Handling the Undead (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Facing an inexplicable happening
Norwegian film “Handling the Undead” is a dry and detached genre piece simply going all the way for its unsettling mood. Without explaining a lot about its story premise, the movie calmly and distantly observes its several main characters facing … Continue reading
A Different Man (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A humorously ironic comedy on identity and appearance.
“A Different Man”, which won the Best Picture award at the Gotham Awards ceremony a few months ago, is often quite amusing as cheerfully exploring the issues of identity and appearance. After patiently building up its comic momentum during the … Continue reading

Ali Abbasi’s latest film “The Apprentice” looks into the early years of one deplorable figure who has been exerting toxic influences over not only the American society but also the whole world during last several years. While it surely drew … Continue reading
Ripples (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): The ripples in her mind
Japanese film “Ripples”, which happens to be released in South Korean theaters in this week, is a distant but occasionally amusing character study to observe. Although you may not like its rather neurotic heroine that much, you will also observe … Continue reading
A Real Pain (2024) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): A tour about pain
“A Real Pain” really amused and touched me more than once, and that is quite an achievement in my trivial opinion. While it initially seems fairly simple as a familiar buddy road comedy-drama film, the movie is often surprisingly funny … Continue reading
Nosferatu (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A grim and intense remake
Robert Eggers’ new film “Nosferatu” is something he has been destined to make. After all, his three previous films, “The Witch” (2015), “The Lighthouse” (2019), and “The Northman” (2022), are all intensely gothic in one way or another, and his … Continue reading
Let the Right One In (2008) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A vampire girl on the next door
Is there any vampire movie as sad and poignant as the 2008 Swedish film “Let the Right One In”? This is a hauntingly chilly romance horror tale of loneliness and desperation, and I am glad to report to you that … Continue reading
My Best, Your Least (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her pregnant student
South Korean film “My Best, Your Least” handles its rather sensitive social subject with more sensitivity and thoughtfulness than I expected, and I appreciate that. Mainly revolving around a complex teacher and student relationship, the movie powerfully delivers its important … Continue reading
Efterskole, Going to the Wonderland Korea (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Their freedom to look to the side
