Slow build thriller with bleak tones

This is a compelling human drama with slow building suspense and many shades of gray. With almost no sound track it has a raw connection to the characters that were both outcasts. It felt both hopeful and sad at the same time.

I'll give a warning... be prepared for profanity, physical abuse and mature themes. Its noir – cynical characters, bleak setting. It starts in the rain, and ends in the rain. If you are okay with that, then lets proceed.

When a director chooses to have no sound track, the focus in entirely on the acting, and these actresses produce. The woman actress Doona Bae and the girl actress Kim sae-ron are top notch.

In summary, I enjoyed the movie and cared for the characters. I felt it accomplished the unsettling, raw vibe the producer was going for. While it was not my typical style of movie to watch, it had a very haunting effect for days after. Due to its heavy and dark nature, I probably wouldn't watch it again anytime soon, but felt satisfied with the viewing.
