Commission (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Drawing for murder

Santosh (2024) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her complicated case
“Santosh”, a Hindi-language film which was incidentally selected as the British entry for Best International Film Oscar in last year (It was subsequently included in the December shortlist, by the way), is a dry but engaging police procedural drama. As … Continue reading
Dangerous Animals (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A serial killer with sharks
“Dangerous Animals” is another typical horror film with a lot of sharks, but there is one thing to distinguish itself a bit among many other shark flicks which came out after Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” (1975). It has a crazy serial … Continue reading
Black Phone 2 (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): He’s back, of course.
“Black Phone 2” is a sequel which is seemingly unnecessary at first but turns out to be more entertaining than expected. While it is closely connected with its predecessor in terms of story and characters, the movie wisely avoids being … Continue reading
The Perfect Neighbor (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): One neighborhood dispute
Netflix documentary film “The Perfect Neighbor”, which was incidentally released yesterday, focuses on one small neighborhood dispute which led to a devastating outcome for everyone involved with that. Mainly driven by a series of archival footage clips, it does not … Continue reading
No Other Choice (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): Killing for employment
Park Chan-wook’s latest film “No Other Choice” is another dark and twisted genre piece you can expect from its director. Following its plain ordinary family guy’s murderous struggle for getting employed, the movie provides a series of morbidly humorous moments … Continue reading
The Ugly (2025) ☆☆(2/4): That face, that face, that face…
South Korean film “The Ugly” is willing to explorer the very, very, very ugly sides of the South Korean society during the 1970s, and I appreciate that to some degree even though I am not that sure about whether it … Continue reading
The Thursday Murder Club (2025) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little cozy murder mystery
Netflix film “The Thursday Murder Club”, which was released on last Thursday, is a little cozy murder mystery revolving around a small group of old amateur sleuths. While this is another your average Netflix product, it has enough wit and … Continue reading
The Amateur (2025) ☆☆(2/4): Amateurish to say the least
“The Amateur” will not surprise or entertain you much for many bad reasons. Compared to all those countless spy thriller films during last several decades, the movie does not have any ounce of style and substance to distinguish itself at … Continue reading
Red Rooms (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The woman delving into a dark web crime
“Red Rooms” is a disturbing but compelling mix of psychological thriller and character study. Closely following the obsessive behaviors of its rather enigmatic heroine, the movie makes us all the more curious about what really makes her tick, and we … Continue reading
