Fatherhood (2021) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): It is hard to be a single daddy….
Netflix film “Fatherhood”, which was released on last Friday, somehow feels like an artificial product instead of being a genuine realistic human tale about the difficulties of raising a kid alone. While there are some sincere moments to be appreciated … Continue reading
Summer Is the Coldest Season (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): That troubled summer of hers
Chinese film “Summer is the Coldest Season” is a dry but interesting coming-of-age drama about one adolescent girl struggling with her anger and grief. As she deliberately gets herself involved with a person responsible for that, the movie calmly and … Continue reading
A Quiet Place Part II (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): They must be quiet as before
“A Quiet Place Part II” is a nice sequel which expands its story and characters a bit for whatever may come next. Although it is understandably not that fresh mainly because of what its predecessor so entertainingly achieved on the … Continue reading

Skater Girl (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): When skateboarding comes into her rural town
Netflix film “Skater Girl”, which was released on last Friday, is a likable coming-of-age story about one young ordinary Indian girl who becomes a little more active via skateboarding. While it does not have much surprise as rolling from one … Continue reading
Akilla’s Escape (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A cycle of violence he wants to escape
“Akilla’s Escape” frustrated me more than once during my viewing. The movie tries to explore the cycle of violence over generations via two connected stories, but it is glaringly deficient in terms of storytelling and characterization in addition to often … Continue reading
Miss Juneteenth (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): She lives and dreams through her daughter
“Miss Juneteenth” is a plain but heartfelt drama about a hard-working mother who lives and dreams through her daughter. While this is surely a familiar type of tale to you especially you are a seasoned moviegoer like me, the movie … Continue reading
The Amusement Park (2019) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): A little hidden masterwork by George A. Romero
Here’s what happened. In 1973, George A. Romero, who had just made “Season of the Witch” (1972) and was about to make “The Crazies” (1973) at that time, was hired to make a little educational film about elder abuse, and … Continue reading
Jakob’s Wife (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): The preacher’s bloody-thirsty wife
“Jakob’s Wife” is a little horror comedy film about an ordinary preacher’s wife who suddenly finds herself becoming blood-thirsty under a certain insidious evil influence. While it is not particularly scary as a horror movie, the movie still works as … Continue reading
Wrath of Man (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Gritty and remorseless to say the least
Guy Ritchie’s latest work “Wrath of Man” is gritty and remorseless to say the least. While this is surely your average revenge action flick about a taciturn tough guy with a particular set of skills, it is at least packaged … Continue reading
