Woman at War (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her comically defiant activism
“Woman at War”, which was selected as the Icelandic entry for Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in last year, is a dry black comedy film packed with whimsical touches to delight us. While steadily and seriously maintaining its deadpan attitude … Continue reading
Plus One (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): As they go through weddings
“Plus One” did not surprise me much, but it did not bore me at least. Yes, this is another typical romantic comedy film about two different young people who gradually come to realize that they are really in love with … Continue reading
Toy Story 4 (2019) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Another closure for Woody and his friends
“Toy Story 4”, the latest animation feature film from Pixar Animation Studios, is another entertaining entry of the endearing franchise which has lasted for more than 20 years. While its existence seems rather redundant at first due to that nearly … Continue reading
Gloria Bell (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): As she reaches for more love and happiness
They say you should not try to fix it if it is not broken, and that saying is applied well to Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio’s new film “Gloria Bell”, which is the American version of his previous film “Gloria” (2013). … Continue reading
Always Be My Maybe (2019) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): When they meet again
“Always Be My Maybe”, which was released on Netflix this Friday, is a conventional romantic film which could be a bit better in my trivial opinion. Although it is equipped with two engaging lead performers to watch, it occasionally feels … Continue reading
Parasite (2019) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): An absurd family comedy by Bong Joon-ho
Bong Joon-ho’s latest film “Parasite’, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in last month while also incidentally distinguishing itself as the first South Korean film to receive the award, is a funny and enthralling genre piece … Continue reading
Non-Fiction (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A talky French comedy from Olivier Assayas
I do not mind watching smart, sophisticated people talking about serious subjects on the screen. Although I must confess that it took some time for getting accustomed to the works of Eric Rohmer such as “Pauline at the Beach” (1983), … Continue reading
Miss & Mrs. Cops (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A good start for two female cops
At first, I did not have much expectation on South Korean comedy film “Miss & Mrs. Cops”, which did not look that fresh or interesting to me when I came across its trailer a few weeks ago. However, after hearing … Continue reading
To Dust (2018) ☆☆☆(3/4): A deadpan Jewish comedy on body decomposition
As watching “To Dust”, a little comedy film which won the Narrative Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival in last year, I was reminded of that memorable quote from Errol Morris’ great documentary “Gates of Heaven” (1978): “Death is … Continue reading
