My Sailor, My Love (2022) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): One winter romance coupled with a family issue

The Summer (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): After that summer romance of theirs
South Korean queer animation film “The Summer” gives us a simple but bittersweet presentation of one summer romance and its aftermath. As tenderly and sensitively observing the start, development, and end of romantic relationship between its two different lead characters, … Continue reading
Elemental (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): An elemental romance of fire and water
