Netflix documentary film “Will & Harper”, which was released on last Friday, follows a little road journey of one famous American comedian and his transgender friend. Simply focusing the frank and earnest interactions between them, the documentary gives us a … Continue reading
All the Long Nights (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): As they help and support each other
Japanese filmmaker Shô Miyake’s latest film “All the Long Nights” is a calm and somber character drama between two different troubled people who come to help and support each other more than expected. Although it feels predictable at times, the … Continue reading
We Grown Now (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Their childhood in Cabrini-Green, 1992
“We Grown Now” is a little but intimate coming-of-age drama about growing up in the Cabrini-Green neighborhood of Chicago in 1992. Mostly sticking to the viewpoint of two young African American boys living there during that time, the movie often … Continue reading

Challengers (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Are they ready to serve?
Luca Guadagnino’s new film “Challengers” is quick, deft, and passionate in its every serve, and I like that a lot. Electrifyingly and humorously bouncing along one very complicated situation among its three main characters, the movie alternatively amuses and thrills … Continue reading
I vitelloni (1953) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A group of village slackers
Federico Fellini’s “I vitelloni”, which means “The slackers” in Romagnol slang, is a dry but funny comedy drama film about a group of young but pathetic village slackers. Although it may not be one of Fellini’s best works in my … Continue reading
The Eight Mountains (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A friendship among mountains
The best thing of “The Eight Mountains” is the cinematography by Ruben Impens, who gives some of the most stunning landscape shots I have ever seen during this year. Although I was a bit tired due to watching and then … Continue reading
Joy Ride (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Asian Girls Trip
The arrival of “Joy Ride” is sort of inevitable in my trivial opinion. After boys had all those raunchy funs in numerous R-rated comedy films such as “Superbad” (2007) and “The Hangover” (2009) during last two decades, girls also went … Continue reading
