Review of Atomic Blonde (2017)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 03 Aug 2017

Review of Get Out (2017)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 06 Apr 2017

Get Out is about how we should get out of our own abyss conditioned by familiarity and history, and it's one of the smartest films out there…

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 30 Mar 2017

Review of Moonlight (2016)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 10 Feb 2017

The best film among the Oscar's Best Picture nominees, Moonlight glows like an iridescent animal, tender in touch and sensitive to the…

Review of The Age of Shadows (2016)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 06 Jan 2017

In all, Kim Jee-woon may be a filmmaker not best-known for emotional subtlety, but with the right material he knows how to deliver the goods…

Review of Allied (2016)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 06 Jan 2017

For love, for country or for suspense, Allied packages the timeworn love-in-the-time-of-war trope with dutiful, uninspiring attention…

Review of Nocturnal Animals (2016)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 29 Nov 2016

It would be too much to call Ford's film a mere exercise in style, though it's also too much to think there's a lot more beneath what we're…

Review of Your Name. (2016)

Something like Your Name -- and rewatching the Ghibli films -- reminds us that the full potential of animated film to broaden the…

Review of Hell or High Water (2016)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 18 Aug 2016

For all the genre formula -- the robbing, the hideout, the chase, the ambush -- the film is less about thrills than about slow-burning…

Review of The Shallows (2016)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 29 Jun 2016

[Lively] deserves the credit here: first she is sunny and sentimental, then she grows desperate, tough, and just enough of a fatalist at the end…

Review of Queen of the Desert (2015)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 22 Jun 2016

Atypical of Herzog's solid style, Queen Of The Desert feels almost woozy, since the hard-edged adventure of Bell is rendered in an…

Review of Concussion (2015)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 10 May 2016

It is a little too earnest, too conventional, and too caught up in its own display of integrity…

Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 10 May 2016

It's still highly watchable, mainly because of the cast and the pawn-or-plotter dilemma that thrusts itself into Katniss's anxious…

Review of Furious 7 (2015)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 10 May 2016

The juvenile implausibility of the stunts has always been the strength of the franchise…

Review of Joy (2015)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 10 May 2016

Review of Grace of Monaco (2014)

By Kong Rithdee (124) for Bangkok Post (172) on 10 May 2016
