  • My Broken Love Story

    1. My Broken Love Story

    Taiwanese Special - 2020, 2 episodes

    9.5

    It's amazingly shot and has a lot of symbolism. I won't spoil anything. All I'll say is that I've seen it several times and I'm still trying to figure it out. It's mesmerizing and haunting.

  • Your Name Engraved Herein

    2. Your Name Engraved Herein

    Taiwanese Movie - 2020

    8.0

    This was visceral and raw, which I did expect. However, I did not realize just to what extent it would be. I don't recommend this to most people due to its sensitive content, however, I found it very impactful and worthwhile a watch.

    Despite its many dark moments (which isn't a negative) it managed to incorporate some instances of comedy and a few moments of peacefulness to get you through it.

    Would I rewatch it? I think maybe I would at least one more time so I could sort out some layered pieces of dialogue and instances of double-meanings and/or deceit. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

    Can be found on Netflix

  • We Are Gamily

    3. We Are Gamily

    Taiwanese Movie - 2017

    8.0

    It dealt with the situation in a funny way and managed to keep a pretty light tone throughout.

    Family should support you.

    If their excuse is that they're scared about society not supporting/accepting you, then they should do it.

  • The Substitute

    4. The Substitute

    Taiwanese Movie - 2017

    8.0

    This was pretty good. The chemistry, motivations, and acting really sold it. The actual beats of the story didn't fit at times. It was the characters that truly carried it.

  • Secrets in the Hot Spring

    5. Secrets in the Hot Spring

    Taiwanese Movie - 2018

    9.0

    This was SO fun and funny! And the Gay undertones and overall Queer vibes only added to it.

    Can be found on Netflix

  • Marry My Dead Body

    6. Marry My Dead Body

    Taiwanese Movie - 2022

    8.5

    This was an odd watch for sure, with humor that was often overly ridiculous and crude, but it eventually grew on me in a way, even though it wouldn't normally be my style.

    For an off-the-wall watch with some creativity, I say, why not give it a try?

  • Dear Tenant

    7. Dear Tenant

    Taiwanese Movie - 2020

    8.0

    This was a difficult watch. Going into it I knew it had a sad ending. Still hurt anyway :(

    Can be found on GagaOOLala or AppleTV

  • U Loves You

    8. U Loves You

    Taiwanese Movie - 2021

    7.5

    Honestly, I'm a bit puzzled. It's intentionally erotic but also trippy to a confusing point. But, I almost don't mind it.

  • Pair of Love

    9. Pair of Love

    Taiwanese Movie - 2010

    7.5

    A pretty good short film. It was quiet and soothing the majority of the time and the characters were mature in their thinking. I enjoyed it for the most part.

  • Light

    10. Light

    Taiwanese Movie - 2021

    7.0

    Not as good as Your Name Engraved Herein and some steps down in intenseness but intense nonetheless. Overall, it was alright. One moment made me think, "What the hell?!" though.

  • The Immeasurable

    11. The Immeasurable

    Taiwanese Movie - 2021

    7.0

    They managed to create chemistry between them quickly, but I would have liked to have had more detail about the protest and a more built-up ending. Otherwise, it was still a quality short film.
