If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (2025) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): The raw and intense portrayal of a troubled motherhood
Mary Bronstein’s second feature film “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” is probably one of the most intensely uncomfortable movie experiences I have ever had during this year. Closely and vividly sticking to the increasingly unstable mindset of one … 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

Nicole Holofcenter’s new film “You Hurt My Feelings” is basically another typical urban comedy drama set in New York City, but it is a pretty good one nonetheless. Mainly revolving around human relationship issues surrounding truth and lie, the movie … Continue reading
Stutz (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Meet his therapist

Nightmare Alley (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A fatalistic neo-noir film by Guillermo del Toro
Guillermo’s del Toro’s latest film “Nightmare Alley” is an admirable genre piece whose strength mainly lies in mood and details rather than the story itself. There are several weak parts in the story which could be improved more in my … Continue reading
Sputnik (2020) ☆☆☆(3/4): Beauty and the Host
Russian film “Sputnik” is a little creepy SF horror flick which intrigues and then chills you as patiently developing the story and characters within its limited background. Evoking many various movies ranging from “The Manchurian Candidate” (1962) to “Venom” (2018), … Continue reading
The Dead Center (2018) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): In the Mouth of Death
“The Dead Center” intrigued me at first and then came to frustrate me later. While it initially comes to us as an interesting mix of H.P. Lovecraft and Bill S. Ballinger, the movie unfortunately begins to trudge during its trite … Continue reading
The Phenom (2016) ☆☆☆(3/4): A baseball pitcher with issues
“The Phenom” is a somber and restrained sports drama which focuses more on psychological elements than physical ones. Mainly revolving around one talented but troubled rookie baseball player, the movie calmly and tentatively examines his longtime emotional issues, and we … Continue reading
Ruben Brandt, Collector (2018) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): An animation film about therapeutic heist
Hungarian animation feature film “Ruben Brandt, Collector” is a visual joy to behold. Freely and joyfully wielding its wacky, distinctive style across the screen, the film constantly dazzles us with numerous fantastic sights apparently inspired by many different artworks from … Continue reading
