Barbie (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Gerwig’s silly but delightful romp with Barbies
Greta Gerwig’s latest film “Barbie” is a silly but delightful romp proudly embracing its glitzy artificial qualities to the end. Yes, it surely feels contradictory at times as boldly wielding messages of female empowerment and liberation via those well-known brand … Continue reading

Lena Dunham’s latest film “Catherine Called Birdy”, which is currently available on Amazon Prime, is a delightful comic coming-of-age tale about one plucky young medieval girl. As its heroine cheerfully bounces from one funny episodic moment to another, the movie … Continue reading
Bros (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A raunchy but sweet R-rated gay romantic comedy
“Bros”, which is currently available on Netflix in South Korea, amuses me in more than one way. Here is a raunchy but ultimately sweet R-rated romantic comedy unabashedly wielding lots of gay stuffs and a bit of other sexual minority … Continue reading
Extreme Festival (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): One messy festival day

Where’d You Go, Bernadette (2019) ☆☆(2/4): Where’d it go wrong, I wonder
Since he drew my attention via “School of Rock” (2003) and “Before Sunset” (2004) when I was young and wild, Richard Linklater has seldom disappointed me during next 20 years, and that is why it is really depressing to see … Continue reading
Next Door (2022) ☆1/2(1.5/4): “Why don’t you just call the police first, you idiot?”
Yesterday, I went to my dentist uncle for my routine scaling and a bit of dental treatment, and I had to deal with the possibility of physical stress and pain although everything turned out to be fairly fine on the … Continue reading
Rye Lane (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): This eventful day of theirs
Raine Allen-Miller’s debut feature film “Rye Lane”, which is currently available on Disney+ in South Korea, is simply delightful from the beginning to the end. Yes, this is basically your typical “Boy-Meets-Girl” story on the surface, but the movie distinguishes … Continue reading
Renfield (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Now he gets sick of serving his master
“Renfield” is an amusing horror comedy film inspired by one of the most famous horror stories of all time: Bram Stocker’s “Dracula”. Instead of that infamous blood-sucking count, the movie focuses more on his daunted servant’s toxic relationship with the … Continue reading
