La délicatesse (2011)
Didn't Quite Work
It's a classic Hollywood story but it doesn't work because there is zero chemistry between the two main characters.
The cast is great but, at the end of the day , we just don't care.
Girlfriend in a Coma (2012)
A Bit if a Bomb
It is hard to imagine that the Bill Emmott who was a distinguished editor of The Economist for 13 years during which time he doubled its circulation would have associated himself with such an awful piece of video journalism. The story wanders all over the place, the graphics are a joke (in contrast to The Economist's long standing excellence at identifying and presenting telling data in easily comprehensible form), key messages appeared as typeface on the screen rather than as spoken word, burying the message completely, and the purpose of the animations escaped me completely.
Mr. Emmott should probably stick to the written word.
Gisaengchung (2019)
It's a Long Time Since I Walked Out of a Movie
What a wreck of a movie; filled with thoroughly loathsome characters plodding through a sophomoric plot towards a thoroughly predictable end (we didn't bother to hang around to confirm our expectations but having now read some of the reviews I see we weren't far off the mark).
The frequently high ratings for this travesty leave me totally mystified.
