Despite its run time being in the 90 minute range, the film felt slow and far too long. It’s frustrating because I think Replay could be an interesting movie if it just did more. But it didn’t. 4.9/10
I think I would’ve really enjoyed The Monkey’s Mask novel. But the movie adaption of said novel? Meh. 4.7/10
Like any subgenre, there are good films and bad ones. The Gymnast isn’t really either. It’s a pretty middling movie overall. 6.0/10
Saying that Summer Lover is like a bad soap opera would be an insult to bad soap operas. 2.6/10
The Countess has a base level of competence that stops me from calling it out and out bad. However, personally, I was greatly disappointed by this film. 5.9/10
