Gone With The Twins

Even when the pacing hiccups, or the plot dwells a touch too long on inessential sequences, the superbly-handled characters remain dependable sources of entertainment.

Rated: 8/10

Flick Feast

Never sacrificing the truth and authenticity of the characters... Lim’s screenplay taps into that deep melancholy that comes from dreaming of another life because one is unable, or unwilling, to find the positives in the life they currently have.

Rated: 3/5

For Da-Young and her family, her story is about the universal themes of approval and acceptance.

Battle Royale With Cheese

A sweet and emotionally-driven drama, B-Side: For Taylor will likely appeal greatly to its younger audience, and will provide comfort to those who struggle to reconcile their heritage with their culture.

Sadly, dangling narrative threads, a few overcooked performances and undeveloped themes keep For Taylor firmly on the b-side.

Rated: 2/5
