Ultraman Rising Review
Ultraman Rising is an entertaining superhero movie based on the classic Japanese character. The summary praises the film's engaging action sequences and likable characters, particularly highlighting the lead performance.

Amagloria Review
Amagloria is depicted as an intimate drama focusing on the poignant relationship between two characters. The summary commends the exceptional child performance that drives the emotional narrative, providing a realistic portrayal of a motherly bond.

Freud's Last Session Review
Freud's Last Session, based on a play, is portrayed as a talky two-hander featuring the fictional encounter between Sigmund Freud and C.S. Lewis. Anthony Hopkins' performance is highlighted as engaging, delivering wit and depth to Freud's character. However, the film's extended dialogue and lack of cinematic expansiveness are noted as drawbacks, making it more suitable for small screen viewing.
