  Pig 2021

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  This trope-defying, mystery-solving little piece is worthy of all the praise it has received. Best punchline of the year so far: “we don’t get a lot of things to care about.”

  Sharks vs. Dolphins: Blood Battle 2020

  ★★½ Watched 03 Mar 2022

  Too much tension building and too little action ensued. Not a bad de-stress watch though.

  Monster 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 09 Jul 2023

  Heavy stuff. Probably one of Kore-eda’s finest, most heartfelt social critique. It’s so heavy that the entire theater of audience just sat through the end credits, seeking for some sort of solace.

  The ending is enigmatically dreamy, with a texture you only see in Miyazaki films. I can’t describe it, but I guess that’s what children’s dream should look like.
