Diva (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A diver on the brink of madness
South Korean film “Diva” is a little psychological thriller packed with conflicting emotions between two different young female athletes. Although sometimes feeling a bit too conventional and predictable as reminiscent of many other similar genre films ranging from “Repulsion” (1965) … Continue reading
Enola Holmes (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her game is afoot indeed
Netflix film “Enola Holmes”, which was released yesterday, has lots of fun with its feministic response to the tales of one of the most famous detective characters in the history. Mainly fueled by the vibrantly plucky performance from its exceptional … Continue reading
#Alive (2020) ☆☆(2/4): A mediocre South Korean zombie flick
Some of you probably know how much I have been getting tired of zombie movies. Except several notable cases such as “28 Days Later…” (2002) or “Zombieland” (2009), most of those zombie flicks did not entertain or terrify me much … Continue reading
Feels Good Man (2020) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A cartoon character gone out of control
Documentary film “Feels Good Man”, which won the US Documentary Special Jury Award for Emerging Filmmaker, presents the cautionary tale of a sincere artistic creation gone out of control. When its creator introduced it to the world outside, it was … Continue reading
The Hunt (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Liberal elites hunting deplorable conservatives
Craig Zobel’s new film “The Hunt” is a mildly amusing horror comedy about a bunch of liberal elites hunting deplorable conservatives. While it looks promising as rapidly throwing a series of nice surprises during its first act, it comes to … Continue reading
Mulan (2020) ☆☆(2/4): Stick to the animation version, please
“Mulan”, the live action remake version of the 1998 Disney animation film of the same name, is a pointless and unnecessary product which dissatisfies me a lot for many reasons. Although it is not incompetent at all in technical aspects … Continue reading
AKA Jane Roe (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): The last words from Jane Roe
Documentary film “AKA Jane Roe” listens to a woman who was at the center of a women’s issue which is still very sensitive in the American society even at present. Through her and several people associated with in one way … Continue reading
The Woman Who Ran (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A three-act female comedy by Hong Sang-soo
Hong Sang-soo’s new film “The Woman Who Ran”, which won the Silver Bear award for Best Director at the Berlin International Film Festival early in this year, is a breezy three-act comedy mainly focusing on the interactions amidst its female … Continue reading
The Terrorizers (1986) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Coincidence followed by tension
Taiwanese filmmaker Edward Yang’s “The Terrorizers”, which is currently being in shown in South Korean theaters, is a haunting urban drama which is subtle and deceptive in its gradual accumulation of anxiety and tension around its main characters. Because I … Continue reading
The Devil All the Time (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The Devil Is Never Gone
Netflix movie “The Devil All the Time”, which was released on this Wednesday, feels rather rote and shallow despite all those interesting elements mixed into its decidedly grim and lurid narrative. Although I was not bored at all during its … Continue reading
