Turning Red (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Her big red secret
Animation feature film “Turning Red”, the latest work from Pixar Animation Studios which unfortunately goes straight to Disney+ instead of being released in theaters, is a delightful female coming-of-age tale peppered with distinctive cultural touches to be appreciated. Like several … Continue reading

After Yang (2021) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Farewell to Yang
I value good films which make me reflect on life and existence, and I am glad to report to you that Kogonada’s latest film “After Yang” is one of such cases. As a simple but undeniably sublime science fiction tale, … Continue reading
Downton Abbey (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): Downton Revisited
“Downton Abbey”, which continues what was supposedly ended at the end of the final season of the popular British TV drama series of the same name, is a fairly entertaining historical drama film to enjoy. For reviewing this film, I … Continue reading
House of Gucci (2021) ☆☆(2/4): A brand to kill for
Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci”, which is another new film from Scott in last year after “The Last Duel” (2021), is neither classy nor pulpy to my disappointment. While it is too superficial to be a serious drama about ambition … Continue reading

Mogul Mowgli (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): A Pakistani British rapper in double crisis
“Mogul Mowgli” is a curious piece of work which alternatively baffled and intrigued me. While this is essentially a familiar tale of personal/artistic crisis, it dynamically swings around many different elements including professional integrity and cultural identity, and the result … Continue reading
Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party (2015) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little Christian family birthday party
“Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party” is a modest but engaging drama mainly revolving around the family birthday party for its sexually repressed adolescent hero. While simply hanging around him and a bunch of Christian characters around him during one long day, … Continue reading

8-Bit Christmas (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A mixed Christmas tale
“8-Bit Christmas” is neither sweet nor naughty enough to generate some good laughs from me. While it wants to be one of those nostalgic childhood Christmas tales, it is rather too broad and cartoonish in terms of story and characters, … Continue reading
Mixtape (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A predictable but enjoyable mix
Netflix film “Mixtape”, which was released early in this month, is a predictable but enjoyable coming-of-age drama accompanied with a number of fairly good songs to listen. Right from the beginning, you will know what you will get, but the … Continue reading
Listen (2020) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Sincere but heavy-handed
“Listen”, which received several minor awards including the Special Jury Prize of the Venice Horizons Award when it was shown at the Venice International Film Festival in last year, is a sincere but ultimately disappointing melodrama. Although it sincerely wants … Continue reading
