Broker is a very poignant and sweet and engaging film from start to finish. It takes a very gentle and subtle approach at all times that makes for a very relaxing and meditative experience, despite the fact that it is often dealing with very serious issues.
Mostly this gentleness and subtlety comes from the performances and the style. Song Kang-Ho gives a terrific performance as do the whole cast. They each have their own complexities and issues that come to light and are intriguing to explore and discover.
The direction is beautiful, capturing the characters and the scenery perfectly. Visually the film is nice and rewarding.
I think the story is where the film needed the most work. At times it felt a little fractured and didn't really come to fruition in a satisfying way.
Overall though Broker is a very strong film with lots to offer.
