His Three Daughters (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): As they wait for their father’s death
Netflix film “His Three Daughters”, which was released a few days ago, trusts its main cast members for going up and down within its modest but intense chamber family drama, and I enjoyed that a lot. As its three main … Continue reading

Netflix documentary film “Daughters”, which was released a few days ago, presents an aching human story of a bunch of prisoners trying to reconnect with their young daughters. As frequently alternating between these two different groups, the documentary lets us … Continue reading

A Lonely Island in the Distant Sea (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): As his life goes on…
South Korean independent film “A Lonely Island in the Distant Sea”, which I belatedly watched only after it unexpectedly won the Grand Prize at the Wildflower Film Awards in South Korea, simply and leisurely rolls along with its plain hero’s … Continue reading

Vesper (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): One defiant girl in the middle of a post-apocalyptic world
Post-apocalyptic science fiction tales are dime a dozen, but “Vesper” distinguishes itself via its vividly barren and strange background. Although it is rather modest in terms of scope and production budget, the movie did a fairly good job of filling … Continue reading
Scrapper (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): And then her dad comes…
“Scrapper” is a modest but endearing character drama film revolving around the strained human relationship between two very different characters. Right from when they meet each other for the first time, you will know where the story is heading, but … Continue reading
One Fine Morning (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Some uncertainties in her daily life
Mia Hansen-Løve’s new film “One Fine Morning” is another nice slice of life you can expect from her. Although it may not be one of her better works, there are a number of good things including that plain but palpable … Continue reading
My Sailor, My Love (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): One winter romance coupled with a family issue
“My Sailor, My Love” tries two different things together, but the resulting mix is often clunky and unconvincing. On one hand, we have a supposedly intimate romance drama between two aging people, and the movie did a fairly good job … Continue reading
Missing (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): Gone Father
It is rather difficult to describe the plot of “Missing”, a dark and disturbing Japanese mystery thriller film which pulls some surprises for us as unexpectedly shifting from one narrative point to another. I will be discreet here as much … Continue reading
Father of the Bride (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A likable Cuban American remake
“Father of the Bride”, the third film based on the 1949 novel of the same name by Edward Streeter, is a likable remake which deserves its own little place besides the 1950 version and the 1991 version. Again, we see … Continue reading
