Two Seasons, Two Strangers (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Journeys and Days
Japanese filmmaker Shô Miyake’s latest film “Two Seasons, Two Strangers” is another modest but engaging work from its talented filmmaker. Consisting of the two different parts, the movie calmly and sensitively follows the journey of its wandering heroine, and its … Continue reading
