Yeonaeui Ondo (Very Ordinary Couple) (2012) Engagingly bitter romantic breakup for bank co-workers Kim Min-hee and Lee Min-ki embraces broad comedy and cruel recrimination before evolving sharper view of frailties and gnawing reality. Less effective background detail doesn't diminish brightly staged emotions.
Sai Gon Trong Con Mua (Saigon In The Rain) (2020) Melting pot of struggling musical dreams and rigid city realism underlines ambling plot that lives up to title as practical Thu Anh Ho and hopeful Avin Lu find romance. Tuneful songs, solid visuals and easy feel surprised by darker third act emotional twist and variable character rhythms.
Turbulence (2025) Genre narrative setup and twists within confined setting of out of control hot air balloon as melancholic Hera Hilmar and ruthless Jeremy Irvine's attempt to revive relationship wrecked by predictably vengeful Olga Kurylenko. Efficiently paced yet widescreen visuals and glossy colour scheme undermine tension.
See You Yesterday (2019) Defined by urban feel and neighborhood strains, agile staging entwines light sci-fi twists with social concerns as gifted teens Eden Duncan-Smith and Danté Crichlow create time travel backpacks. Variable pace never quite balances narrative concerns and flubs satisfactory resolution.
Doctor Strange (2019) Anchored by cast adept at selling broad emotions and throwaway lines, origin story for sardonically arrogant Benedict Cumberbatch's portal-hopping, time-stretching sorcerer proves agreeably diverting. Glossy design and enveloping visual effects though little dramatic tension.
Superbad (2007) Boastfully raunchy dialogue and prurient sexual frustration feed barrage of physical and verbal gags as teenage Jonah Hill and Michael Cera struggle to get alcohol to Emma Stone's party while Christopher Mintz-Plasse befriends infantile cops Seth Rogen and Bill Hader. Some solid laughs support tangible friendship.
Imaginary (2024) With simplistic plotting yet convoluted exposition, kids author DeWanda Wise's creativity feeds on childhood nightmares, with sinister origins picked up by young stepdaughter. After mid-point twist, plotting increasingly drains any suspense, not helped by murky, wide-screen visuals.
