Love Reset (2023)
“The script is remarkably inventive and funny, self-consciously loaded with romantic comedy tropes yet never being overly self-congratulatory about them.” –

Handsome Guys (2024)
“As a horror comedy, what Handsome Guys really needs are solid jokes- and it has plenty of those. The script even manages some excellent ones in the flashback scenes with no major cast members and a frankly terrible white actor.” –

Troll Factory (2024)
“If you didn't like the prologue, everything that follows is working under the exact same logic of attributing borderline magical powers to Internet posts.” –

Victory (2024)
“Instead of dealing with the more interesting worldbuilding, Victory deals a lot more with comparatively contrived drama, like a mostly pointless love triangle or one of the girls leaving the team.” –

Uprising (2024)
80%
“More perceptive readers might be annoyed that I'm discussing popular cultural trends about the Japanese invasion of Korea more than I am Uprising proper, and there's good reason for that. Aside from the metatext, this movie is surprisingly forgettable.” –

Usu (2021)
“To the extent Usu has an interesting idea, it's that this is a road trip movie which aims to replicate the actual circumstances of a road trip as opposed to the romantic idea of a road trip as it's more commonly seen in popular culture.” –

The Puppet (2013)
“Ostensibly, the story is about Ji-hoon abusing hypnotherapy for selfish ends- but I constantly found myself wondering exactly who was actually puppeteering who.” –

Secretly, Greatly (2013)
“There's only really one joke- contrasting the super-cool Ryoo-hwan with his retarded alter ego. This actually works a lot better than it should.” –

Born to Sing (2013)
“A feel-good movie in the best sense of the term- a reminder that most of our problems are pretty small and can be dealt with if we only have enough courage.” –

Forest Dancing (2013)
“There is, in fact, very little literal dancing in this film. The rhythm moves at its own sensual, visual click. It's a place to unwind- much like the actual Seongmisan Village.” –

Montage (2013)
“The terror mainly comes from the quiet moments, where the audience has no idea what will happen next, and even a fakeout ends up leaving us in a mildly panicked state.” –

Happiness for Sale (2013)
“Not an especially innovative or inventive film. But it has excellent camerawork, beautiful set design, good performances, a charming script, likable characters, and is just overall extremely well-done.” –

Boomerang Family (2013)

Running Man (2013)
“As long as Jong-Woo's running, we've got a good movie. But once he starts acting on his own, everything that was so special about the first part just sort of evaporates away.” –

Russians at War (2024)

Pilot (2024)
“This basic farce, this mockery both of traditional media and social media in terms of image-making, is what makes Pilot a genuinely funny movie with a lot of great gags.” –

Revolver (2024)

12.12: The Day (2023)

Dream (2023)

“by and large, "Dream - 2020" is the exact same kind of inspirational story it seems to be trying to parody, where homeless people pull themselves out of poverty, or at least misery, by just working hard.” –

By the Stream (2024)
100%
“For nearly his whole career, Hong Sang-soo has made films about pathetic men in artistic circles and the women who inexplicably love them. Somehow, he always comes up with a distinct variation on this theme, and "By the Stream" is no exception.” –
