The World of Us

Well done in working with kids and amateur actors. Conveying the subtle senses an feeling throughout a simple line of story. A successful attempt in reflecting the realism of a middle-class family.

Loved how realistically the film managed to recreate one of the things i hate the most; Seeing pure innocence breaking down.

It was heart-aching to watch when it just reminded me that this is an example of true stories. Rather a documentary on what is going on in every other schools here in Korea.

From start to finish, there wasnt a few seconds i could watch without being suffocated with the burdening emotions the screen delivers. (Except for the little bro scenes)

After all, with all that said, i might not want to watch it again due to burdensome emotions, but will surely cherish of what i learned and thought throughout the movie.

Honestly, one of the best debut films out there and it is a shame that only 500 people watched it. The movie perfectly shows realtionships between adults and kids and between kids. The performances are all great, the young actors are especially awesome. The ending is just perfectly sums the whole movie up and it left me feeling numb. I highly recommend it and please do yourself a favor and watch it! Better than Mean Girls.

The only reason why I'm not rating this one with nine is the ending. It was left wide open and thus, it didn't help conclude the story nicely. Now, for the movie, it presents the course of a friendship, how it is developed and how the human relationships progress when they are under the pressure of the society. I also liked how the main character didn't change her personality, even though her friend clearly did. That said, both young ladies were really good and their performances supported the drama perfectly. Also, the clean camera work suited the movie's tone really well.

This is a really beautiful film. Very pleasing visuals and amazing acting by the young talents. It has strong thematic relation with the Breath, a French movie released years prior to this movie.
