Thien (Le Phong Vu) is young videographer of weddings and loves his great free time in or out of Saigon with friends. The contemplative drama of Pham Thien An ‘Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell’ is about Tragedies as it explores the transfiguration of timeless binaries of truth and faith and the search for meaning in […]
Suspicion toward an Angel Studios picture is quite understandable; perhaps, because after all, this Utah based movie studio had already gained prominence last year with the surprising box office success of the child trafficking thriller Sound of Freedom. The box office takings of the Sound of Hope film reached 242 million dollars thanks to a
Mother of the Bride: In recent times, there have been a surge of rather extravagant destination wedding themed rom-coms. Fashions seem to change quickly, and two years ago it was all about “Ticket to Paradise” with Clooney/Roberts and also “Shotgun Wedding” with J.Lo and Duhamel. More recently “Anyone But You” with Sweeney and Powell came
The film study on the Holocaust or Israel, allowing for plenty of various interpretations, is not popularly absent in cinema. However, it is rather uncommon to see these very two subjects combined so deliberately as it happens in “June Zero.” To enfold it all into some kind of network of interrelated stories, through a number
The central theme around which “Good Bad Things” revolves is profoundly intimate, weak as this may make it seem, but emphasizing a greatly dreaded issue in our everyday lives: only wanting to be loved but perhaps having repulsive qualities to those who see them.

“Are you lost?, an old lady off the mall asks sad-sack Renn Wheeland Nick Jonas during the usual millennial boredom that comprises one of his many periods. It’s the sort of innocent sentiment which in close up photo and done with ruthless awkwardness is purposeful in Robert Schwartzman’s, a tear jerker focused interactive drama in
Imagine a searing, social-political drama set against the backdrop of a detestable European refugee event which has its own counterparts in other Africa, Asia, the Middle East and even along America’s Southwestern border. This would be Agnieszka Holland’s ‘Green Border’ and in my opinion from all the new releases in the US this year, it
Not much more than yet another assembly line typeproduced, Unfrosted: The Pop-Tarts Story appears to be a bit hollow. Most of the time, the most difficult task is determining exactly what the filmmakers meant to achieve, let alone whether it was possible to do so at all. Typically, the last term in quotation marks is
Let us first settle in our minds one evident thing: Yes, it hasn’t taken us too long to get a film for the prominent queen of Austria, empress Elisabeth of Austria Sisi as she is mostly known in public. That film was Marie Kreutzer’s ‘Corsage'(2022), featuring a cold and rather too serious for the occasion
Watching two men argue nonsensically while taking a walk in a forest in Michigan is not that captivating. Nevertheless, screenwriter, director, and actor Joel Potrykus hits the bulls eye of their humanity in ‘Vulcanizadora’-where slowly a very disturbing agreement unfolds only to go terribly wrong at some point. It is the terrible quality of the
