Little Women (2019)

I liked most of the performances, particularly Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh and Meryl Streep. I liked the direction. There were also some great lines. But I didn't really connect with the story. And was distracted and kind of dozed off for most of the front bits. I woke up around a scene at the beach, and pretty much stayed awake for the rest of the film.

How to Ting (2019)

a.k.a. Happy Old Year.

Liked the idea of what it means to let go of things. I drifted into zzz land halfway but came back somewhere later.  More art film than mainstream. I didn't feel as engaged as I wished I was.

Kim Ji-Young, Born 1982 (2019)

Nice! Liked the performances and the direction. The theme also stood out as poignant for me.

Wira (2019)

I actually enjoyed this. I love the fights. The hot bods. Abang Yayan in action. This was mostly an entertaining and mindless action flick with a generous dose of choreographed violence, and human moments that make me go... nice. Will probably keep the young ones at home, but should be fine for older teenagers.

Ford v. Ferrari (2019)

Didn't quite take to it. Was tired and dozed off near the start, but was awake from the point when Ferrari was speaking to Ford's employee. On hindsight, I liked the corporate culture depicted, and found it especially relevant.

Scales (2019)

I probably need to watch this again as I fell asleep. Nice B&W cinematography.
