Sorry, Baby (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Before and after what happened to her
During the first 20 minutes of Eva Victor’s first feature film “Sorry, Baby”, I observed that its heroine is living a wonderful academic life which would have been envied by my late mentor/friend Roger Ebert, who could have taught literature … Continue reading
Freud’s Last Session (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A fictional meeting of two minds
Any good two-hander movie should trust its characters and performers, but “Freud’s Last Session” does not do that much. Here are two fascinating real-life figures who might have an interesting conversation if they had really had a private meeting in … Continue reading
Hit Man (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The story of a fake hit man
Richard Linklater’s latest film “Hit Man”, which was released on Netflix in last week, is a delightful black comedy packed with lots of wit, humor, and personality to be appreciated. What we get here is often typical to the core, … Continue reading
Dream Scenario (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): From dream to nightmare
“Dream Scenario” pushes its preposterous surreal story idea as much as possible, and I often enjoyed that during my viewing. Steadily anchored by one of better performances from its lead actor, the movie doles out a series of dryly absurd … Continue reading
Juhee from 5 to 7 (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Her and some others from 5 to 7
I was disappointed to see that South Korean independent film “Juhee from 5 to 7” does not focus on its titular heroine as much as I expected from its very title. Here is a potentially interesting female figure to illustrate … Continue reading
God’s Country (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Her isolated pain and anger
I had some idea about what “God’s Country” is about after watching its trailer in last year. In fact, the movie did not surprise me in that aspect when I finally watched it yesterday, but it actually surprised me in … Continue reading
White Noise (2022) ☆☆(2/4): A whimsical misfire from Noah Baumbach
Noah Baumbach’s latest film “White Noise”, which is released in South Korean theaters in this week and then will be on Netflix around the end of this month, does not click that well with me. The movie, which is based … Continue reading
Irrational Man (2015) ☆☆(2/4): He thinks – she thinks
There are many far worse things out there, but watching “Irrational Man” is the blandest experience I have ever had from Woody Allen film since “Cassandra’s Dream” (2007). Although there are a few moments where we can get glimpses of … Continue reading
Another Woman (1988) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): And then she listens to the voice…
Among a bunch of books on movies I have kept at my family home for years, there is an old movie guidebook I bought in 1996. Some of its contents later turned out to be inaccurate or questionable, but that … Continue reading
Gyeongju (2014) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : One long day in an old South Korean city
If you want me to recommend any other South Korean cites besides Seoul to visit for sightseeing, Gyeongju is one of several good places coming to my mind instantly. As a city which was once the capital of the … Continue reading
