The juxtaposition of the banal and the supernatural may draw comparisons with the work of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, but perhaps a better reference would be the heady oddness of Mati Diop’s Atlantics.

Do was marked as a filmmaker to watch. Her third effort shows maturation and improvement that supports that claim. Her unique voice and heady themes won't appeal to everyone, however.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2022

A spellbinding tale that clings to you long after the film is over.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 17, 2022

If it's possible for a film to be both a very slow burn and also exciting at the same time, this one balances that contradiction.

| Mar 11, 2022

An elegiac mystery that coyly reveals just enough of its secrets to carry us along the path, but would have benefited from a few more shafts of light breaking through to that blood-soaked jungle floor.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2022

A movie that presents a unique take on science fiction, one that looks for the ghosts that linger on in a world that has been shaped by technology.

| Mar 3, 2022

An intriguing horror film and ruminative meditation on life and family that all comes together in a weird but successful way.

| Feb 24, 2022

Blurring the line between good intentions and selfishness, The Long Walk is a chilling and wholly original exploration of destructive human desires.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 21, 2022

A nuanced film, one that doesnt lay itself out in what we would consider a satisfyingly linear fashion.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2022

It is in The Long Walk that Mattie Do reveals the depths of her talent, the extent of her humanity and the potential to even further consolidate her status as one of the most important Asian filmmakers working today.

| Feb 16, 2020

The Long Walk is a tough, demanding film, and reveals its rewards slowly.

If Do's ambition sometimes gets ahead of her... it's a small price to pay to be whisked away to a country still mysterious to Western audiences by a director using local concerns to address collective truths about guilt and redemption.

Ghost stories - and especially those aimed at arthouse audiences - might benefit from a little ambiguity and a certain poetic strangeness. But it is a problem when the story becomes nearly impossible to follow for long stretches of time.
