Eye For Film"The film is compellingly, playfully wayward, a documentary-leaning piece so sincere you might not entirely believe it to be a fictional construction until the credits roll." - we take a look at Mangosteen https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/mangosteen-2023-film-review-by-sunil-chauhan #film #experimental #ShortFilm #LFF2023

"While the end result is important, Hùng’s film is all about savouring the moment, something that becomes more urgent as it progresses - although talk of speed has little place in a film that unfolds with the pace and beauty of a flower." - we take a look at The Taste Of Things https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/the-taste-of-things-2023-film-review-by-amber-wilkinson #film #movies #food #71SSIFF #LFF2023 #CFF42 #NYFF61
