Quiet dramas circling relationships between parent and child have always managed to hold a special place in my heart—films such as The Florida Project (2017) and Petite Maman (2021). I find myself seldom resonating with films nowadays, which is why it was a delightful (and heartbreaking) surprise to chance upon one of the best ones of 2022.

Aftersun will gently lead you through a current of parental anxiety masked as a coming-of-age. The sound design, acting, and cinematography is nothing short…

NON-SPOILER REVIEW

As a child, I have always loved fairy tales and folklores – whether it be about a princess locked in a tower or a sea monster waiting for its prey. If you love beautiful animation and magical stories filled with love and unpredictable twists, this is the 2020 film you’ve been waiting for.
    This new feature comes with the distinctive style Cartoon Saloon is known for, and an unexpectedly heart-warming tale woven with old magic; the…

Yes, I don’t mind delving into the hot priest cinematic universe. Fleabag nation rise <3

I am appalled by how long it has taken me to watch this film, so I am very glad for this rewatch shortly after. Corpus Christi is not a Catholic film nor is it a direct critique of Catholicism. It does however tackle the theme where proclaiming oneself a Christian is different than actually practicing Christian values and beliefs. This is an unexpectedly moving film,…

I was so infatuated by the movie that I immediately started saying “Markos” the same way they did during the end, but realized it sounded too much like I was hailing Marcos, a Filipino demon, so I just stopped. 

I haven’t been this at loss for words since watching Under the Skin. I finished Suspiria knowing I absolutely loved and adored it despite not knowing what in the world happened. There is something so intoxicatingly breathtaking with the imagery throughout…

This movie is just another proof of how misleading trailers can be. Don’t get me wrong. It isn’t mediocre. It’s not even bad. It’s just that the promise of a stellar cast somehow gave across the impression that the movie was going to be stellar as well.

All the good things about this movie: The acting, the cast, the pacing, the plot and how religion was portrayed, Robert Pattinson, and the ending. I’m sorry but this is probably also the…

"Wow, that is one hardcore origin story, kid."

Same thoughts.

  I finished this at 2AM on one of the nights that I struggled to adjust my body clock. I struggled with the choice of pausing and continuing when I wake but honestly…this was just too good. It is NOT just another Spiderman movie. It isn’t handcuffed to do the exact same formula as its predecessors did before it, but instead, is a unique, well-written, well-executed, and highly enjoyable animated…
