Dear Tenant《親愛的房客》(2020)

Nice!

Slow pace tearjerker with moments of light laughter. Great acting from the main cast and I love the kid who has a look that says he doesn't give a fuck. I didn't quite get the reason for ending the film the way it did, but overall, I really liked this one for the most parts.

Bombshell (2019)

Nice! Learnt a lot about what it is like to be sexually harassed, and learnt also a bit about what America is like. Great performances.

The Diam Diam Era 《我们的故事之沉默的年代》(2020)

Enjoyed it on a personal level for the most parts. Very patchy narrative, enjoyed some of the performances. There is a stereotype joke at the expense of a certain body type, which I didn't appreciate.  Some scenes are good at stirring certain basic emotions, but the uneven narrative doesn't really build on these strengths.

The Two Popes (2019)

Nice! Very strong performances from all. And a drama that unfolds like a thriller. Kind of.

Fathers (2016)

Didn't really take to the story or direction. Nat Sakdatorn has an infectious smile and looks good, IMHO.

His House (2020)

Not bad. One of those thinking person horror films. Pretty much like the storytelling and the performances. It's on Netflix, but I thought this would look really nice on a big screen.

The Trail of the Chicago 7 (2020)

Not too bad. Good performances.
