The Friend

2024

★★½ Watched

Another Oscar worthy dog performance wasted in a mid movie

The Wedding Banquet

2025

★★½ Watched

An extremely rough first 40 minutes, conversation after conversation bleeding with artificiality and exposition, the "every scene must have conflict" screenwriting mantra taken to its extreme without the performances needed to sell it. Would benefit from a clearer tonal lane, either leaning further into the hard comedy or indie drama - right now it's in too awkward of a middle ground. I normally am a fan of Andrew Ahn's work, but Fire Island feels like a better example of his…

I, Tonya

2017

★★★½ 47

There's a scene where Tonya's voiceover says "I was 15" and then we see full grown Margot Robbie and it's probably the funniest moment in 2017 cinema.

Vivarium

2019

★★½ 19

That fucking ghoul kid managed to make Jesse Eisenberg not the most annoying person in a movie for once
