Priscilla 2023
Priscilla is an absorbing study of a perhaps all-too-common phenomenon: A girl surrenders herself completely to the man of her dreams and then grows up enough to see him with the painful clarity of daylight.
"Priscilla" is nowhere near as bombastic as "Elvis." It’s the quiet, nuanced story of a young girl whose kindness and naïvité were taken advantage of in the name of a man’s desire for fame.
The film is technically proficient and well made, but i found…

Yi Yi 2000
"They all say you've gone away. But you didn't tell me where you went. I guess it's someplace you think I should know. But, Grandma, I know so little. Do you know what I want to do when I grow up? I want to tell people things they don't know. Show them stuff they haven't seen. It'll be so much fun. Perhaps one day... I'll find out where you've gone.If I do, can I tell everyone, and bring them to…

Saltburn 2023
The sexual groveling of Oliver is akin to the social groveling of anyone who worships the ultra rich simply for being rich.
A clever, queasy drama, with a terrific star turn from its lead actor, that dares to drive a twisted story about class envy and class war to a risky conclusion.
it was disgusting, disturbing and brilliant!!

A Thousand and One 2023
"Where's home for me now?"
this was amazing, it touched my heart..
heartfelt melodrama that consistently sparks and sputters without ever fully igniting.The film's finale is mind-blowing. Emotionally wrought, undeniably shocking, and beautifully nuanced.

Sinister 2012
Is it scary? Creepy is more like it. "Sinister" makes you feel uneasy, puts you into sleepy mode and then slaps you with a couple of cheap scares.
This is a slow build type of horror film where most of the audience can see the end game long before the characters in the film. Even so, it's well crafted piece of work with some genuinely creepy moments. it's atmospheric, just not very memorable or scary.

The Lover 1992
This was not a story about two lovers, but the one. How many fifteen and a half year old girls do you know who are capable of mature unselfish love, the kind that demands real sacrifice? That's right, not too many. Real love between these two was never in the cards; while one partner may have been capable of it, the other was not.
The fact that this film does not follow a clear path it's one of it's qualities.…

Behind the Yellow Line 1984
There is little or no character or plot development. Apart from Maggie and Leslie i couldn't see any reason for the other characters to be there except to make up the time.
The emotions of the cast never flow or gel. Maggie blows hot and cold. One moment she's in bed with a man she's planning to marry, and literally the next minute she leaves him in floods of tears.
Im a huge fan of Maggie Cheung and Leslie Cheung,…
