American Fiction (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A little mild satire to enjoy

Single in Seoul (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Publishing and Romancing

Birth (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): A hell called pregnancy
South Korean film “Birth” was often difficult to watch for me. Because I saw its trailer a few weeks ago, I braced myself even before the screening was started, and, boy, it turns out to be as grimly intense as … Continue reading
