Aftersun (2022) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): That summer with her father
There is always some distance between parents and their children, and “Aftersun” sensitively illustrates the growing distance between the father and daughter at the center of its intimate character drama. Nothing much seems to happen on the surface, and they … Continue reading
Beast (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Idris Elba vs. Lion
Baltasar Kormákur’s new film “Beast” is a simple but fairly competent survival thriller drama. Although I wish it had a bit more fun and excitement besides having more substance in terms of story and character, the movie has some tense … Continue reading
Don’t Make Me Go (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A road trip with her dad
“Don’t Make Me Go”, which was released on Amazon Prime in last week, is predictably sappy but fairly engaging before taking a sudden distracting left turn in the last act. While I will not go into details here for not … Continue reading
Cassiopeia (2022) ☆☆(2/4): A disappointingly sappy Alzheimer drama
I do not mind those “disease of the week” flicks as long as they are engaging enough for me, but South Korean film “Cassiopeia” does not do its job that well as your average disease of the week movie. While … Continue reading

Stillwater (2021) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): An American dad stuck in Marseilles
Tom McCarthy’s latest film “Stillwater” is calm and patient in its story and character development, and I admire its thoughtful restraint to some degrees although I felt quite impatient as often noticing its weak aspects during my viewing. While it … Continue reading
Fatherhood (2021) ☆☆1/2 (2.5/4): It is hard to be a single daddy….
Netflix film “Fatherhood”, which was released on last Friday, somehow feels like an artificial product instead of being a genuine realistic human tale about the difficulties of raising a kid alone. While there are some sincere moments to be appreciated … Continue reading
Summer Is the Coldest Season (2019) ☆☆☆(3/4): That troubled summer of hers
Chinese film “Summer is the Coldest Season” is a dry but interesting coming-of-age drama about one adolescent girl struggling with her anger and grief. As she deliberately gets herself involved with a person responsible for that, the movie calmly and … Continue reading
The Father (2020) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): In a state of fading mind
“The Father” is a somber but harrowing chamber drama which calmly and sensitively depicts that confusing and devastating psychological condition of dementia. As its increasingly non-linear narrative is unfolded inside its small background, the movie gives us some acute insight … Continue reading
