The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024)
Not bad.
It reminded me of An Unfinished Film (2024), in which actual social media posts were included, and the graphic novel Woman, Life, Freedom (2024), headed by Marjane Satrapi, which was sparked off by the death of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian student arrested by the morality police in Tehran on 13th September 2022.

The Gorge (2025)
Struggled to stay awake. Maybe if this was watched in a threatre, the experience may be different. Especially in regards to how the sound design will be appreciated.
That aside, the plot is pretty basic and shallow. It's the black is black, white is white, evil is evil and noting else and needs to be destroyed type of film. Hard for me to like it since I was hardly conscious throughout. I kept drifting in and out of consciousness from about one third in.
Thought maybe more could be done with the premise. And Sigourney Weaver's character in the film reminds me of all that I didn't like about how Amanda Waller's character is depicted in a shallow way in the DC movies (and sometimes in the comics).

Stranger Eyes《默視錄》(2024)
Didn't really like.
The dialogue feels off. As much as I complain about Singapore cinemas screening HK films in Mandarin dubbed versions, hearing the dialogues in this film feels a bit like... is this how they actually speak in the SG I know?
The film has a big idea, which I think revolves around surveillance cameras and such, but it also misses big and winds up feeling shallow, with ideas and character designs that feel inadequately thought out.
