Sick of Myself (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A morbid comedy of narcissism
Norwegian film “Sick of Myself” will often make you cringe and wince for good reasons. Here is one narcissistic lass willing to go all the way for getting more attention from others, and the movie follows her pathological behaviors with … Continue reading
Official Competition (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A director and her two difficult stars
“Official Competition” is simply hilarious as having a naughty fun with its one-joke story premise. Although it comes to lose some of its comic momentum during its last act where the mood becomes a bit more serious, the movie continues … Continue reading
The Big 4 (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Very silly – and very violent
Indonesian Netflix film “The Big 4”, which was released in last week, is a very violet action flick which is also quite silly and melodramatic at times. Although this extreme mix is mostly too uneven and shallow for me, the … Continue reading
White Noise (2022) ☆☆(2/4): A whimsical misfire from Noah Baumbach
Noah Baumbach’s latest film “White Noise”, which is released in South Korean theaters in this week and then will be on Netflix around the end of this month, does not click that well with me. The movie, which is based … Continue reading

Falling for Christmas (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An average Christmas product from Netflix
I am old enough to remember how Lindsay Lohan was a promising actress around the early 2000s. After “Mean Girls” (2004), it looked like she was ready to move onto the next step of her burgeoning acting career as shown … Continue reading
Falling for Figaro (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Following her dream
“Falling for Figaro” is a mild and pleasant comedy film which will probably not leave much impression on you when it is over. While it is buoyed a lot by the charming natural presence of its lead actress, it is … Continue reading
Ticket to Paradise (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Clooney and Roberts still have it, though
“Ticket to Paradise” made me a bit nostalgic during my viewing due to its two charismatic lead performers. Although more than 20 years have passed since they rose as major Hollywood star performers, George Clooney and Julia Roberts still shine … Continue reading
Anaïs in Love (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): In her irrepressible pursuit of romance
French film “Anaïs in Love” is a wryly delightful comedy about one irrepressible young woman who cannot help but drawn to more possibility of romance. You may roll your eyes as observing how headless she can be, but you will … Continue reading
Honest Candidate 2 (2022) ☆☆(2/4): She is back – with less laugh
Surprise is always crucial for comedy, but there is not much surprise for me in South Korean comedy film “Honest Candidate 2”, a sequel to the 2020 South Korean remake of Brazilian comedy film “The Honest Candidate” (2014). I could … Continue reading
