The August Virgin (2019) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): Her August in Madrid
Spanish film “The August Virgin”, which happens to be released in South Korean theaters in this week, simply strolls along with its heroine during her summer stay in Madrid, Spain. While it works to some degree as a likable character … Continue reading

Days (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Those quiet wordless moments
Tsai Ming-liang’s latest feature film “Days”, which won the jury Teddy Award when it was shown at the Berlin International Festival early in 2020, is slowly and patiently observes two different gay persons at its center. While it feels so … Continue reading
Zeros and Ones (2021) ☆☆(2/4): A murky and rambling work by Abel Ferrara

Deep Water (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A tantalizing comeback work from Adrian Lyne
“Deep Water”, which was released on Amazon Prime in last week, works best when it tantalizingly toys with the suspicion and mistrust surrounding a couple at the center of the story. It is a bit disappointing that the movie comes … Continue reading
Black Crab (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A risk mission on the ice
Swedish Netflix film “Black Crab”, which was released a few days ago, does not bring anything particularly new to its gritty genre territory, and that was rather disappointing to me when I watched it in one early morning. Although it … Continue reading
Windfall (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Three people stuck in one place
Netflix film “Windfall”, which was released on last Friday, is a little modest thriller which could be a solid entertainment if it simply trusted its three principle cast members. As well-qualified performers, they do their best with its rather thin … Continue reading
I Want You Back (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Your average rom-com product without much surprise
As your average romantic comedy, “I Want You Back”, which is currently available on Amazon Prime, has some comic substance and chemistry, but it does not have much surprise for us. Yes, it is already expected right from the very … Continue reading
