- Story: Love it. Has a bit of everything. If you like Parasite (2019) or Secretly Greatly (2013), give this film a shot! Very cute at some points, yet very sad, ridiculous, funny, and heartwarming all at once. I really appreciate how it questions life on a broader scale.
- Characters/acting: Love the characters despite some of the bad things they do. All the actors did really well portraying their parts and tried their best to make it work with the style of the filming.
- Music: One word: minimal. It's a quieter film and very unlike your typical Hollywood blockbuster so don't expect flashy music. Every piece they used was noticeable and unexpectedly added a certain quality to the scene.
- Visuals: Interesting camerawork and not like much else I've seen before. Captured the scenes from different, weird, and occasionally awkward perspectives but that gave an overall quirkiness to the film.
NOT SO GOOD:
- Story/music: Given the budget of it, some of the feelings they tried to convey were slightly underwhelming and got a little confusing. I wasn't sure how to feel during a few scenes because it's one of those films that would receive different reactions from people of different cultures and backgrounds. And sitting in the cinema where people were laughing and I wasn't was.......... odd.
- Acting/visuals: May seem inauthentic sometimes because of the way it's filmed.
REWATCH: Not a rewatcher but I'd give this another go when I've forgotten all about it and the synopsis/plot summary doesn't do justice to it.
OVERALL: 8.5/10. Nothing in this film is overdone compared to others of similar genres. It's light(er) and opens up to another world of film.
