While the Women Are Sleeping
While the Women Are Sleeping is a fine mystery/thriller. The film looks great, sports a good soundtrack, has a perfect cast and handles both its mystery and its audience with the proper respect.
Amusing e-sports film. Doesn't differ too much from a regular sports film to be honest, but Wang (not the famous one) executes it rather well. The in-game scenes are a little cheesy and the ending is pretty predictable, but it's a fun and harmless diversion from start to finish.
A decent enough drama that links five different stories to a single store where the various main characters cross paths. It's a cute setup and each of the stories is pleasant enough, but the film isn't quite distinctive enough to leave a strong impression the second time around. It's just decent filler. Keitel and Whitaker are the stand-outs here, but the entire cast is solid. The pacing is slow but enjoyable, the characters are charming and the structure of the plot is inviting. It's just that the overall presentation is tepid and unexciting. It wasn't a terrible film to revisit, but it's not as great as I remembered.Read all
A very cheesy and predictable romcom. I hadn't been disappointed by Wang yet, but this is definitely a first. The story is lame and moralistic, Latifah is a rather poor lead and the secondary roles aren't any better. At least the setting is lush and luxurious, but that's about the only positive thing here.
