High Life (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A challenging SF film from Claire Denis
Claire Denis’ new movie “High Life” is a challenging experience which will certainly confound many of you for good reasons. I must confess that I am still wondering whether I really understand everything in the film, but I sort … Continue reading
Arctic (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): His desperate Arctic journey for survival
During its first act, “Arctic” impressed me a lot with vividly cold and harsh moments of desperation and solitude which actually made me curious about how they were made, and that is why it is a shame that the movie … Continue reading
The Kid Who Would Be King (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Their little Arthurian adventure
“The Kid Who Would Be King” is a little fantasy adventure movie willingly and unabashedly going for unadulterated fun and excitement. Although it is rather familiar and predictable as a modern variation of the Arthurian legend, the movie lively and … Continue reading

Someone Great (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Three young ladies’ eventful day
Netflix film “Someone Great”, which was released a few days ago, is a modestly enjoyable comedy film about one eventful day of three young ladies in New York City. While it is predictable and conventional in many aspects, the movie … Continue reading
Glass (2019) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): A decidedly lukewarm superhero movie
“Glass”, which is supposed to be the concluding chapter for director/writer M. Night Shyamalan’s “Unbreakable” (2000) and “Split” (2016), is a decidedly lukewarm superhero movie which is fascinating enough to talk about but is not good enough to recommend. Although … Continue reading
A Vigilante (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A female avenger against domestic violence
“A Vigilante” is a small but fascinating drama about one troubled woman who chooses a rather drastic way of fighting against domestic violence. While firmly sticking to its austere attitude, the movie works as a restrained but intense character study … Continue reading
