Turning Point

About This Movie

Turning Point is a really interesting dive into the life of a middle-aged journalist, Yumiko, who's finally getting a shot at something bigger after years on the women's page. The pacing feels deliberate but not too slow, allowing you to really soak in her struggles and triumphs. There's an almost palpable tension in the air, especially as she navigates the often murky waters of editorial decision-making. The atmosphere is a blend of ambition and resilience, punctuated by solid performances that make you root for her. What stands out is how it captures the nuances of journalism and the personal stakes involved. Not a flashy film, but there's depth in the storytelling that resonates.
