Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975)

Glad to have caught this 4K restoration of the film. Amazed that it's 50 years old, and the story within the film is set in 1900.

Overall, not too bad. Story is kind of simple but diverts towards human nature rather than resolving the mystery, which remains a mystery even at the end of the film.

Cocaine Bear (2023)

It's okay. Not entirely my cup of tea.

Miss Shampoo《請問,還有哪裡需要加強》(2023)

It's okay.

I kind of enjoy the humor, but I think a lot also flew over my head as I'm not fluent in Hokkien and Mandarin.

Loved the end credits. So silly.

The Brutalist (2024)

It's okay.

The ending didn't give a satisfying resolution of all the characters. Kind of.

But the film lingers. So I guess that's a strong suit of it?

Mongrel《白衣蒼狗》(2024)

Loved it for some strong performances and a steadfast direction. One of the best films of the past year, but one that may not appeal to all, IMHO. 

Wanlop Rungkumjad gives a strong performance. The plight of the old lady and her son was one of the story points that I found touching.
