Maggie Lee Chief Asia Film CriticWho would have thought a romantic comedy on the pain of being different could become such ironic and timely viewing in a global pandemic? In “I Weirdo,” a kooky and innovative debut by Taiwanese writer-director Liao Ming-yi, a couple with OCD trying to fit in to so-called “normal” society now looks like social-distancing heroes in our Covid-hit, locked-down lives. Shot and edited by Liao using the iPhone XS Max, the production looks no less vibrant for it.
Richard Kuipers “A Life Turned Upside Down: My Dad’s an Alcoholic” casts a damning eye on the pernicious role alcohol plays in the working careers and social lives of Japanese men. Narrated by the innermost thoughts of a daughter during the 25 years she spends watching her father drink himself to death, Kenji Katagari’s second feature cleverly plays like a quirky little TV sitcom about an ordinary middle-class family before moving into darker territory.

In 2009, President Barack Obama deployed 30,000 troops to Afghanistan in what would later be dubbed “the longest war.” The men who sacrificed their lives provide the title for the documentary, “Father, Soldier, Son,” which questions whether leaving one’s family for months or years (or forever) is worth it? Directors Leslye Davis and Catrin Einhorn draw from one man’s journey—and, more importantly, interviews with his family—to explain the toll war can take on a military household.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticJuly 17 is the weekend that Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” was supposed to open, but in the face of the coronavirus outbreak, the world has folded back on itself like a scene from one of the director’s mind-benders.
Lisa Kennedy Throughout the U.S.’s decades-long war in Afghanistan, Americans have seen (perhaps even been part of) a scene played out thousands of times in airport terminals and on military tarmacs. While the permanent fixture aspect of the airport reunion should vex, the emotion of it never gets old.

Maggie Lee Chief Asia Film CriticImagine a Japanese version of “Pygmalion” in which the sculptor continues to caress slabs of marble even after Galatea has come to life. That is the unusual premise of “Romance Doll,” a marital drama in which a sex doll maker’s rapt obssession with his new prototype, leads to rejection of his human muse.
Katy Perry is relieved that her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, has experienced parenthood already with his and Miranda Kerr’s son, Flynn.“The good thing is that he has a kid that’s nine,” the singer, 35, said during a recent Hits Radio interview. “He’s been through it so when we were going to pick out strollers, he knew exactly the stroller.”The Grammy nominee explained, “Some of the strollers are very chic, they’ve got leather handles and blah, blah, blah.

Identifying Features, from first-time director Fernanda Valadez, is like water in the desert for the mostly myopic genre of "la frontera" action films that depict the migration crisis at the southern border of the United States.

Dennis Harvey Film CriticSnarled loops of time travel have proved a surprisingly versatile and rewarding fantasy-cinema trope in recent years, from the big-budget likes of “Edge of Tomorrow” to such enterprising indies as “Predestination,” not to mention comedies (“Palm Springs”), horror (“Happy Death Day”), romance (“Before I Fall”) and more.
