7 Days (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Matched and then stuck together
“7 Days”, which won the Best First Feature award at the Film Independent Spirit Awards a few months ago, is a lightweight human comedy about two very different people matched and then stuck together for several days. As one of … Continue reading
Zombie Crush in Heyri (2020) ☆☆(2/4): Girls’ tepid fun with zombies
South Korean independent film “Zombie Crush in Heyri” is too mild as a zombie flick while also being not so funny as a comedy film. While I appreciate its earnest attempt to mix two very different genre elements to some … Continue reading
Crush (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A likable high school queer comedy film
“Crush” reminds me of how things seem to have changed these days. As a mainstream American high school queer comedy film, it proudly and cheerfully depicts its main characters’ sexuality without any shame or hesitation, and I appreciate that a … Continue reading

The Lost City (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A novelist’s unexpected adventure
“The Lost City” gives us as much as we expected from its trailer. Clearly influenced by Robert Zemeckis’ “Romancing the Stone” (1984), the movie tries a little comic adventure tale while playing a bit with its genre conventions, and the … Continue reading
Moonshot (2022) ☆☆(2/4): As they’re heading to Mars
My demand is not that high when I watch any film which happens to draw my interest, but “Moonshot”, which was released on HBO Max in last week, let me down in more than one way. As a romantic comedy, … Continue reading

Great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman once said that human face is the most fascinating subject possible for the camera. That is what came to my mind while I was watching Finnish film “The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to … Continue reading

Marry Me (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her accidental husband
Right from when I watched its trailer a few months ago, I knew what I would get from “Marry Me”, which was released in South Korean theaters in last week. Like another recent romantic comedy film “I Want You Back” … Continue reading
I Want You Back (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Your average rom-com product without much surprise
As your average romantic comedy, “I Want You Back”, which is currently available on Amazon Prime, has some comic substance and chemistry, but it does not have much surprise for us. Yes, it is already expected right from the very … Continue reading
Sophie’s World (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Four days in Bukchon
South Korean independent film “Sophie’s World” reminds me again of how influential Hong Sang-Soo’s films have been during last two decades. Although it is not made by or associated with Hong, its several notable aspects including its very plain title … Continue reading
Together Together (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little witty comedy about surrogate mother
I have some strong opinions on the gender ethical issues involved with surrogate mother, but I enjoyed a number of witty comic moments in “Together Together”. While never overlooking the complex nature of its two main characters’ relationship, this little … Continue reading
