    Lilim

    ★★★

    Hindi lang madre ang nakatira dito.”
    (“Nuns are not the only ones who live here.”)

    There’s actually quite a great potential to the themes and story of Lilim. The cult, lore, the nuns’ and Isabel’s backstories were well thought of, it’s just the cheap jump-scares and awful selection of soap opera-ish scoring that irks me.
    Lilith is Barbarian’s distant sister from Asia lmao - this makes it unoriginal of course, but it’s somehow different in the Philippine horror scene.

    Loved…

    It’s refreshing and interesting to see animals flow with earthly adversities that come their way.
    There’s lots to feel here - awe, calmness and even suspense.
    The art style & animation is just incredible - adored every scene. Loved that it also felt like an adventure game!

    Another testament that you don’t need words to tell a beautiful story.

    Asteroid City

    ★★★★★

    “This is our chance to be actually worthwhile in our lifetimes.”
    “It’s all worthwhile in your lifetime.”

    Wes Anderson takes a further stroll into the questioning realm of one’s existence with Asteroid City. The film creatively tells the story among these 3:

    Loss - Inevitable 

    Life - Ambiguous 

    Purpose - Evasive

    There’s quite the depth to this: themes of existential crisis, the thin line between reality and fiction, the search for life’s meaning and its uncertainty, as the film perfectly shows…

    ★★★½

    “It’s still quite a long time until sunrise and I sleep by day, dear fellow… completely dead to the world.

    I just have to agree that this is quite visually arresting for a 1922 film. Outstanding use of lighting and shadows. That scene where Count Orlok’s shadow is by the stairs is just marvelous.
    This relies heavily on expressionism - the eerie psychological themes and stark visuals matched with vampire lore was really effective.
    Some acts and scenes to it…
