Desire, Hostility, Delusion is a movie that deals with some really heavy subject matter. And it does so with no skill or subtly or quality. Every single aspect of this movie is abjectly bad. 1.7/10

Tormenting the Hen felt like the product of a writer’s retreat; calibrated and intentional but potentially out of touch with an audience beyond other creatives. 4.7/10

Chedeng and Apple is dark, it’s funny and it also has a truly beautiful amount of heart to it. 7.6/10

Get ready to yearn in harmony , because Farewell Song will make you do just that. 7.1/10
