Mickey 17 2025
Honored to share a name with one of cinema’s greatest living actors.
Fun return for RobertPat and Bong Joon-ho after 3 and 6 years respectively. I enjoyed this and had a good time throughout.
My favorite parts were when Nasha’s relationship with (the) Mickey(s) was allowed to shine. They were cute and I liked how they showed up for each other in distinctive ways.
Despite how much I fun I had, I felt that the ending dragged a little and…Translated from by
