Reviews from film clubs
Bax (Movie Time), 8.25/10: Different from how I imagined it, but with great vibes and a lot of fun.
Monsieur Penguin (Movie Time), 7.75/10: A compelling and heartfelt film that continues to impress on rewatch, thanks to its strong writing, well-developed characters, and sincere emotional core.

However, despite its strengths, the film doesn’t quite reach its full potential. Certain omitted details from the source material feel significant in hindsight, and the story’s reluctance to fully explore the emotional and psychological consequences of its key developments limits its depth…
