Girls on Wire (2025) 55% 3/5 “Trading in tropes drawn from family melodramas, film noir and martial arts movies, Girls on Wire is inconsistent in tone and convoluted in its storytelling. [It is] more a blend of incoherent ideas than an inventive genre mash-up.” – South China Morning Post Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Living the Land (2025) 4.5/5 “Huo’s second feature is a visually captivating, studiously structured and ceaselessly humane account of the anguish, anxiety and agitation sweeping rural China on the cusp of the country’s turbocharged plunge into market economics.” – South China Morning Post Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Veteran 2: I, the Executioner (2024) 100% 4/5 “Upping the stakes from the first instalment in nearly every department, I, the Executioner is a crowd-pleasing juggernaut that warns against the perils of populism, takes violence to task – and takes viewers on a white-knuckle roller coaster ride.” – South China Morning Post May 22, 2024 Full Review My Sunshine (2024) 92% 4/5 “Rarely has figure skating been shown as so pure, poetic and sensual than in My Sunshine, Hiroshi Okuyama’s feature about two young ice dancers and their coach over one winter in a small town in Hokkaido, in Japan.” – South China Morning Post May 20, 2024 Full Review Caught by the Tides (2024) 97% 3/5 “Jia has delivered something that is as much about nostalgia as it is about loss – loss of progress, of edgy rock music, and of camaraderie among the masses.” – South China Morning Post May 19, 2024 Full Review Black Dog (2024) 97% 2.5/5 “From the big bang of its first half-hour, Black Dog is slowly reduced to a whimper, as what was set up to be a hard-boiled genre film turns into a sentimental relationship drama.” – South China Morning Post May 18, 2024 Full Review An Unfinished Film (2024) 73% 4/5 “An Unfinished Film is a mind-boggling mix of melodrama and real-life videos, in which moments of sadness and ennui are followed by eruptions of joy and manic energy.” – South China Morning Post May 16, 2024 Full Review The Roundup: Punishment (2024) 91% 3/5 “Now into the fourth instalment of the series and with stunt coordinator Heo Myeong-haeng (Badland Hunters) taking the helm, the story has become more lightweight as the action has become more intense.” – South China Morning Post May 9, 2024 Full Review Above the Dust (2024) 3.5/5 “Wang’s decision to reinvent his cinematic language certainly deserves some praise, but he seems yet to find a neat balance between all the different tones and styles he tries to apply to his story.” – South China Morning Post May 9, 2024 Full Review Some Rain Must Fall (2024) 4/5 “Anchored by Yu Aier’s remarkably nuanced turn as the woman careering towards a complete breakdown, Some Rain Must Fall offers bristling family drama with elements drawn from film noir and suspenseful psychological thrillers.” – South China Morning Post May 9, 2024 Full Review Project Silence (2024) 50% 2/5 “This extremely loud disaster movie repeats territory well-trodden in classics such as The Host, Train to Busan and Tidal Wave. Unfortunately, Project Silence ends up a bad cover version of these originals.” – South China Morning Post May 23, 2023 Full Review The Breaking Ice (2023) 91% 3/5 “Bolstered by flowing camerawork and a dynamic performance from Zhou Dongyu, the film is an enjoyable if somewhat lightweight drama about three young people trying to drink and frolic away their physical and psychological traumas.” – South China Morning Post May 22, 2023 Full Review Only the River Flows (2023) 85% 4/5 “Wei Shujun’s third feature offers a mix of dead-end detective work, doomed characters and surreal dreamscapes. ... What is not in doubt is his standing as one of China’s most complex cineastes.” – South China Morning Post May 22, 2023 Full Review Youth (Spring) (2023) 86% 4/5 “Drawn from a whopping 2,600 hours of footage filmed between 2014 and 2019, ... the film offers an immersive and affecting overview of the joy and angst experienced by the young, listless and faceless masses on society’s margins.” – South China Morning Post May 22, 2023 Full Review Green Night (2023) 55% 2.5/5 “While Fan's performance certainly ranks as one of the most rugged in her career, the film itself flounders at every turn, its story weak and its structure unwieldy.” – South China Morning Post Mar 7, 2023 Full Review Plan 75 (2022) 94% 4/5 “Hayakawa has delivered something at once harrowing in its ambience, humane at its core and hard-hitting in its critique against the ageist mores of a cold, pragmatic society.” – South China Morning Post Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Next Sohee (2022) 94% 4/5 “Revolving around a student called Sohee and her spiralling life as a call centre worker, Next Sohee is a full-throated condemnation of the exploitation and abandonment of disfranchised young people by employers, schools and the authorities alike.” – South China Morning Post Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Return to Seoul (2022) 97% 4/5 “Though Chou is neither a woman nor a Korean, nor an adoptee, he has managed to find something in Return to Seoul that he clearly connects with, and that resonates with anyone else looking for their own place in the world, too.” – South China Morning Post Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Hunt (2022) 67% 2/5 “Hunt will be remembered for a film which would count history junkies and hardcore action-movie fans as its aficionados. Only them, that is: everybody else would probably find Lee Jung-jae’s espionage thriller excessively bombastic and muddled.” – South China Morning Post May 23, 2022 Full Review Seoul Station (2016) 100% “While not exactly as intriguing and powerful as his previous animated features, Seoul Station still offers visuals and a narrative in perpetual, gripping motion.” – The Hollywood Reporter Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains (2019) 100% “A gentle and engaging family drama that ebbs and flows.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 28, 2019 Full Review The Halt (2019) 88% “Diaz has yet to swap art for arms in order to bring change to his society. But the fire still burns brightly within him, it seems.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 25, 2019 Full Review Summer of Changsha (2019) 14% 2/5 “Summer in Changsha smoulders but fails to spark. What begins as a murder mystery morphs into a sluggish, archetypal relationship drama.” – South China Morning Post May 23, 2019 Full Review To Live to Sing (2019) 100% “A heartrending account of one person's increasingly frantic but ultimately futile efforts to bring back the glory days that have long receded into the past.” – The Hollywood Reporter May 21, 2019 Full Review Nina Wu (2019) 81% 4/5 “Nina Wu is taut, topical and terrifying.” – South China Morning Post May 21, 2019 Full Review
