- RT @d_the_bi: 니가 말하는 그 ‘포괄적 차별 금지’가 두루뭉술하게 차별하면 안된다는 얘기라면 이미 기존 헌법에도 있음. 대체 개헌안에 이런 저런 세분화된 분류를 넣는 이유가 뭐라고 생각함? 4 hours ago
- RT @psychokinesis23: 그냥 시대가 이렇다. 페미니즘 자체에 대한 집착과 환상을 버리고 이제 이름없는 정확한 연대를 통해 모든 사람의 실존에 보다 큰 힘이 되어줄 수 밖에... 4 hours ago
- RT @psychokinesis23: 어쩔 수 없다. 레즈비언을 제외한 퀴어들은 트위터에서 더욱 위태로워졌고 페미니즘과의 거리두기를 통해 본인들의 안전을 최우선으로 지켜야 할 시기다. 정체성을 용서치 않는 다수와 싸워 이기기는 어려운 일이니까. 4 hours ago
- RT @BrokebackDaddy: 취약하고 불안정해보이는 사람을 보면 일단 놀리고 괴롭히거나 아니면 꼬드겨서 자기 이익을 위해 이용하고 버리거나 뭐 그런 생각 밖에 안 들어요? 다른 사람이랑 같이 사는 게 가능해요? 4 hours ago

Go Back (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): In front of abuse and disregard
South Korean film “Go Back” seems to be a mystery drama on the surface but then turns out to be less about what exactly happened. While we come to have a pretty good idea on that even before its first … Continue reading
Jungleland (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Two brothers and a girl on the road
“Jungleland” is a simple but engaging story revolving around the relationship of two very different brothers. Right from its first few minutes, you can easily discern where their story is heading, and the story will not surprise you much, but … Continue reading
I Care a Lot (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Another deliciously devious turn by Rosamund Pike
The heroine of “I Care a Lot”, which is released in South Korean theaters on this Friday instead of being released on Netflix or Amazon Prime in several other countries including US, is a nasty piece of work. As an … Continue reading
The Little Things (2020) ☆☆(2/4): A mediocre police procedural with wasted talents
“The Little Things” is a bland and trite police procedural which disappoints us a lot because of several reasons. While it is mostly slick and competent on the surface, its story is another run-of-the-mill noir drama about flawed detective heroes, … Continue reading
Dreamland (2019) ☆☆(2/4): And then he meets this dangerous woman…
“Dreamland”, which had a premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2019 but only got released in US around the end of last year, is a lackadaisical crime period drama which does not break no particular ground in its … Continue reading
The White Tiger (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): He’s ready to serve….
Ramin Bahrani’s new film “The White Tiger”, which was released on Netflix in last week, is an unnerving social class drama about one opportunistic hero ready to do anything for getting away from his very poor background. As slowly building … Continue reading
Voice of Silence (2020) ☆☆(2/4): Voice of incompetence
What an inane and messy bore South Korean film “Voice of Silence” is. Often dreary and unpleasant in its casual depiction of human evil and violence, the movie attempts to be not only an absurd crime noir drama but also … Continue reading
A Sun (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Ordinary People
Taiwanese film “A Sun”, which was selected as Taiwan’s entry for the Best International Feature Film Oscar in this year, is a sprawling family drama with many ups and downs throughout its slow but engaging narrative. Although some of its … Continue reading
I’m Your Woman (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): She is on her own now – with a baby
“I’m Your Woman”, which was released on Amazon Prime a few weeks ago, is an interesting genre variation to be savored for a number of good reasons. The movie may not surprise you much on the whole as dryly and … Continue reading
Antigone (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): A provocative modern adaptation of one classic tragedy
Canadian film “Antigone”, which won the Toronto International Film Festival Award for Best Canadian Film in last year, was an interesting experience for me in more than one aspect. While I sometime felt frustrated with its young heroine’s inexorable stubbornness, … Continue reading
