Nika & Madison, Colony, The Seoul Guardians & Morte Cucina

KT

🍅3/5

"Colony feels like a mix of Yeon Sang-ho known works as well as a lens of current events. While the latter may not have been intentional, the genre's sameness weakened the narrative, as it lacked a compelling motivation for the premise."

🍅3.5/5

"Colony hooks you early with its premise and strong setup, only to slowly lose momentum. Whether it’s the pacing or the runtime, it never quite delivers on the promise of its opening acts. Still, an okay watch all things considered."

🦠2.5/5

"An intriguing premise, especially to have Thai women being the lens explored through the horror genre. However, some scenes were so male gaze infused as opposed to what could have been a celebration of raw feminine sexuality."

🍅3/5

"I liked the concept behind Morte Cucina and there are some strong performances throughout, but this one never quite clicked for me. Too many characters felt disconnected from the story it was trying to tell."

KT

🍅3.5/5

"Across television and film, it is a delight to have access to rich and layered Indigenous storytelling. While important topics were explored in Nika & Madison, it felt as though comfortability was prioritised over a truer, more complex lens."
