Merely Known as Something Else (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Deliberately distant and elusive
South Korean independent film “Merely Known as Something Else” is deliberately distant and elusive. As freely juggling several different characters on its non-linear narrative gradually revolving around a certain vague figure, the movie frequently confuses and baffles us from the … Continue reading
Little Trouble Girls (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): The sexual awakening of a Catholic girl
“Little Trouble Girls”, which was the official submission of Slovenia to Best International Film Oscar in last year, follows the gradual sexual awakening of one introverted adolescent Catholic girl. It is apparent from the beginning that she does not know … Continue reading

Come Closer (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): This deeply troubled young woman
Israeli film “Come Closer” is about the serious emotional confusion of one deeply troubled young woman who is also often quite unpleasant for her toxic self-absorbed behaviors. Although the movie is rather dissatisfying as stumbling more than once during its … Continue reading

Michael (2026) ☆☆(2/4): Bland, empty, and bad
“Michael”, a biography drama film on the life and career of Michael Jackson, works whenever it goes all the way for presenting Jackson’s music. If you simply want to enjoy his music, the movie will not disappoint you at all … Continue reading
Commission (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Drawing for murder
South Korean independent film “Commission” wants to explore the dark sides of artistic creation, and it succeeds to some degree. I must say that I have no idea on how realistic it actually is in the depiction of the professional … Continue reading

The Nonsense (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Can she believe?
South Korean independent film “The Nonsense” is a little but effective mix between character drama and psychological thriller which will often unnerve you with its disturbingly ambiguous moments. Even in the end, you may not be entirely sure about everything … Continue reading
2035: The Green Light (2025) ☆☆(2/4): An uneven mix between mockumentary and found footage horror
South Korean independent film “2035: The Green Light” intrigued me at first and then frustrated me a lot later. At first, it comes to us as a rather amusing mockumentary comedy about the sudden unification of South and North Korea … Continue reading
