Mini-Reviews - 2020 Edition

As we know, 2020 has been a horrible year everywhere for everyone and everything, including the beloved art of filmmaking. Countless delays, complete removals of the year’s schedule, and a total stop in filming production. It couldn’t be any worse for cinema. Movie theaters are struggling to survive, blockbusters are gradually moving to home viewing… 2020 is the year everyone hoped to never live through.

This article will be updated each time I add a new entry, as well as its date of publication, so these mini-reviews can be seen by every reader of mine.
