Left-Handed Girl (2025) 98% 4/5 EDIT “In Left-Handed Girl, the main characters aren’t just the actresses in the leading roles. There’s also the scooter I-Ann rides and the table Shu-Fen makes her noodles on. ” – Digital Mafia Talkies Nov 28, 2025 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% 3.5 EDIT “I think it’s quite moving that Kristen Stewart’s directorial debut feels almost like an extension of her acting debut through the theme of abuse. ” – Digital Mafia Talkies Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Maintenance Required (2025) 38% 1/4 EDIT “I really didn’t want to be so negative in this review, because I try to maintain that movies are hard to make and there might be something likeable about them underneath all the garbage. However, Maintenance Required tested my patience.” – Digital Mafia Talkies Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Alpha (2025) 56% 3/4 EDIT “Imagine if COVID were amplified a 100 times and then some, in a world filled with paranoid kids and horrified adults. But Alpha is about contaminated needles and a contagious illness that spreads through them. ” – Digital Mafia Talkies Oct 8, 2025 Full Review The Map That Leads to You (2025) 38% 2.5/5 EDIT “I’m not sure why there’s this need in a romance for one character to bring alive another, to show them the world in a new light. This is what makes the movie a little bit dull to me. I do think that it’s mainly the timing that has not worked in its favor” – Digital Mafia Talkies Aug 31, 2025 Full Review One Hit Wonder (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “For a romance movie, One Hit Wonder is barely a one-star film. While there is some chemistry between the two actors, there is no actual romance, and it all happens so fast, just through montages, which I genuinely didn’t enjoy. ” – Digital Mafia Talkies Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Gold Rush Gang (2025) 1.5/5 EDIT “In Gold Rush Gang, we see loads of plotlines intertwining to give us a convoluted comedy that overstimulates our senses. This movie is 2 hours long, and that’s 2 hours too long in my opinion.” – Digital Mafia Talkies Aug 31, 2025 Full Review The Thursday Murder Club (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “All things considered, what I enjoyed the most about The Thursday Murder Club is that it treats its elderly as human beings with pasts and personalities rather than just caricatures.” – Digital Mafia Talkies Aug 31, 2025 Full Review Love Untangled (2025) 3/5 EDIT “If you want to feel nostalgic and enjoy an easy breezy film, then go for Love Untangled, but I’ll ask you to manage your expectations because if you go in with them as high as the Namsan Tower, you might find the film way too flat for your liking. ” – Digital Mafia Talkies Aug 31, 2025 Full Review My Oxford Year (2025) 29% 3/5 EDIT “I think it’s quite unfortunate how [Sofia Carson] has the acting range but not the characters that she deserves to show off that range on.” – Digital Mafia Talkies Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Fragment (2024) 3/5 EDIT “I can’t imagine it’s easy to evoke such deep emotional performances from such young stars, but director Kim Seong-Yun does it in his first feature film. ” – Digital Mafia Talkies Jul 29, 2025 Full Review A Normal Woman (2025) 3/5 EDIT “There are notes of horror sprinkled through this movie, and that is specifically in the way that it embodies so well the dominant trend in new-gen horror today—body horror. ” – Digital Mafia Talkies Jul 28, 2025 Full Review Wall to Wall (2025) 59% 3/5 EDIT “Without giving anything away, I think this is a film that is character-driven and focuses on the psychological effects of housing debt and then builds on that idea.” – Digital Mafia Talkies Jul 28, 2025 Full Review
