Walruse ★ 7.0

"A slow and mellow feelgood comedy with some subtle absurdist touches about the career woman taking a break to a quiet island village. Works well as a lifter upper when life is heavy. But it also has an unintentional dark flip side once you start analyzing it; A mysterious central leader that promotes a low nutrition diet while collecting "gifts" and leading collective "merci" exercises in the sun and spending days doing introspective "twilighting" and projecting carefree happiness on a secluded location with limited outside communications... Is this a cult in the making? Yes, I'm joking. Maybe."

Alunauwie ★ 8.0

"Megane follows Taeko, a woman seeking quiet who instead confronts unwanted interactions that slowly teach her the value of slowing down. Through minimal dialogue, gentle rhythms, and a sunlit island setting, the film portrays transformation not through conflict but through acceptance and presence. It becomes a meditative reminder that true calm is not something we chase, but something we learn to allow.
