"Wobble Palace" is a great dramedy that uses millenial culture to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of modern relationships and how we deal with loneliness in the modern world. The movie's couple is unsatisfied with the state of their relationship, so they are always trying to find refuge by going out or trying to connect with other people instead of just finishing their love ties. But they can't, because their fond memories hold them back and they don't know where to go next. There is a line in the film that says that "Two betta fishes in the same bowl will start to fight each other, and one of them is going to die". This basically sums up most of the movie (even if in a much expository manner). The realistic characters and dialogue ooze out of the screen, but the, sometimes, inconsistent style and the vaguely political message end up hurting the overall experience a little bit.

"12 Angry Men" sticks you to the screen and never lets you go with its dialogue, scene blocking, and acting. This movie is an emotional rollercoster by Lumet and it all happens in a single room. While in other films this choice would make it more monotonous in this one it makes it more compelling, making you thing with the characters about the case and the boy's innocence. I feel that if this movie was made nowadays it would probably have a reenactment scene of the murder or some kind of plot twist, like: He was guilty all along and Henry Fonda is character was his friend making fake evidences trying to make him look innocent.
