- DirectorNoah BaumbachStarsAdam DriverScarlett JohanssonJulia GreerNoah Baumbach's incisive and compassionate look at a marriage breaking up and a family staying together.this film depict an honest and brutal look on how circus-like a divorce case can be in U.S, but at the central of it is the film's heart, the married couple and their nature to navigate their desire though the intricacies of the human and legal problems. every elements of the film feels very natural and believable, very creative and funny with the comedic parts, and powered by the spectacular performances by Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver. truly one of the best of the year.
- DirectorBong Joon HoStarsSong Kang-hoLee Sun-kyunCho Yeo-jeongGreed and class discrimination threaten the newly-formed symbiotic relationship between the wealthy Park family and the destitute Kim clan.probably Joon-ho boong's best film i've watched. unlike Okja and Snowpiercer where you can feel the political aspects really present and kind of presented in a more hollywood way, in this film it's more implicit and the film focused more on how to make a very entertaining 2 and a half hour film. a near perfect film
- DirectorQuentin TarantinoStarsLeonardo DiCaprioBrad PittMargot RobbieA faded television actor and his stunt double strive to achieve fame and success in the final years of Hollywood's Golden Age in 1969 Los Angeles.an unlikely and surprisingly warm-hearted film by Quentin Tarantino. it's a love letter to his childhood and hollywood, it tend to be personal but knowing Tarantino of course it is very creative and entertaining as well. can't wait for his tenth film already.
- DirectorCéline SciammaStarsNoémie MerlantAdèle HaenelLuàna BajramiOn an isolated island in Brittany at the end of the eighteenth century, a female painter is obliged to paint a wedding portrait of a young woman.it's a film chronicling love between two women with a unique background story. it's their chemistry built by their dialogues that actually raise this film to another level. some unconventional ways to express certain feelings or even to reveal certain crucial moments. one of the best film about relationship between two women (which is not a lot btw).
- DirectorMarielle HellerStarsMatthew RhysTom HanksChris CooperBased on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Lloyd Vogel.it's rare in this age where we see character like Mr. Rogers in a film, i'm not only talking about his traits but his presence as a film character. it has the vibe of 40's films (It's a Wonderful Life, Here Comes Mr. Jordan) where his character is the absolute virtuous, and as viewers we want him around because of the warm and secure feelings that we longing.
- DirectorSteven SoderberghStarsGary OldmanAntonio BanderasAJ MeijerA widow investigates an insurance fraud, chasing leads to a pair of Panama City law partners exploiting the world's financial system.i'm glad that i watched the film knowing nothing about the premise so i don't have to compare it with The Big Short and The Wolf of Wall Street just like others who "knows everything about film". I enjoyed it thoroughly as an entertainment craft (very good and interesting characters and also unique crafting of storytelling) and now i know alot more about the world of tax haven.
