The 2022 crop is somewhat disappointing, and predictably dour.

Mark Feeney

Boston Globe

This year’s five Oscar-nominated live-action short films come from seven countries (two are joint productions). Which makes all the more striking the universality of the emotions on display.

Rated: 3/4

Cinema Sight

[on Ala Kachuu] It shines a light on just how difficult life can be for women in a country where tradition dictates a woman’s lot in life as a wife and mother rather than as an autonomous figure capable of self-determination.

Rated: 3.5/4

Of these, my favorite is probably the tender character study that is The Dress.
