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
BigBug (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Another whimsical work from Jean-Pierre Jeunet
A few days ago, I was rather amused to see that many people remember Sam Raimi for a number of recent horror flicks produced by him instead of the Evil Dead trilogy or “Drag Me to Hell” (2009), and now … Continue reading
Lucky Grandma (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Can she really be lucky?
“Lucky Grandma” is a little comedy film which also works as an engaging mix of crime thriller and character drama. Mainly revolving around one cantankerous old Chinese lady, the movie delves into its distinctive cultural background as humorously going up … Continue reading
Licorice Pizza (2021) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A charming coming-of-age tale a la Paul Thomas Anderson
Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film “Licorice Pizza”, which recently received 3 Oscar nominations including the one for Best Picture, is his sweetest work since “Punch-Drunk Love” (2002). At first, the movie seems to be just another familiar mix of coming-of-age … Continue reading
The Good Boss (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A mild Spanish social satire starring Javier Bardem
Spanish film “The Good Boss”, which was selected as the Spain’s entry to Best International Film Oscar instead of Pedro Almodóvar’s “Parallel Mothers” (2021), is a mild social satire which could be tauter and edgier for more laughs. Although it … Continue reading
The Climb (2019) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Scenes from a friendship
“The Climb” is a small but hilarious comedy film about the bumpy friendship between its two ordinary main characters. As they alternatively push and pull each other over the story, the movie gives us a number of wonderful comic moments … Continue reading
French Exit (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Almost penniless in Paris
“French Exit” has some charm and spirit to be appreciated despite being a bit too flawed in my inconsequential opinion. While it is buoyed to some degree by its delightful lead performance, the movie often stumbles and meanders mainly due … Continue reading
