  It helped me appreciate Hong Sangsoo's work even more.

  Sasaki and Miyano 2022

  ★★★ Watched 05 Sep 2023

  Had a good start but the pacing is really imbalanced. The end result took an enormous plot progression drag.

  Me during the movie = the girl struggling to stay awake during the music recital.

  I wonder how much ratings were/will be inflated due to people who felt/will feel bad for not loving this film.

  On the Count of Three 2021

  ★★ Watched 01 Jun 2022

  I don't know... it's like watching a continuous train wreck. Not necessarily in execution, but at least in content. It has points where it almost makes me think, but the on-the-nose-ness of its messaging felt insincere and the often-convenient timing pulled me out of it. Regardless, the movie is definitely a downer, so they got the tone right.
