Review of "Parasite"

Very good with lots of excellent acting and visual touches plus a good story - up until the end which is a deus-ex-machina cop-out. Entertaining as it is to see the rich slaughtered and social snobbery get its comeuppance, it really could have been resolved more satisfactorily. (I don't know how!)

Review of "Minding the Gap"

Initially I was unsure what I was watching, or why I should be interested in a bunch of kids on skateboards but a dark understory emerged that made it really interesting. With the director an active participant this is not pure observational documentary but has elements of both film about film and staged or scripted document.
