The Little Stranger (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): He’s back to that old place…
“The Little Stranger” is a little gothic drama film shrouded in nervous ambiguity. Because it is adamantly unclear about what is exactly going on around its main characters, you may be frustrated and then disappointed with its rather inconclusive ending, … Continue reading
Default (2018) ☆☆☆ (3/4): A broad look into the South Korean financial crisis in 1997
South Korean film “Default” intends to give us a broad look into the South Korean financial crisis in 1997, and it did a fairly good job despite its several weak elements. While occasionally hampered by its rather heavy-handed storytelling and … Continue reading
The Wife (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): Beside her famous husband
The heroine of “The Wife” is usually quiet and reserved, but her seemingly detached façade speaks volume as we get to know more about her and her marital relationship. While she continues to occupy her small place besides her famous … Continue reading
Young-ju (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): A simple but bleak drama about guilt and torment
South Korean film “Young-ju” is a simple but bleak drama about guilt and torment. Although there are several moments which are quite difficult to watch for their considerable emotional intensity, the movie steadily engages us as closely observing its main … Continue reading
Puzzle (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Reaching out through puzzle
“Puzzle” is a little likable movie about an accidental change coming into its heroine’s plain domestic life. While she has been quite content with her rather isolated daily life, something draws her attention one day, and that leads to her … Continue reading
The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): At a conversion center
“The Miseducation of Cameron Post”, which won the Grand Jury Prize for US Drama at the Sundance Film Festival early in this year, is about a young sexually confused girl who happens to be pushed into a bad place cruelly … Continue reading
Thunder Road (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A police officer with issues
“Thunder Road” is a small character comedy drama film which draws your interest right from its opening scene, which is the best part of the movie in my inconsequential opinion. Although the rest of the movie is less memorable in … Continue reading
The Long Dumb Road (2018) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): Another familiar road trip movie
As watching “The Long Dumb Road”, I was reminded of several other road movies released during this year. At first, we watched Ed Harris, Jason Sudeikis, and Elizabeth Olsen journeying together in “Kodachrome” (2017), and then we saw Vera Farmiga, … Continue reading
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): It will rock you – sporadically
While I do not know much about Queen, a famous British rock band active during the 1970-80s, I can confidently tell you as your average amateur movie critic that “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a rather forgettable experience on the whole. Sure, … Continue reading
