American Sweatshop: Watched it recently at a film festival, not sure if it can be watched somewhere else yet. Overall i liked it, but wasn't blown away by it. Going into it i was expecting it to be a bit more like On Falling, which imo has a somwhat similar setting with both protagonists working terrible minimum wage jobs (in content management and a amazon warehouse respectively). But where On Falling was more quiet/bleak and documentary like, American Sweatshop leaned more into having a thriller angle. Also still weird seeing reddit as a social media site in a movie.

Little Forest: Recently watched the Korean version of Little Forest from 2018 to compare it to the Japanese one Little Forest: Summer/Autumn and Winter/Spring from 2014/15. It wasn't bad, but i have to say i vastly prefer the japanese one, which imo is amazing; Just the perfect mix of delicious food, nature, farming, cozy atmosphere and great character development. This one just didn't manage to create the same vibe.
