    In the Mood for Love

    ★★★★½

    Watching In the Mood for Love left me in a daze—a confusion that felt intentional, almost poetic. I didn’t fully understand what I had just witnessed, but there was an aftertaste, a lingering feeling I couldn’t shake. The film clung to me like humidity on skin, refusing to fade.

Not only does this movie take a PhD in useless side characters and short attention spans…

    ★½

    I witnessed history… Morbius might take the cake at being the worst movie or biggest flop, but this movie was BORDERline close to LANDing all the medals in the colossal failure department.

    As a fellow fanatic, admirer and some might even say character within Borderlands, myself and another Borderlands loving gentleman contemplated for days on end whether to watch this or not. We took the risk, we saw it in a theatre with a children playground in it, and maybeeeee…
