The Invisible Thread (Original title: Il filo invisibile)

The Invisible Thread (Original title: Il filo invisibile) - Movie Review

This is a story about a teenage boy making a documentary for school about his family. He has two dads and uses the film to show all the difficulties these two men faced throughout the last 20 years.

It is a sweet movie, in a sweet language - Italian.

Social Awareness

Fortunately, the LGBTQ community issues in many different areas are nowadays more often shown in shows and movies. So why is this one different? Because it is not about them, it is about the boy.

How would you feel if you could not be, legally speaking, son of both your parents? Why should technicalities define your family? This kid shows resilience to deal with so many things he shouldn’t have to.

The documentary for school is super sweet. Perhaps because of that, the movie looks so thoughtful. They were able to deal with a social complex theme with humor and naturalness.

Drama

The film is a drama, but you might forget that at some point because it has so many funny lines and hilarious scenes. That makes everything lighter because it could have been a very dark movie if you think it through.

We are talking about a rough divorce, full of accusations and grief. The petty vengeance associated with it is very ugly but, unfortunately, quite common. The pain in the adults and the kid is scarily relatable to many of us.

Yet, they did it in such a funny way that it’s delicious to watch. The best comic scene to me is in the hospital. When the old man in the next bed is observing and trying to follow the complications of that unusual family. His facial expressions are the best.

Light and funny movie

I liked the movie very much. It is light, funny, and worth watching. It talks about connection, love, and family in the real sense of the word. We all make mistakes, and we can solve them if we genuinely love each other.

It is a happy ending movie without feeling like a cliche. It makes you feel good.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting. ...

House of the Dragon: Season 2 - a Matter of Good Characters

As a fan of the original Game of Thrones , I approached the second season of House of the Dragon with high hopes. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boring compared to its predecessor. The intricate political drama and the rich character development that made Game of Thrones a global phenomenon seem to be lacking here. Still, the show features some compelling characters who hold my interest. Daemon Targaryen Daemon Targaryen remains one of the most intriguing characters in the series. Although his arc in this season isn't as strong as before, he still commands the screen with his charisma and unpredictability. Daemon's complex personality, oscillating between villainy and heroism, keeps viewers guessing his true intentions. His relationship with Rhaenyra and his struggle for power add depth to his character. He is, no doubt, a central figure in the unfolding drama. Aemond Targaryen Aemond steps into the spotlight in the second season, bringing a new level of intensity ...
