Aidan Rutman (’26): This movie was snubbed in the [Oscar] nominations: No Other Choice by Park Chan-wook. It’s a Korean thriller and it was great. I really am kind of shocked that it wasn’t nominated for Best International Feature because it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

Ava Torres (’29): One movie that I really liked recently was Song Sung Blue because it was kind of a niche topic.

Zoe Richman (’27): A movie that was kind of freaky was Bugonia. That one was so weird. The plot twists…. People We Meet on Vacation was also so good. People need to bring rom-coms back; there should be more rom-coms.
