K-Pops (2024) 87% 4/5 ““K-POPS” introduces heartwarming Hallmark fuzziness to the impressive production value of a K-Pop idol competition. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Layla (2024) 87% 4.5/5 “Al-Kadhi hits all the marks: from script to cast to costume, “Layla” is a delectable spectacle, offering up a joyous assortment of sensorial delights. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2024 Full Review The Summer (2023) 3.5/5 “Like a 온라인카지노추천-film, “The Summer” is short and sweet, with only 88 minutes of runtime. If anything, it would be a delight if it were to run longer – but perhaps that just makes room for another future feature by Han Ji-won.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Silver Bird and Rainbow Fish (2022) 3/5 “For a short, this makes for a lovely aesthetic, but – for 104 minutes, one's attention is prone to ebb and flow. Altogether, however, “Silver Bird and Rainbow Fish” is certainly a noteworthy homage to one's lineage. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 19, 2024 Full Review The Boy and the Heron (2023) 96% 4.5/5 ““The Boy and the Heron” is largely self-indulgent. If this does end up being his last film – and touch wood if so! – then the film would mark a masterful capstone to Hayao Miyazaki's career. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 19, 2024 Full Review In the Land of Brothers (2024) 100% 3/5 “There’s no dignity in death as an Afghan immigrant in Iran. For a first-time feature, “In the Land of Brothers” showcases a promising directorial debut for Amirfazli and Ghasemi, and an even more impressive debut for Hamideh Jafari. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Dìdi (2024) 96% 4/5 “Guaranteed to be a good time, especially for millennials who spent any amount of time online.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Agent of Happiness (2024) 95% 3.5/5 “What does it really mean to be happy? The film raises more questions than it does answers. While the film is not particularly grand in any manner, it is sure to at least provoke some introspection.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Black Box Diaries (2024) 98% 4/5 “Like many other #MeToo documentaries, this is not just Shiori Ito's story, but the story of women in Japan. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 19, 2024 Full Review To Kill a Tiger (2022) 100% 3.5/5 “An empowering documentary. The dark subject matter is difficult to swallow, but Pahuja’s optimism is clear in the production.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review A Man of Reason (2022) 25% 2/5 ““A Man of Reason” is simply bland. This formless appeal to visceral stimulation reveals an innate, naive clumsiness in Jung Woo-sung’s direction — perhaps signaling that the man is perhaps better-suited to simply being in front of the camera.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Aurora's Sunrise (2022) 100% 4.5/5 “One of the more compelling productions on the Armenian Genocide of 1915 to date. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review This Place (2022) 100% 3/5 “VT Nayani's attempt to find similarities across cultures is admirable – but for a character cast this complex, she needs to allow herself more time to tell her story. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Walk Up (2022) 97% 4.5/5 “This delightful film is not so much a crowdpleaser than it is a sly peephole; it wonders at the sheer simplicity of everyday life. A delightful addition to the prolific auteur’s oeuvre. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review The Stranger (2021) 2.5/5 “ “The Stranger” takes a while to steep. “The Stranger” definitely is not a crowdpleaser, but it is most certainly a sober meditation on the current situation in Golan Heights. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review The Swimmers (2022) 82% 3/5 “It is just a shame that the human should be so easily translated into Euro-American codes of filmic legibility. “The Swimmers” ends up – strangely enough – as a feel-good refugee movie. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review A Gaza Weekend (2022) 80% 4.5/5 “Basil Khalil’s tight scriptwriting and seamless direction has branded himself as a filmmaker to watch. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Four Samosas (2022) 66% 3/5 “Is “Four Samosas” funny? To a degree, it is. Though the mismatch between theatrical performance and camerawork fall apart, Kapoor’s cultural references shine. “Four Samosas” is not a life-changing movie, but it is good time.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Kim's Video (2023) 71% 3.5/5 “Forget love letters to cinema. Remember Kim's Video! ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Fremont (2023) 98% 3/5 “The very quirk that defines “Fremont” is distracted by the production’s other idiosyncrasies. “Fremont” sidesteps the deep-seated feelings of drama and trauma, presenting – like a nicely-packaged fortune cookie – a quick watch to consume and forget.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review AUM: The Cult at the End of the World (2023) 64% 3/5 ““AUM” reads as a glorified Wikipedia article. It is as informative as it is uninspiring.” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Shortcomings (2023) 85% 4/5 “One could say that “Shortcomings” is just tailored for Asian Americans, for Bay Area residents, for graduate students, or so on — but in the end, it’s ultimately about the human condition. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Nam June Paik: Moon is the Oldest 온라인카지노추천 (2023) 90% 3.5/5 ““Nam June Paik: Moon is the Oldest 온라인카지노추천” repackages the video artist’s legacy neatly, but not personally; it relishes his career more than his person... It just presents the obituary more than it does the man. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Return to Seoul (2022) 97% 4/5 ““Return to Seoul” provokes more questions than it does answer. Chou masterfully steers his production into open-ended conversation... There is more to the Self, Chou insists, than what first meets the eye. ” – Asian Movie Pulse Feb 21, 2023 Full Review Escape From Mogadishu (2021) 95% 4/5 “Escape from Mogadishu breathes fresh air into the age-old story of domestic conflict.” – KoreanScreen.com May 26, 2022 Full Review
