Now showing around town… maybe streaming.
Burn Baby, Burn
Looking for a new career? Check out Cesium Fallout and consider the civil service.
A Boy and his Dog
The black dog and Eddie Peng are a pleasure in Guan Hu's Black Dog. The rest not so much.
Silent Torment
A Place Called Silence once again takes us to an anonymous SEA hellhole. I’m tired.
Legally Dead

Hard Times
Huang Ji’s contemporary China trilogy wraps with Golden Horse winner Stonewalling.
‘Walking’ the Line
Johnny Keep Walking! has a delicious satirical bite – until it doesn’t.
Overflowing
The Chinese noir boom chugs along, this time with Wei Shujun’s Only The River Flows. It’s less bonkers than some.
Your Point?
Capa Xin aims for a dissection of modern media but ends up with a social media spanking in Trending Topic.
Law & Disorder
