  End of Evangelion makes some real brilliant choices and some really, really messy ones.

  Past Lives 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 18 Jun 2023

  I haven't thought about Past Lives, afterwards, as much as I thought I would. But in the moment, it was one of the most devastating things I've watched.

  Drive My Car 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Dec 2021

  I was not expecting to love this as much as I did. Drive My Car is long but beautiful and deeply moving. I loved the film’s handling of translation, as a motif, especially in the rehearsal scenes where the cast is speaking to each other in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Korean sign language. The two lead performances are obviously strong, but for me Park Yoo-Rim’s performance as Lee Yoon-a / Sonya stole the show. This is one I want to rewatch. (4.5/5)
