Movie toplist: 876 to 900
Suzhou River
![Suzhou River review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/suzhou-river.webp)
"The moody and vibrant city shots, the stand-out performance of Xun Zhou and the mysterious romance all add up to a slightly grittier film set in the outskirts of a booming Shanghai."
Sightseers

"Wheatley is a blessing for UK cinema."
Murmur of the Hearts
![Murmur of the Hearts review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/nian-nian.webp)
"After its big yet sudden peak in 2011, Taiwanese cinema seems to have subsided again."
Whisper of the Heart
![Whisper of the Heart review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/mimi-wo-sumaseba.webp)
"Kondo's first film is a perfect match for the Ghibli brand."
Like Father, Like Son
![Like Father, Like Son review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/soshite.webp)
"The characters are given ample room to thrive, the underlying drama is solid and the film features a stellar concept that intrigues even beyond the scope of its running time."
Guilty of Romance
![Guilty of Romance review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/koi-tsumi.webp)
"Guilty of Romance may not be Sono's brightest, most ambitious or most accomplished work, but it's a more than solid addition to Sono's already strong oeuvre."
Outrage: Coda
![Outrage: Coda review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/outrage-coda.webp)
"Coda serves a worthy ending to the trilogy, sporting an excellent cast, stark and beautiful cinematography and a stunning score."
Once Upon a Time in China II
![Once Upon a Time in China II review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/once-upon-china-2.webp)
"A vibrant action spectacle, sporting some of the most impressive fights in the genre, colorful background drama and perfect pacing that won't leave you a chance to get bored."
Modest Heroes
![Modest Heroes review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/modest-heroes.webp)
"Quality across the board with touches of originality sprinkled left and right, in order to keep things interesting. It's a pleasant, easy and slightly challenging watch that leaves you wanting more."
Her Granddaughter
![Her Granddaughter review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/otoko-issho.webp)
"Her Granddaughter is a beautiful, serene and heart-warming little drama with no false notes, no overt sentimentality and no obvious tear-jerking."
Platonic Sex
![Platonic Sex review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/platonic-sex.webp)
"This isn't a great film by a great director. It didn't kickstart Matsuura's career, nor did it kickstart Kagami's."
The Midnight Meat Train
![The Midnight Meat Train review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/midnight-meat-train.webp)
"The kills are gory, Jones is an amazing killer and Kitamura's direction is the right kind of flashy, which makes for a brutal, tense and very entertaining horror flick."
April Story
![April Story review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/april-story.webp)
"The film quickly won me over the second time around, thanks to the polished cinematography, a strong lead performance, a pleasant score, and some poignant moments."
Orochi - Blood
![Orochi - Blood review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/orochi.webp)
"The addition of the fantastical figure gives Orochi a somewhat novel feel though."
Summer Wars
![Summer Wars review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/summer-wars.webp)
"From the actual animation to the behavior of the little kids, running around with their DSes, Summer Wars will come off as surprisingly recognizable"
The French Dispatch
![The French Dispatch review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/french-dispatch.webp)
"An arsenal of quirky characters, terrific cinematography, a meticulously detailed universe and an incredible ease that defies belief, considering the extreme density. This is vintage Anderson."
I Belonged to You
![I Belonged to You review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/i-belonged-to-you.webp)
"Yibai Zhang's talent is beyond questioning. The stronger bits of his latest effort are stunning, dressed up in lush visuals and backed up by a strong soundtrack."
The Falls
![The Falls review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/falls-2021.webp)
"An incredibly capable film that oozes quality. From the stylish cinematography and the accomplished score to the strong performances and intriguing plot, Chung delivers quality across the board."
Jam Films S
![Jam Films S review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/jam-films-s.webp)
"Japan's animation anthologies tend to bring together the best in the genre while their live-action counterparts are more concerned with finding new talent."
Before Born
![Before Born review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/before-born.webp)
"It's obscurity stands in the way of easy availability and while it's definitely a good film, it lacks a little uniqueness to call it a true masterpiece."
Run for Love
![Run for Love review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/run-for-love.webp)
"There are no weak shorts, one exceptional piece and enough variation to breeze through its 140 minutes running time."
Tracing Shadow
![Tracing Shadow review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/tracing-shadow.webp)
"Mak and Ng gave the film a unique style and flavor while royally quoting older films from the genre. Amusing, fun and quite lovely to look at. Great fun altogether."
Nightmare Detective
![Nightmare Detective review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/akumu-tantei.webp)
"It's still a great film though. Even a slightly watered down Tsukamoto film is way better than most of the J-Horror films released in the past 15 years."
Liar Game: The Final Stage
![Liar Game: The Final Stage review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/liar-game-final.webp)
"Liar Game has a couple of minor flaws and doesn't quite escape its TV background, but it has plenty of positive elements to erase these minor shortcomings."
The Tall Man
![The Tall Man review](/thumbs/img/movies/935xauto/tall-man.webp)
"The Tall Man holds his punches until the very end, where it finally reveals itself as a film that cares very little about the Tall Man legend, instead focusing on more pressing and serious issues."
