This sweaty and grimy thriller didn’t quite work for me overall, but I couldn’t help but admire its fearless, go-for-broke attitude.

I’ve watched a few Christmas movies over the festive season, including this corny but charming 2006 romantic comedy about two women swapping homes and lives.
In the Mood for Love – Film Review
After a long break, I was back at the Astor Theatre for this sumptuous, melancholy romantic drama about unconsummated love in the 1960s Hong Kong.
Past Lives – Film Review
Gorgeous, mature and delicately bittersweet romantic drama about childhood sweethearts reconnecting over the years.
