“The Good Doctor” is more than just a medical drama; it’s an engaging and strong portrait of the life of Shaun Murphy, a young brilliant surgeon with autism and Savant syndrome, setting him apart in the surroundings of a high-esteem hospital. It sensitively interweaves faith, compassion, and other complicated human relationships that give viewers deep…
“The White Lotus” is a show, eh? You know, it really must be the keyhole view into that world of luxury and human complexity. Consider this plush resort, with rich guests mingling with dedicated staff, and their secrets, desires, and class conflicts all start to unwind within the span of a week. Isn’t this kind…
“The Godfather” is a film that superficially explores the themes of family, power, and morality in-depth. Weaved within the narrative is that of an organized crime syndicate, led by Don Vito Corleone, from whose pinnacle one is forced at the very core to ponder some very deep questions about morality, loyalty, and the consequences of…

Let’s talk about “Here.” It isn’t exactly an everyday film, but more the motif of a travelogue, a quiet perambulation in and around Brussels with Stefan, a construction worker from Romania who is not simply but an entity trying to find his way in a world of mixed familiarity and the strangeness of it all….
Meet this film about kinds of kindness—a dark-colored film that does not avoid anything for throwing open the underside of human rapprochement. This isn’t one for easy popcorn entertainment but delves into those deep, dark waters where issues of control, choice, and no small measure of the dark collide in relationships.
