I'm not 100% sold, but it has its charms.

Till We Meet Again《月老》(2021)

I generally like this even tho there's much I didn't go for - in particular, the logic of the story world and the depiction of the female characters which I felt were kind of standard social expectations of the female species.

That aside, this film does seem to know who its audience is. In the right moments, Kai Ko is cute, Gingle Wang is pretty when she's not hyping up the bad girl image and Vivian Sung is the standard pretty good girl.

IMHO, this film clicks when it comes to pulling the heart strings for the most parts.

Don't Look Up (2021)

I actually quite enjoy this. Mark Rylance is really good. There are also some moments that resonated with me, such as the dependence on data to forecast, and what motivates those in positions of authority, power and privilege.
