Bears’ Famous Invasion of Sicily, The (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, France
  • 3 Comments

You wouldn’t expect that a French animation about walking-and-talking bears could possess both depth and intelligence, plus it’s so fun to watch.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bait (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, UK
  • 2 Comments

There’s something anachronistic about its visual style, but Mark Jenkin’s modern 16mm experiment about social tensions in an English fishing village largely impresses with its extraordinary use of nearly all manner of montage. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Hail Satan? (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, Documentary, USA
  • 1 Comment

Provocative in an important way, this cautionary if hilariously satirical documentary emphasises the need to be open to understanding minority groups in pluralistic, secular countries.    

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Happy Old Year (2020)

  • Others
  • 2020, Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit, Thailand
  • Leave a comment

An easy-going Thai movie about the need to let go of the past that gets the balance between comedy and serious drama just about right.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I Lost My Body (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, France
  • 2 Comments

Creative and original, this French animation meditates on personal loss with eye-popping visuals, but never quite reaches any significant emotional peak.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Buoyancy (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, Australia
  • Leave a comment

A gripping feature debut that explores a current social issue—slave labourers on board fishing vessels in Southeast Asia—that is both urgent and disturbing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Waves (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, Trey Edward Shults, USA
  • 3 Comments

At times intoxicating, the film’s kaleidoscopic approach to exploring the depths of human emotions is invigorating and refreshing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
