My farfetched dream the day more nitty-gritty, dark subject matter, yet heartwarming pictures reach the mainstream. Dark Subject matter such as Domestic Violence should not be brushed under the rug but discussed out in the open. The Director shot angles, and limited dialogues supplied the character's emotions brilliantly.
If a person likes aesthetic films, then the viewer will not be so quick to surmise the movie but anatomize the subject matter before them. Han Ji Min depicts a woman with deep scars suffered as a child. We see it in her beaten facial expressions and how she interacts with individuals. A person frequently will never lose that alleged bond with a family member. Han Ji Min's acting is superb the reclusive life she lives until that one fateful encounter with Kim Shi Ah's character.
Kim Shi Ah's role as a child suffering at the hands of child abuse is abrasive and alarming. We all know Domestic Violence occurs globally, but you wish some of these people have a heart of kindness, not a heart of stone. No child should suffer at the likes of being born. South Koreans breed adept child actors because it is no easy feat to portray that character.
The supporting cast was convincing, but the child's dad and his gaming addiction. SERIOUSLY!!! Other than that, it was sublime, especially the dad's eccentric girlfriend. It was no masterpiece, just a terrific film. I have not seen Mother (2018), yet so I can not comment on the similarities the film and drama share.
The colorless shots in the apartments to the airy sensation shots by the ocean enlightened us to their problems. The soundtrack elevated the movie, but it had its flaws that took away from my enjoyment.
Go into this film with an open mind. It may not be something you wish to watch as some dark subject matter you might not want to see visually. My advice if you do not like the first six minutes of the beginning, then DROP IT.
Final Rating: 8.47/10
Story: 9.10/10
Acting: 9.42/10
Rewatch Value is a 7.45/10. I would rewatch it, but only under certain circumstances.
