EFFECTS OF LYING
A British Asian family descends into chaos as a day goes horribly wrong when the patriarch fails to navigate the relationships with his wife and daughter.
This is a good, if at times by the numbers farce that hits all the right notes making us laugh one minute and feel warm and fuzzy the next.
GAGA (Tradition)
A look at a family belonging to the indigenous population of Taiwan, as they try to cope with events in the wake of the passing of the patriarch and the return of one of their members from abroad.
This is a low key drama that transports us to a place most of us have never been. Its a visually beautiful film that often delights the eye. If the film doesn't take us to some new high place of drama, it's still quite all right since this is a solid tale perfectly told.
BEAR MAN
How you like this over the top comedy will be determined by how you feel about the film and it's boisterous sense of humor. Nominally based on a myth about how bears can become human, the story actually focuses on two men who may or may not be North Korean bears who disappeared after eating mugwort and garlic.
Possessing broader humor than I am I normally like, it was not my kind of silly, BEAR MAN made me smile. While it didn't completely knock my socks off I was entertained
