not very good

i recently realized i loved killer game plots so i decided to try this one. i had high expectations but it was pretty disappointing. the students outside of the main group of 5 barely existed. the reason behind the games was pretty predictable which i wouldnt have minded if the games themselves as well as the character interactions and dynamics were interesting but they werent. the switches in perspective after the groups split up were hard to follow and i was lamenting about stupidity too much to enjoy the movie
- why did the guy friend feel the need to turn 180 degrees just to yell at the girl to run when he couldve taken advantage of the fact he pushed a crazy killer on his ass and restrain him or something?
- the groups constantly splitting up when theyre literally being kidnapped one by one (where is the logic there?)
- answering the questions achieves nothing because the students are killed afterwards anyway even if you get the answer right. the best friend dying anyway was so stupid and i kept getting confused about whether the answers were correct because the kids were dying regardless. its very boring watching a killer game when the hosts are constantly breaking the rules
- not sure if this counts since the teacher was the killer but him killing the crazy kid pissed me off because he literally didnt know if it was him (he didnt seem composed enough to set all this up anyway) and he was already unconscious. they couldve at least tried tying him up and getting some answers or something
- no one wanting to answer the 3rd (?) question and the teachers just letting them stay back as if their classmates arent literally dying and its better to at least have more minds working on the problem
- the parents reasoning made no sense to me. itd make more sense if they wanted to punish the kids for whatever reason
- what the hell was going on with that crazy kid who kept trying to kill the main girl? he saw the teacher murder jiwon but was that supposed to be what made him totally crazy? he acted possessed. theres no way thats supposed to be from witnessing a murder.
- the truth was rooted in reality so im confused about some of the scenes that seemed to be driven by supernatural forces like the hallucinations, ghost looking girl spawning and despawning instantly, people being kidnapped in such a weird manner
- the deaths were super brutal which could be considered good since its horror. i like when brutal deaths elevate the sense of suspense and dread (like in jigsaw) but since the games were boring and the rules were being broken, it fell flat.
- some scenes were strange…like did we really need to see the main girls underwear as she bled through on her period (which had no plot relevance) or her best friends underwear (surely the uniform couldve had build in shorts no?) but whatever

Princess Story

One sided Love of a Princess is a Korean version of the princess fairy tale that we all remember from childhood. The story is set in the Joseon Dynasty, where tradition and respect mean everything, but our main "hero," the princess, rebels against all the rules of the court because of love. Her actions toward freedom can be seen as feminist empowerment, but the director (also a woman) wisely presents her as immature and acting out of strong emotions, so we can understand her while still appreciating the social norms. We support her heart’s desires, but we also support the rule of law that requires everyone to be responsible for their actions.

The ending of the movie felt a bit rushed, but all in all, I liked how the story turned out. It surprised me how entertaining the movie was, and I think everyone who watches it will find something to enjoy. The main focus is on the princess, but there are also many other characters who play their roles very well. There is a bit of comedy and old-time action, but mostly this is a rich romantic story that will hopefully bring our own hearts some joy and inspiration.

A delicate moment

This film truly moved me and even made me cry. The delicacy and depth of the characters Jane and Ann left a strong impression on me, especially in how their dreams, perspectives, and ways of interacting with the world are so different.

Ann has a more realistic view of life. We see it in her desire to leave, in her complicated relationship with her mother, and in her connection with Tong. She seems fully aware that life won’t necessarily give her what she hopes for, so she’s trying to carve out her own path.

Jane, on the other hand, is much more idealistic. She doesn’t yet know what she wants to do with her future, but one thing is certain: she wants to stay by Ann’s side forever. Unlike Ann, she refuses the idea of moving forward, changing, or leaving — and that contrast between them creates a beautiful emotional tension.

Their relationship is so touching and profound. They genuinely love each other, but there’s a delicate ambiguity surrounding their feelings — we never really know if one of them is romantically in love with the other or if it’s the opposite. I truly appreciated this intentional “blur,” as it makes their bond even more powerful.

The arrival of Tong adds another layer to the story. His actions could even be interpreted as a form of grooming, which also works as a subtle critique, especially since he was fully aware of Ann’s situation.

In the end, I really appreciated this film — not only for its beautiful coming-of-age narrative but also for its subtle critique of capitalism and human relationships. It’s a sensitive, nuanced, and deeply emotional work that stays with you long after it ends

Everything I love about Kpop Demon Hunters

Like most people, I had no idea this movie was even coming out. I just woke up one morning and suddenly it was all anyone could talk about. The moment I saw the stellar animation, I knew I was in for a ride. What I didn’t expect was the emotional rollercoaster it would take me on. For a kids’ movie, it goes surprisingly deep—just enough to deliver a powerful message about guilt, shame, and ultimately, acceptance. That’s what really stood out to me: not just the eye-catching animation or the impeccable voice acting, but the way the theme of acceptance was brought to life through the songs and the amazing lead characters.

Now, for what didn’t sit right with me: there’s really only one thing. Jinu figures out Rumi’s patterns during their very first fight, while her friends—who’ve been fighting alongside her for years—never noticed them. It felt a little inconsistent. But honestly, it’s a minor issue, and I get that it had to happen to move the plot forward. So, no big deal.

As for the positives, I can confidently say I loved almost everything about this movie. The animation blew my mind, and that’s saying a lot because I’ve seen a ton of different styles. Having watched shows like Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai, and Samurai Jack, I didn’t think there was much left that could genuinely impress me. But this did. It’s playful, flexible, and just a joy to watch. The voice acting was excellent, except Gwi ma who wasn't menacing or scary at all—but props to the casting director—and the songs were on another level. It’s been so long since I’ve seen an animated musical this good. Moana 2, Frozen 2, Wish, etc. were major disappointments, & I'm glad that k-pop Demon Hunters came along to remind Disney what those movies should feel like.

Like I said, the key takeaway for me was the themes/central message. I love how the patterns are used both metaphorically & literally to represent one's shame & guilt. The movie does an excellent job of showing the power that secrets & shame can have over a person in their relationship with themselves & others, and how the more we try to hide our supposed flaws, we go deeper into more lies, secrets, deception, I even begin to hurt & disappoint the one we love because of our words & behaviors. I never expected a kids-friendly movie to teach such valuable lessons! That if we come to accept ourselves & put aside our fear of rejection, if we trust our loved ones with the truth, they could accept us too. Because love is all about forgiveness & acceptance.

I also love how Jinu's arc features a redemption that teaches us that it's never too late to change & do the right thing no matter how far gone you think you are.

I've heard lots of complaints about the ending. People say that they were made to sympathize with the demons only for them to all be banished. I understand that art is open to different interpretations, but I never saw it that way. This movie was never leading up to a place of demon-human coexistence. That's evident in the fact that they never even bothered developing the characters of the two Saja boys. It was about the personal journeys of two people coming to terms with their mistakes & learning to accept themselves for who they are. And yes, defeating the villain with the power of love & friendship is corny, but the world building established from the start that such things do have power.

Anyway, maybe a sequel could explore the possibility of demon-human coexistence. If it's not already clear by now, I loved this movie, and I know you loved it too, but I sincerely hope that my review made you love it more.

A STUNNING MYSTERY THAT STAYS WITH YOU

This isn’t a typical mystery, it feels almost poetic. Park Chan Wook frames each scene with such precision that the film often looks like a moving painting. The mix of tension and romance stands out most. The subtle looks and pauses between Tang Wei and Park Hae Il often carry more weight than dialogue. It’s a film that lingers in the mind long after it ends.

It’s not an easy watch for everyone because it is very slow pace. Some parts felt more style over substance, where the beauty of the shot mattered more than moving the plot forward. For viewers expecting a fast, thrilling crime story, this can feel frustrating.

Despite these flaws, Decision to Leave remains a remarkable work. It’s the kind of film that grows on you, where the atmosphere and emotions matter just as much as the mystery itself.

Amazing movie!

Just out of the preview in Paris, France. Pretty excited to be the one to post the first review ! The whole experience was amazing.
The storyline starts quite lightly, and becomes deeper and deeper, but still with super funny moments! I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say more, but it is very well written and I didn't see most of the plot twists coming.

The aesthetics/photography is wonderful as well, and the costumes really great, especially for the character of Nat.

All the actors did great, but I especially noticed the amazing performance by Apasiri Nitibhon, she can convey so complexe emotions without saying a word nor moving a single muscle, it was a true priviledge to watch her at this level of excellence.

All and all a movie all cinephiles must watch! If you're Davika's or Most's fan they have enough screentime for you to enjoy.

The heart always remembers

The title clued me in but I was not prepared for heartbreak.
Because even in knowing how the story ends, there's no way to balance out the emotions that came along the journey.

The Last Goodbye follows Heart and Xavier, high school students who are both positive, energetic and bubbly individuals - both carrying deep pain and a story in their hearts. They don't let that get in the way of their lives though.

Heart and Xavier slowly become friends and soon develop feelings for each other. And much like all young love, they face their hurdles - whether it's her father or their future. They manage to cross all of them, but their last goodbye comes sooner than later.

This movie was a reminder of so many others I grew up watching - the ones that introduced me to a romance so strong, it could move the world, with a story so simple, it could move you. The nostalgic look back to a time where love seemed like the purest of emotions, and the genuine way it was presented in the story made the movie what it was - heartfelt.

Daniela and Matt did a wonderful job as Heart and Xavier, it's been a long time since I've watched a movie that depicted a love this silent yet so loud, and their portrayal of the leads only amplified the emotions of it.

I highly recommend this movie if you're looking for a love story. Everyone's definition of a love story is different, but no one can deny that this isn't the love story. But keep some tissues on hand - it is a tearjerker.

Mission Cross: partners in love and in battle

I stumbled upon this movie during a casual search, and when I saw the synopsis about a former agent and his detective wife, I got curious to see how and when their missions would cross paths — just like the title suggests.

The film opens with the everyday life of Park Gang-Mu (played by Hwang Jung Min). He’s a devoted husband: cleans the house, cooks, does the laundry, and takes care of his wife. He also works as a kindergarten driver. His goofy personality hides his past surprisingly well. Meanwhile, Kang Mi-Seon (played by Yeom Jung Ah) fights crime in a mostly male team. She’s bold and fearless, shaped by her past as a national shooting athlete and strengthened by her job, where being sharp and tough seems like a must.

As a couple, they give off that vibe of two people who’ve lived together for years but still know so little about each other. Everything changes when, during one of Park Gang-Mu’s most mundane moments, someone from his past shows up and pulls him back into a web of crime he knows all too well. Things get even more interesting when Kang Mi-Seon’s coworkers misinterpret the encounter and start speculating that her husband is having an affair — those scenes are honestly hilarious.

When the past resurfaces and a supposed affair comes into play, their missions cross from totally different angles. It’s fun and engaging, and they managed to balance action and humor really well throughout the story. I did wish the movie was a bit longer and included a clever flashback showing how they met — the exact moment their lives crossed paths. I personally missed that. Oh, and that final reference? Absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Artists

The first half hour of the movie is very good, but I had to force myself to finish it. The film offers too little for something described as a "hardcore thriller crime drama." It begins with a very interesting premise of an artist entering the world of explicit and illegal art, similar to the dark web. Unfortunately, this wasn’t explained very well, and it felt as though I was watching a censored version of the film because it never dared to actually show us that hardcore art. The movie would have really benefited from showcasing a bit more of the artwork. There is, however, one very intense and entertaining scene where the main protagonist, Dan Kyung, fully unleashes her drawings.

The plot development is sloppy and unrealistic, and I can’t say the actors were very convincing. There is a touch of mystery and tension that might appeal to horror fans, but overall, this is a forgettable story that failed to use its potential.

Poetic

As a musical adaptation of The Butterfly Lovers, The Love Eterne really surprised me, especially given my viewing of Tsui Hark's adaptation at the start of this month. While part of me still prefers that version of the story, it's hard to fault an infectiously cheerful and kaleidoscopic musical, loaded with gorgeous sets and charming sentiments. Shot on the Shaw Brothers backlot, writer/director Han Hsiang Li and cinematographer Tadashi Nishimoto soar with a vast vision that covers the film in shimmering colour that dazzles in the elegant melodic numbers. Displaying an impressive sensitivity towards the courtship, Li uses graceful wide shots to gaze at the blossoming romance. Adapting a well-known traditional story, the screenplay by Han Hsiang Li beautifully employs the operetta numbers to create an epic operatic atmosphere that pulls at the heartstrings. Dipping the tale into Melodrama, Li hits a poetic note with the thoughtful dialogue capturing Bo's and Ti's eternal love, turning them into beautiful butterflies. Topped by some utterly spellbinding performances, The Love Eterne is essential viewing for any aspiring fan of Chinese Opera.

Silenced is not an easy film to watch. Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk (Squid Game), it is based on real events that took place at a school for hearing-impaired children in Gwangju, South Korea. The film exposes the systematic abuse suffered by students at the hands of teachers and authorities who were supposed to protect them, while society and the justice system turned a blind eye for years.

The story follows Kang In-ho (Gong Yoo), a newly arrived teacher who uncovers the horrors hidden within the school’s walls. As he confronts a corrupt system full of complicit silences, In-ho becomes the voice of those who could never defend themselves.

What makes Silenced truly harrowing is not just the explicit abuse, portrayed with sensitivity, without sensationalism, but the overwhelming sense of helplessness: the negligence of institutions, the corruption of justice, and the abandonment of the victims. The film does not aim to entertain but to move, to denounce, and to raise awareness.

Its impact was so powerful that after its release in 2011, Silenced provoked nationwide outrage in South Korea, led to the reopening of the real case, and inspired the “Dogani Law”, which imposed harsher penalties for sexual crimes against minors and people with disabilities.

Silenced is a tough, uncomfortable, yet profoundly necessary film. More than just a drama, it is a testimony, a reminder that cinema can also serve as a weapon for justice and a call for change.

WELL PRESENTED BUT FEELS SHALLOW

This film tries to stand out by moving the classic gangster story from Korea to 1990s Colombia. It looks different, it feels bold, but in the end, it doesn’t bring much that’s new.

The best thing about the film is Song Joong Ki. His role as Kook hee, a poor immigrant who rises in the smuggling world, is strong and convincing. He gives the film its heart, even when the story itself feels weak.

The setting in another plus. A korean movie shot in Colombia is rare, and the streets, markets, and alleys give the film a gritty and dangerous vibe. It feels fresh, but the story itself is too familiar. It follows the usual crime movie path -rise-betrayal-donwfall- without much depth. Side characters don’t get enough time to grow. The result is a movie that looks well presented but feels shallow.

The tone is uneven too. At time it tries to be dark and realistic, other times it leans toward black comedy. These shifts don't blend well, leaving the film without a clear voice. Still, the film deserves credit for ambition. Even if it’s not perfect, it shows that Korean cinema is ready to take bigger risks.

Not For The Faint Of Heart

Watching I Am Trash left me unsettled, disturbed, and unable to fully process what I had just seen. This isn’t a film that hides its subject matter behind metaphor or suggestion, it strip down completely.

At its core, the film is about a family rotting from the inside out. A father and his sons are tangled in cycles of abuse, incest, and violence. The eldest brother tries desperately to resist, to stop his father and siblings from sinking further into depravity, but his resistance is powerless.

The film makes it painfully clear how perpetrators think, how their mindset infects those around them, and how children inevitably carry the weight of that corruption.

Unsettling, raw, and unforgettable , this is not a film you enjoy. It’s one you survive!
