After the Storm (2016) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Gathered by the storm
I still marvel at how effortlessly intimate and humane the works of Hirokazu Kore-eda are. Many of his family dramas such as “Still Walking” (2008) and “Like Father, Like Son” (2013) are mostly somber and quiet on the surface, but … Continue reading
The End of the Tour (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4) : An Interview between two Davids
First, I have to admit in advance that I am not very familiar with two real-life authors whose meeting inspired “The End of the Tour”. Although his second novel “Infinite Jest” was cited by Times as one of the 100 … Continue reading

In the House (2012) ☆☆☆(3/4) : On seductive/dangerous writing
Both frank and deceptive about what it is going to do, “In the House” simultaneously presents two plots and then observes how they roll together – and how they come to manipulate each other. The movie has a dark fun … Continue reading

The Woman in the Fifth (2011) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A writer blocked in ambiguous melancholy
