Despite my high rating, I’m a little mixed on Return to Seoul. I think how much I like it depends on how much I can get into the main character’s head… and often that’s a pretty inscrutable place. I ultimately … Continue reading
Chevalier starts strong but makes a mistake I doubt they could have predicted. They tell us this story is taking place in pre-revolution France and when the movie bogs down bitterly in its second half, I sat there stewing in … Continue reading
