Oh Boy - Jan Ole Gerster
.* Disappointing. Slow. Without any climax, nor any proper evolution of the character.
Monsieur Verdoux - Chaplin
.** The view of Bazin is essential to appreciate the movie -which isn't that brilliant in itself. Verdoux being the opposite of Charlot (socially over-adapted when Charlot is under-adapted).
Limelight - Chaplin
.**
500 Days of Summer -
.*
Jobs -
.** Impressing performance of the actor. And it wasn't easy to play Jobs: inappropriate and antisocial behavior plus a proper smart guy.
The Spectacular Now -
.*
Frances Ha -
.*** Second time. In The Mission district of SF. As much pleasure as the first time. The moments of Frances traveling (Sacramento and Paris) gave me a better impression this time. And the better understanding made it funnier from time to time (the dinner and Frances' confession).
Crazy Stupid Love - Glenn Ficarra

Blue Jasmine - Allen
