Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is brutal, relentless, and strangely touching. All the protagonist wants is to save his sister, but his actions trigger a chain of violence and revenge spiraling out of control. Vengeance upon vengeance... where does it end?

Visually, the film is amazing. You can tell every shot was carefully composed, nothing feels accidental. Interesting camera angles, scenes staged and choreographed with precision. The cinematography feels thoughtful and intentional throughout.

At times, the absurdity hits so hard you can't help but laugh, even though you probably shouldn't.

Definitely not a feel-good movie, but one that sticks with you. I might still need some time to fully process it.

This film hit a nerve.

It's not about explosive drama, it's about the quiet, suffocating violence of emotional entanglement: love laced with dependency, boundaries blurred. The daughter is stuck in a role she never chose, blamed for not doing enough, while slowly disappearing in the process.

The constant reaching for water feels symbolic, an effort to swallow discomfort, avoid truth, dilute tension. Conversations dissolve, emotions go undigested.

Visually stunning in its discomfort: blinding brightness clashes with sudden darkness. You're never quite at ease, and that's the point.

And then, unexpectedly, some moments are... funny? Not laugh-out-loud, but absurd in a way that's either painfully relatable or too surreal to take seriously. You're not always sure if the humor is intentional - which somehow makes it even better. Like dissociation in cinematic form.

Maybe too niche or emotionally raw for some. But if you know this kind of silence, the kind that weighs more than words, this film will find you.
