Recalled

I registered to IMDB just to leave a 10* review for this movie.

Heartbreaking... Thrilling... Amazing cast... Brilliant performances... Credit goes to the entire team...story, screenplay, direction (debut!), acting, editing, sound...and so on. Kudos! Must watch! Brace yourselves for crying profusely (that's what happened with me!)

This is a very weird case...usually directors/writers have problems trying to conclude a story. Here, it's the opposite: the first act is bad and the film grows on the second and third act!

Watched this without expecting much of a plot or one that has already been used to death so needless to say I was really pleasantly surprised!

The first 30 mins could be a little confusing and slow but it built the story and the last 30 mins deserves a 10/10!

You will know that this is a film without much budget but the casting was perfect. Both actors brought depth to characters who would be otherwise dismissed easily. The acting was great honestly, really heartfelt and made you feel for the characters as the story went. Seo Yeaji outdid herself and Kim Kang Woo was solid in delivering his role.

The twist, ah the twist! You can't help but keep thinking that you had guessed the plot correctly as it goes but really, its not what you think it is.

I would say try not think about whether you got it right or wrong as the film goes and let yourself be surprised by it.

Tissues are not necessary but highly recommended for the ending lol.

All in all a good watch and will probably be one of the few thrillers I see myself going back to.

First off, kudos to Director Seo Yoo Min for her amazing directorial debut. A script and production that took years in the making and it totally got delivered beautifully by the whole cast and crew. The plot twist, unlike any other. 99 Minutes of the whole movie airtime that is just effectively brought to live with lively pace by the editing team, with its dynamic cut to cut. Keeping the escalation of the whole suspense and drama, building up at just the right speed, from start to ending. It's as if we're there, immersively experiencing the unraveling too with the characters. Finally, the acting of Seo Yea Ji and Kim Kang Woo, just makes the production all the more perfect. Subtle but rich in their delivery of every mimic, mannerism and gestures as the truth unfolds. Recalled is such a gem. Definitely a must watch. Once again kudos for the whole crew and cast. A remarkable piece indeed this one.

A truly spectacular and emotional performance by the two main actors, Seo Yeaji and Kim Kangwoo, who remarkably kept us engaged till the very end, completing with a heart tugging act that made us reach for tissues to dry our eyes.

Seo Yeaji once again proved to us how good an actor she is by convincingly portraying Soojin, an amnesiac woman who's vulnerable, suspicious, yet stubborn. Her alterations between emotions, subtle yet detailed acting kept us guessing the reality of what's occurring while Kim Kangwoo's charming and attentive Jihoon managed to make us root for him, even when his intentions were unclear till the very end.

The fact that this movie is writer Seo Youmin's debut directorial is even more amazing as she had done a skillful job to create a well paced, well acted movie that managed to capture everyone's heart. Congratulations to the Recalled team on a job well done!
