Masterful short Supercritical screens at the New Jersey Film Festival on Saturday, January 25, 2025
by Yuri Kim - published 2025-01-14
“We have just learned of a massive release of nuclear warheads, authorized by the United States.”
Those are the grim words uttered at the beginning of the short Supercritical. Heightening our anxiety (and our blood pressure), the stakes continue to stack, as we see names and faces being crossed out in red, and radio static cutting into the broadcast as the sound of sirens close in on us. Heavy sighs are emitted, temples are rubbed, and we see a lone scientist stooping over a tape recorder with a defeated look in her eyes.

Great short Chicken Broth Soup screens at the New Jersey Film Festival on Friday, January 24, 2025
by Yuri Kim - published 2025-01-12
It all starts with the buzzing of a fly. A woman with a cut on her lip stands crying while waiting in a hallway to see the body of her dead husband. The architecture surrounding her is uninviting. The coloring of the world is bleak, cold. The characters around her are careless and dismissive - a disinterested prosecutor who’s too preoccupied with his own phone calls, and a straight-faced doctor who clinically goes through the motions, step by step. What is the right thing to do in a world surrounded by impassion? What is fair? Is there really nothing one can do in a situation so hopeless? Or is that just an excuse to turn a blind eye? Like a persistent, buzzing fly, these questions prod and force us to jolt out of our comfortable seats while watching Chicken Broth Soup - directed and written by Deniz Büyükkırlı, who is known for her previous work on Pretty Little Liars (2015), Brave and Beautiful (2016), and Love Me As I Am (2013).
