NiuNiu - Film Fest Review
The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.

Song Woo-seok is a lawyer with no clients. When his friend's son is falsely accused of a crime and tortured, he takes up the case and the course of his life changes for good.
The film is a powerful narrative encompassing a theme that many people can identify with.
The biggest highlight of the film is easily the performance of Andrew Garfield. In his days since hanging up his Spiderman suit, Garfield has routinely churned out great performances, and Mainstream is no exception. He proves that he is willing to try anything and go anywhere in a character.
The movie is centered around the title character who goes on a Christmas adventure.
The clever but socially-awkward Tetê joins a new school, and she'll do anything to fit in.
Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
The problem isn’t that it’s bad. It's good. But it fails to stand out from a crowd of similar films.
