Review of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

By Wenlei Ma (213) for News.com.au (213) on 15 Nov 2017

By Wenlei Ma (213) for News.com.au (213) on 26 Oct 2017

Everything about it feels like it tried too hard to be something more, that it does far too much telling and not enough showing…

Review of Home Again (2017)

By Wenlei Ma (213) for News.com.au (213) on 18 Oct 2017

Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

By Wenlei Ma (213) for News.com.au (213) on 03 Oct 2017

Review of Gender Wars (2015)

Review of Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

By Wenlei Ma (213) for News.com.au (213) on 20 Sep 2017
