Mini-Reviews - 2021 Edition

Usually, I prepare this type of article near the end of each year and upload mini-reviews that I have in store for a few films I didn’t have time to write a full opinion piece on. I’m going to do things differently in 2021 so that I can publish my thoughts on every movie I see this year without missing a single one. Even with much fewer films in 2020, I still found myself struggling with time, so I expect 2021 will go down the same road, sooner or later.

Therefore, this article will contain the same concise opinions you’ve seen in other pieces like this. Small reviews of some movies I can’t afford the time to write 800+ words on due to external situations that might occur in my life. In most cases, these are going to be films that won’t have that much of an impact on my year-end reflection of the best/worst movies I’ve seen in 2021.

This section will be updated each time I add a new entry, as well as its date of publication, so these compact opinions can be seen by everyone at any time.
