Audience Reviews

Call Me Dunham 7/10 Feb 02, 2026
A strong debut from Aco Tenri. I appreciate how the comedy doesn’t rely solely on slapstick or cheap gags. I especially liked how the film delivers its emotional moments without excessive musical scoring—letting the scenes breathe. The balance between drama and comedy works well, and the film maintains a consistent tone from start to finish. That said, I’m still a bit unsatisfied with how some of the conflicts are resolved, as they feel too flat and underwhelming.
