A Confucian Confusion (1994) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A cheerful confusion

Trap (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): He gets trapped…

“The Watchers” looks promising with an interesting story promise shrouded in a good mood and background. As the nervous score by Abel Korzeniowski is swirling on the soundtrack with the heroine going to some very remote area, we can clearly … Continue reading

His Three Daughters (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): As they wait for their father’s death
Netflix film “His Three Daughters”, which was released a few days ago, trusts its main cast members for going up and down within its modest but intense chamber family drama, and I enjoyed that a lot. As its three main … Continue reading
Hundreds of Beavers (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The Trouble with Beavers
“Hundreds of Beavers” is a little quirky independent film which never stopped amusing or surprising me. Steadily building up its comic momentum along its hilariously loony narrative, the movie provides a series of very funny and creative moments to be … Continue reading
