasn't expecting much, but i have to admit is very unsettling in some parts, but in a good way. Before the final act the movie drags a little and although the ending is very rewarding is filmed in way that makes it to be almost anti-climatic. Good Watch.

I had big expectations of loving this film, but actually feel pretty ambivalent about it now. Maybe I was expecting a big social comment showpiece, and it wasn't really. Aesthetically sickly, especially in the prison scenes - I'm not saying this is a bad thing - it has the visual appearance of a headache or hangover at times. Maybe because she is in the shadow of an event she can't ever fully comprehend.

Beautifully shot. Beautifully acted. The film loses a bit of focus in the third Act and some of the relationships needed more hashing out; however an over all a refreshing film worth watching.

The lioness has rejoined her cub and all is right in the jungle. Don't mess with my cub.

Paolo Simeone

Inizio bomba, poi forse me lo sono dormito un po', ma comunque un ottimo film.

unsentimental look at how a ruined life doesn't need to find its way back to the tracks to be a good one

Superfrog

It is not a masterpiece but I really enjoyed the characters and their interaction.
