    White Palace

    ★★★½

    I’m not a fan of erotic movies, and honestly, the only reason I watched this was Susan Sarandon. I expected something meaningless, but surprisingly, it was more than that—and I even kind of liked it!
    At this point, I’m starting to believe that Susan Sarandon is amazing in every movie. I also thought the Sarandon-Spader pairing would be strange and not work, but to my surprise, they actually had great chemistry.
    Overall, it’s not a great movie or anything special, but it wasn’t bad for a one-time watch. I don’t regret watching it.

  • The Verdict

    The Verdict

    ★★★★½

    I believe there is justice in our hearts.

    A great and well-crafted courtroom drama from Sidney Lumet, featuring a fantastic Oscar-nominated performance from Paul Newman.
    I’ve said before that I love courtroom movies, but this one was even more interesting to me because it involved a medical case. The film has so many powerful moments, especially in the courtroom scenes, which more than make up for the occasional slow pacing. As it progressed, I found myself getting more and more invested.
    Also, seeing Jack Warden gave me …And Justice for All vibes.
    Overall, a great film that I highly recommend.

    If you had never left Seoul, would I still have looked for you?
    Although it had a simple story,nothing special happened and was a little slow, It was very beautiful!
    In many scenes, there was absolute silence and I was thinking to myself why no one's talking, but then I realized that even in their looks, there is a whole lot of words and meaning.
    This movie is not to everyone's taste and some people might get tired of watching it, but if you are a fan of romantic movies like Before Sunrise, don't miss it.

    The Substance

    ★★★★

    The Substance is probably the most disgusting film I've ever watched, yet, it's simultaneously one of the most creative and well-made movies I've seen. It boasts a compelling story and powerful performances from Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore, who is particularly noteworthy.
    I'm unsure whether I would recommend it, as it depends on your tolerance for disturbing and grotesque scenes. Personally, I found it to be a great film—one of the best in recent years—but it was also quite difficult…
