MOVIE REVIEWS
Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
It ‘Blows’
Blows is a good word with which to describe the long-delayed crime epic Where The Wind Blows.
‘Quantum’ Excess
At least Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania comes in under two hours. That’s something?
‘Seoul’ Searching
Director Davy Chou explores adoption, identity and the military-industrial complex (!) in Return to Seoul.
Wisp of a Thing
Whisper of the Heart’s second adaptation is as misguided as it is gauzy and predictable.
‘Wandering’ Away
Frant Gwo cements a billion-dollar soft power franchise with The Wandering Earth II.
Sticky Stuff
Todd Field’s Tár goes way, way, way beyond simply being a movie about so-called ‘cancel culture’.
Night Shift
Huh? No twist in M Night Shyamalan’s Knock at the Cabin? Nope, just old fashioned tension.
Growing Pains
Mabel Cheung turns documentarian for her portrait of a Ying Wa generation in To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self.
Cleared for Take-off
Yes, guy! Plane is Gerard Butler’s annual late winter punch-up, and it’s one of his best.
Picking a Fight
Donnie Yen does his martial thing in the latest adaptation of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Sakra.
By the Book
A Guilty Conscience looks like it might ride the legal thriller wave currently crashing over Hong Kong.
‘Wedding’ Belle
If it’s January it must be time for a goofy J.Lo movie, so hello Shotgun Wedding. Bless.
Just a Doll!
The creepy and funny M3GAN carries on the grand tradition of homicidal dolls.
