This movie doesn't really follow a typical start-to-finish narrative it's moreso a “look at the journey of” these two people. Because of this some might find it boring but personally I ended up loving it- mostly because of the leads and the wonderful/sweet relationship that develops between them.
Don't be misguided by the posters or plot descriptions this movie is NOT about cheating.
I first watched this back in 2020 and still find myself thinking about it every so often. Always recommend!(Kim Ki Duk you are not missed).
I totally agree. Recently started watching because I saw my netflix is removing it next month and wow has it been dreadfully slow. Each point you made mirrors how I’ve felt while watching to a T!
Thank you so much for this in depth review. I was just considering to watch this however, after reading I think…
I suggest giving Jang Hyuk's “Bad Papa” a try! Family centered like this but much better in my opinion.
For something else in the spy-genre realm: 100% watch “Good Casting”! Action spy comedy which is very much what Family was trying to do, but done fantastically!
If I remember correctly “My Secret Terius” has a spy plot with a family centered dynamic as well.
And I will say “Vincenzo” does a good job at balancing serious and funny stuff, which I mentioned Family fails at horribly.
