Drive-Away Dolls (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A whimsical crime comedy from Ethan Coen
In my inconsequential opinion, Joel and Ethan Coen have often swung back and forth between two extreme ends during last several decades. On one end, they can give us extremely wacky comedy films such as “Raising Arizona” (1987), “The Hudsucker … Continue reading
Tchaikovsky’s Wife (2022) ☆☆(2/4): The Passion of Tchaikovsky’s Wife
They say misery loves company, but, after watching Kirill Serebrennikov’s “Tchaikovsky’s Wife”, I am wondering whether Russians love misery more than it wants. Here is a relentlessly grim, solemn, and miserable film which does not have much sense of human … Continue reading

Bottoms (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Figthting Girls
Emma Seligman’s second feature film “Bottoms” is decidedly outrageous for laughs, and I enjoyed that. As a high school comedy movie, it is often blatantly artificial in terms of mood and details, but it literally does not pull any punch … Continue reading

Passages (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): You will be sorry for them – but not him
Ira Sachs’ latest film “Passages” will definitely make you wince a lot for its utterly unlikable hero – and how much the two other main characters around him struggle with his toxic influence in one way or another. Although you … Continue reading
Green Night (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Her manic pixie girl
“Green Night” is a little murky noir film which works best whenever it focuses on the wild and compelling relationship between its two very different main characters. Although I found myself quite frustrated with several vague aspects of its plot, … Continue reading
Benediction (2021) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The final film by Terence Davies
“Benediction”, which is now the last film by Terence Davies after he died a few days ago, is a melancholic collection of personal memories from a real-life British poet who had a fair share of bitter anger and sadness as … Continue reading

Cassandro (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Meet Cassandro
“Cassandro”, which was released on Amazon Prime in last week, is less flamboyant while also being more earnest than expected. Based on the real-life story of a gay American-born Mexican luchador (professional wrestler), the movie sensitively focuses on its characters … Continue reading

The Blue Caftan (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A quiet triangle at one caftan store

Red, White & Royal Blue (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little private affair between two young public figures
“Red, White & Royal Blue”, which was released on Amazon Prime in last week, is a lightweight romantic comedy film which decorates its very familiar genre formula with some interesting story elements. Sure, homosexual romance has become quite a mainstream … Continue reading
Queer My Friends (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Following her gay friend’s struggle
South Korean documentary film “Queer My Friends” follows the personal struggle of one young South Korean gay man who simply wants to be alive and true to himself. Although his story is presented mainly via the rather distant viewpoint of … Continue reading
