A Real Pain (2024) ☆☆☆1/2 (3.5/4): A tour about pain
“A Real Pain” really amused and touched me more than once, and that is quite an achievement in my trivial opinion. While it initially seems fairly simple as a familiar buddy road comedy-drama film, the movie is often surprisingly funny … Continue reading
Time to Be Strong (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Their aimless little trip in Jeju Island
South Korean independent film “Time to Be Strong”, which is incidentally the 15th movie project of the National Human Rights Commission in South Korea, is a somber but haunting character drama about three young people feeling lost and desperate in … Continue reading
Before Sunrise (1995) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): When Jesse and Céline Met
Richard Linklater’s “Before Sunrise”, the first movie of his Before trilogy which was incidentally re-released in South Korea in a few weeks ago, is charming and delightful as before. While it surely feels all the more poignant now thanks to … Continue reading
Migration (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A Mallard Tale
Animation feature film “Migration” is not as bad as I feared, but it is also not as good as I wished. As many of reviewers have pointed out, last year was a curiously weak year for animation films without much … Continue reading
Hit the Road (2021) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A family on the road
Iranian film “Hit the Road” simply follows and observes one private journey, but it will surprise you more than once. As closely and intimately focusing on the emotional undercurrents among its four principal characters going through a certain important moment … Continue reading
Compartment No. 6 (2021) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Her accidental travel companion
“Compartment No. 6”, which was selected as the Finnish submission for Best International Film Oscar in last year, is a modest but intimate character drama between two accidental travel companions. They are quite different from each other in many aspects, … Continue reading
Moonlit Winter (2019) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): A letter from her first love
South Korean film “Moonlit Winter” reminds me that it is always more compelling to observe star-crossed lovers in agony and restraint. Here are two very unhappy women who have quietly yearned for each other since they were separated from each … Continue reading
The Trip to Spain (2017) ☆☆☆(3/4): Six days in Spain – with Coogan and Brydon
“The Trip to Spain” is as fun and amusing as I expected, and that is fine with me. Like two previous films “The Trip” (2011) and “The Trip to Italy” (2014), the movie constantly draws lots of small laughs from … Continue reading
Le Week-End (2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A couple’s imperfect weekend in Paris
They are not young anymore, and they have problems to deal with. As following their rather imperfect weekend, “Le Week-End” initially draws our attention with those lovely sights of Paris and then gradually reveals an honest picture of two aging … Continue reading
