Unboxing Girl (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): The trouble with her crummy boss

Fire Island (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Pride and Prejudice on a gay village

Jacques Audiard’s latest film “Paris the 13th District” is a little romantic comedy film which lightly rolls from one point to another along with its several young characters. While the overall result is relatively milder compared to the gritty realistic … Continue reading
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
