Wicked Little Letters (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little problem in their town
“Wicked Little Letters” is a lightweight comedy film coupled with a bit of mystery. While it is not that difficult for us to guess the answer to the mystery inside the story even before its half point, the movie remains … Continue reading
A Traveler’s Needs (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Hong and Huppert meet again
Isabelle Huppert, who recently had her 71st birthday in last month, is one of the most interesting movie actresses I have ever seen. With that consistently distinctive persona of hers, she has steadily fascinated and impressed us for more than … Continue reading
Yannick (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): One nutty interrupter
French film “Yannick” is a little one-joke comedy film which may often amuse you with the increasingly absurd situation surrounding its main characters. Despite its rather short running time (67 minutes), the movie does as much as intended without wasting … Continue reading
Laroy, Texas (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little comic noir set in Texas
“Laroy, Texas” is a little comic noir which reminds us again of that old genre lesson: the world always wins no matter how much you try to win by any means necessary. Clearly reminiscent of its senior noir films such … Continue reading
Late Night with the Devil (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): When the devil was invited on air
“Late Night with the Devil” brings some fresh satiric spin to its familiar genre territory, and I like that. Yes, this is basically another your average found footage horror film, but it is a skillful genre product packaged with some … Continue reading
Shortcomings (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): This one disagreeable Asian American lad
“Shortcomings”, which recently came to Netflix in South Korea, is often amusing for how it tackles the representation of Asian Americans. As a matter of fact, the movie opens with the screening of a popular flick not so different from … Continue reading
Música (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Distracted but talented anyway
“Música”, which is currently available on Amazon Prime, gave me a rather mixed impression. The movie is often likable with a series of whimsically musical moments, but it is also quite distracting at times as trying too many things within … Continue reading
La Chimera (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Another charming work from Alice Rohrwacher
It took some time for me to get what and how Alice Rohrwacher’s latest film “La Chimera” is about. At first, the movie requires some patience for slowly getting into its rather aimless low-key mood, but I got more charmed … Continue reading
Sanctuary (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Their kinky fun and games
“Sanctuary”, which is currently available on Netflix in South Korea, is a kinky two-hander which cheerfully goes up and down along with its two main characters. As these two figures pull or push each other within its limited main background, … Continue reading
What’s Love Got to Do with It? (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): So it goes like that
“What’s Love Got to Do with It”, which is incidentally not associated with the 1993 Tina Turner biopic, is as predictable as your typical romantic comedy. Right from when its two lead characters appear together at the beginning of the … Continue reading
