Review of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) by Cecilia85 — 20 Apr 2022

This movie touched me inexpressibly. Definitely my favorite one not just in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, but in the entire HP world (and I say it as a big HP fan)! It leaves you with something in your heart when you go out from the cinema.

It is at the same time adventurous and deeply emotional, with powerful scenes, beautiful settings, funny moments, wonderful characters, but, first of all, a strong focus on the depths of human heart and the struggles which can take place in it.

It is a movie about the choice between what we desire and what we have to do. The tormented love story between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, lying at the core of the movie, is poetic and heartbreaking, with the taste of a Greek tragedy.

Jude Law and Mad Mikelsen are gigantic in their performances and have an incredibile chemistry together.They seem to have been born to play these two unhappy, torn lovers/foes. Watched the movie twice and I will soon watch it a third time.

I warmly raccomend it! Don't let you be dissuaded by negative critics and Rowling haters. Go and watch this movie...
