📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 17✅ The Room Next Door (2024)

Pedro Almodóvar’s contemplative movie about death and friendship. I kept expecting it to take a film noir turn, that it unfortunately did not. Left me meh.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 17✅ ‘Next Sohee’ (2022)

Bae Doona is a female detective who traces the cause of high school girl's death. She faces the truth of the harsh reality of a shockingly broken system that strips hope and humanity from the most vulnerable.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 14✅ ‘Burning’

Captivating, exploring mysteries and class struggles, with hefty metaphors and symbolism that had me running to Reddit for clarity. This is a slow burn that is hauntingly engrossing, that I’m looking forward to watching again and again.

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 14✅ ‘The Tower’ (2012)

This Korean ‘Towering Inferno’ is a rollercoaster ride, fantastic sfx with characters you care about 🔥🔥🔥

I’m not so sure I’ll ever feel the same way about glass elevators or skywalks again 😱

📽️ #MovieChallenge Week 14✅ ‘Fahrenheit 451’ (2018)

I’m not a purist when it comes to book adaptations, but the changes here are nonsensical. They literally burned Ray Bradbury’s novel and replaced it with social media nonsense instead of social commentary.
