Call of My Life

Call of my life is a love letter to craft, undone slightly by the love story itself. I remember seeing a tweet describing this movie as cringe, and I thought to myself: "Isn't that the foundation of every good or bad romance, every romcom worth its salt?" I hate to say…

i think i should start by saying i’m team kalu and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see much backstory exploration there. my favorite thing about this film has to be the visuals. eli’s costume design was literally pushed to our faces to remind us that she’s “whimsical” and i…

There's a meet cute scene in here that attempts to draw you into its dialogical intelligence and accidental wit, not unlike the plays of Oscar Wilde or David Mamet. It's neither impassive nor fraught with benign direction — one may very well be inclined to call it decent…

every other part of this film is great, except the romance between the main leads, which is odd.  it felt like they were saying words and i didn’t see any of what was being said. ironic considering they made sure we knew how important being seen and heard was important to…
