The Creator (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A knockout SF film from Gareth Edwards
Gareth Edwards’ latest film “The Creator” intrigued me and then engaged me much more than expected, and that is quite an achievement. Yes, its story premise and ideas are quite familiar to say the least, but the movie handles its … Continue reading
Flora and Son (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): As she learns music
John Carney’s new musical film “Flora and Son” tries to do two different things together, and the result is rather uneven in my inconsequential opinion. On one hand, we have an engaging drama about one accidental online relationship between two … Continue reading
Hatching (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Her issues get hatched…
It is difficult not to be impressed by the offbeat qualities of Finnish horror film “Hatching”. Besides several memorably gruesome moments of body horror to be admired for the considerable skills and efforts behind them, the movie mostly works mainly … Continue reading
The Blue Caftan (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A quiet triangle at one caftan store
“The Blue Caftan”, which was selected as the Moroccan submission to Best International Film Oscar in last year, is about three good people who happen to find themselves facing their matters of heart in one way or another in their … Continue reading
El Conde (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Pinochet the Vampire
Pablo Larraín’s new film “El Conde”, which was released on Netflix in last week not long after it was shown at the Venice International Film Festival, is a horror black comedy which depicts a notorious real-life Chilean dictator as a … Continue reading
Love at First Sight (2023) ☆☆(2/4): Statistically boring
Netflix film “Love at First Sight”, which was released a few days ago, is a joyless experience which made my certain several flight experiences relatively less boring in comparison. Yes, it was sometimes hard for me to endure for more … Continue reading
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The turtles are back
Animation film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” is probably the best theatrical movie version from the comic series created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. Considering how all those previous feature films were forgettable or dreadful, that is not … Continue reading
Afire (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Four young people in hot summer days
Christian Petzold’s new film “Afire” surprises me for being more humorous and playful compared to some of his more serious films such as “Phoenix” (2014) or “Undine” (2020). Mainly revolving around four different young people who happen to get involved … Continue reading
A Million Miles Away (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A migrant farmworker who became a NASA astronaut
“A Million Miles Away”, which was released on Amazon Prime in this week, is a rather tame presentation of one inspiring real-life story which deserves better in my inconsequential opinion. While the story itself is fascinating enough to hold my … Continue reading
Sitting in Bars with Cake (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A bit too bitter under its sweet surface
“Sitting in Bars with Cake”, which is currently available on Amazon Prime, leaves a rather uneven taste on me. While it attempts a sincere mix of comedy and drama, its titular subject is often curiously put aside as the movie … Continue reading
