It's nice to pass the time with a stranger
Bodies in the basement
A bank teller who feels no physical pain falls head over heels in love and gets involved in a robbery. His rare condition only helps when he gets mixed up in a showdown between cops and criminals. Novocaine is a nicely over-the-top dark comedy, but not particularly well-acted and, frankly, easily forgettable and cheap entertainment.

Dreams growing darker
The edge of the world
Basically, this should be a really emotionally touching film. A sob story where the other person ends their earthly journey prematurely. Maybe there's something wrong with the chemistry between the actors - Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield - because the impact of the story is a bit weak. In addition to this, the narrative jumps from one time period to another throughout the film, which is functional and quite fun, but annoying in the long run. And on the other hand, if it has been presented in linear form, the film would be infinitely ordinary.

Apparitions in the dust
When a Korean diplomat is kidnapped and hidden in Lebanon for over a year, Korean authorities decide to send another diplomat to the war-torn country to pay the ransom and bring the victim home safely. Of course, it doesn't work that easily. Ransomed, by Kim Seong-hun, is a delightfully exciting and captivating film. One car chase scene is downright magnificent.

Don't look like a reckless snacker
The world gets bigger
A widowed mother finds herself caught in the crossfire of Jordanian bureaucracy. Even custody of her daughter is at risk! Inshallah a Boy is an educational story about how things and laws that you consider to be everyday and safe can be the exact opposite somewhere else. A surprisingly engaging film all the same. Directed by Amjad Al Rasheed.

Suffering is love
Falling snow drowning in the flood
It's nice to pass the time with a stranger
This is oppressive and crazy, but the atmosphere is hidden under the long-windedness and unnecessary mania. The story of a lonely hermit liv...
