Al Majalla, a newspress_en publication, releases a twice-monthly review series of the latest films, both recent releases and occasional classic films. In a recent review, the publication covered the South Korean film "Possible Love" directed by Lee Chang-dong. The film, produced in the US and South Korea, revisits the theme of social inequality and class division through the story of Seok and Miok, a dismissed worker and his wife who find themselves in the midst of a wealthy documentary filmmaker and her husband after moving into their luxurious home.

The film explores ethical questions surrounding the filmmaker's appropriation of the couple's suffering for a film meant for an elite audience.
