Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

The Unbreakable Boy (2025)

Genre: Biographical / Drama
Directed by: Jon Gunn
Cast: Zachary Levi, Jacob Laval, Meghann Fahy
Time: 109 minutes

 


Scott and Teresa LeRette are a young couple with two children, the oldest of which is called Austin. Austin is autistic and he also suffers from a rare condition that makes his bones brittle. As his eldest son grows, Scott finds it harder to relate to him and to make him happy, which causes a lot of strain on the marriage and on the whole family.

This film is based on a book that relates the true story of a very special boy. It is a movie with lots of charm. It is touching. It is well delivered on screen. It is not without clichés, but it offers some good entertainment.
