If you watch something smooth and slow with much romance style, this is the one. This also seen as another backed by Korean government promoted films. There is not much story but it emphasized on humans slow and nonconfidence is doing something that is difficult or lost will. However, if the director can add more thrills, it will be better.

I watched this movie because I am a fan of the Korean band Se So Neon who did the song Winter on the movie's OST. The video for the song gives you a good sense of the movie itself. Although the plot isn't overly dramatic and there wasn't a lot of tension, I felt that the actors made me care about them and there is just enough plot to get to know what motivates them. A lot of emotions is shown through expression rather than through talking which is something that I appreciate in Asian films.

I recently watched two other Korean movies with female protagonists House of Hummingbird and Kim Ji-young: Born 1982. There is one thread that seems to run through them all and that is Korea's cultural view of women. In all 3 of these movies there was mention or implication that the boy's in the family were the most revered among the siblings. It's maybe more examined in the two other movies I mentioned but it is something that had affected the mother in this story when she was a teenager. I have been living in Korea for a number of years and often wonder if that male centered ideology is changing with the new generations having kids of their own. I hope so.

Moonlit winter is a stunning movie. The actresses are natural and the scenery is pretty. I wish I could've seen it at the theater.

This movie really reminded me of the film Carol, and I literally loved it so much. It's overall pretty chill and slow paced, but it just portrayed winter very well in the film (it's one of those movies i'll be looking for on a winter morning). I also loved this film because it didn't over sexualize queer women relationships, but covered the topic pretty well. 100% recommended!!

Photography, lighting is very beautiful beautiful (especially several snow heaven and earth and indoor arrangement), but the film isn't label her piece, the body is not her mood ji yao, really rare to see such not dog blood clean finished a story of Korean movie, love between women as white as snow and ice crystal and quiet in heart, saw for the first time.
