JTBC's 'My Liberation Notes' has raked up many nominees for the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards. Son Suk-ku and Kim Ji-won are nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress for their leading roles.
Chase Joynt's 'Framing Agnes' is a fascinating documentary about the exploration of transgender narratives. The past and the present are woven into a story about claiming one's own journey.
'Call Jane' is the directorial debut of 'Carol' screenwriter Phyllis Nagy. Sigourney Weaver delivers a charismatic performance, although the film itself falls a bit flat.
Christian Tafdrup's 'Speak No Evil' is purposefully frustrating social horror that incorporates chills, thrills, and occasional dark humor to make a point on human interaction.
A24's 'After Yang' is a sci-fi triumph. Colin Farrell is utterly captivating in a role that captures memory, loss, family, and the preservation of memory.
Mimi Cave turns in a well-cooked directorial debut with 'Fresh.' Daisy Edgar-Jones and Sebastian Stan are real highlights in this stomach-churning horror thriller.
'When You Finish Saving the World' is a cringe-fest. Jesse Eisenberg makes his directorial debut, but much like its characters, he leaves something to be desired in execution.
Sony's 'Hotel Transylvania: Transformania' plays its human monster swap a bit too safe. Nevertheless, it's beautifully animated and easy family entertainment.
'The Matrix Resurrections' is an unnecessary sequel. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss' love story hits the right nostalgia, but flops on creating meaningful stakes and action.
'The Tragedy of Macbeth' features stunning black-and-white cinematography coupled with nuanced performances from Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, and Kathryn Hunter. But, it's far from the best 'Macbeth' adaptation.
'The Lost Daughter' is an exceptional and uncompromising look at motherhood that's singular, yet haunting. Maggie Gyllenhaal's feature directorial debut is a winner.
'Parallel Mothers' is notable storytelling from Pedro Almodóvar. Performances by Penélope Cruz and Milena Smit shine bright in a soap opera with significantly dramatic moments.
'Nightmare Alley' is Guillermo del Toro's first film since the Oscar-winning 'The Shape of Water,' although his newest movie isn't quite all that it has been hyped up to be.
'Don't Look Up' is the definition of a guilty pleasure movie. Adam McKay's blend of comedy and drama doesn't always work, but Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence deliver a fun time at the movies.
'Being the Ricardos' is a charming biopic. Aaron Sorkin doesn't get swallowed up by the iconic nature of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem are phenomenal.
'West Side Story' is gleaming when it focuses on its supporting cast. However, Steven Spielberg's marvelous direction isn't enough to save the movie's core love story issues.
Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Licorice Pizza' is a real charmer. It's witty, enthralling, and tremendously well-acted by newcomers Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman.
