Moxie (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Her little high school rebellion
Netflix movie “Moxie”, which was released a few days ago, is a likable high school comedy drama which tries to juggle a little too many things together. While it works as a nice coming-of-age tale of female empowerment to some … Continue reading
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A colorful quest for trust and unity
Disney animation feature film “Raya and the Last Dragon”, which was supposed to be released around the end of the last year but then gets released in this month instead due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, is charming and exuberant … Continue reading
Minari (2020) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A South Korean immigrant family in the middle of Arkansas
“Minari”, whose title means water dropwort in Korean, is a simple but profoundly intimate piece of work to remember. While it is quite specific in terms of background and characters, it also works as a universal American immigrant family drama … Continue reading
Go Back (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): In front of abuse and disregard
South Korean film “Go Back” seems to be a mystery drama on the surface but then turns out to be less about what exactly happened. While we come to have a pretty good idea on that even before its first … Continue reading
Nomadland (2020) ☆☆☆☆(4/4): A certain American lifestyle
“Nomadland”, which won the Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival and then the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in last September, is simply extraordinary in its seemingly plain and simple presentation of a certain … Continue reading
Jungleland (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Two brothers and a girl on the road
“Jungleland” is a simple but engaging story revolving around the relationship of two very different brothers. Right from its first few minutes, you can easily discern where their story is heading, and the story will not surprise you much, but … Continue reading
Black Light (2020) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A truth beyond their reach
South Korean independent film “Black Light” is a seemingly plain but undeniably compelling mystery melodrama, which revolves around the truth beyond the reach of everyone involved with a very complicated circumstance in one way or another. As its three different … Continue reading
The Father (2020) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): In a state of fading mind
“The Father” is a somber but harrowing chamber drama which calmly and sensitively depicts that confusing and devastating psychological condition of dementia. As its increasingly non-linear narrative is unfolded inside its small background, the movie gives us some acute insight … Continue reading
I Care a Lot (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Another deliciously devious turn by Rosamund Pike
The heroine of “I Care a Lot”, which is released in South Korean theaters on this Friday instead of being released on Netflix or Amazon Prime in several other countries including US, is a nasty piece of work. As an … Continue reading
The Little Things (2020) ☆☆(2/4): A mediocre police procedural with wasted talents
“The Little Things” is a bland and trite police procedural which disappoints us a lot because of several reasons. While it is mostly slick and competent on the surface, its story is another run-of-the-mill noir drama about flawed detective heroes, … Continue reading
