Movie Reviews - March 8, 2009

Just a couple of reviews this week.

Still Walking (Japan)

On the surface, Hirokazu Kore-eda's family comedy-drama is only an observation of a day in the life of a family. However, it's really a rich, multi-layered character(s) study with a surprisingly gentle tone.

Basic Love
(HK)

For pure love fluff aimed at pre-teen girls, Basic Love suffices. However, by every other measure the film lacks, and even occasionally bores. Featuring Janice Man's most appealing performance and some odd directorial choices from Oxide Pang.
