Featured reviews
Kim Tae-ri has mostly done dramatic, ensemble films in her short but extremely promising career. Here she is the dominant character in a slice of life, and she carries it beautifully. There is not twists or turns, just a normal young woman dealing with growing up, and you stay completely engaged in her story thanks to Tae-ri's performance.
The supporting cast, Ryu Jun-yeol and Jin Ki-joo, playing childhood friends are wonderful as well. Ryu isn't the typical looks for a young Korean actor and all the better, he's actually charming.
Food is a supporting character in of itself, of course. Farming and cooking are centering, the work is worth the reward.
And if you wonder what happens at the end, note, she knows what he told the other woman ;)

Very relaxing and soft movie.
Watched it after Handmaiden to see more Kim Tae Ri and wasn't dissapointed.

After watching this film, I saw the life that should be. Simple and feels warm, a very beautiful film that deserves to be watched repeatedly. Little Forest makes me want to immediately retire from the city and start living in the countryside someday.
This movie is full of love of life and it's simple but beautiful gifts. Good and though times with the Mother Nature are depicted in parallel with beautiful moments between three good friends.
We wouldn't witness all of these simple beauties of life if the movie maker herself was not in love with colors, light, and foods. Every frame of this movie indicates a well thought and crafted scene by a gifted person.
Here the story is flowing in the background without any harm to strength of the movie. There is a positive energy in every elements of this movie and its cast that naturally transmits to the audience and you unconditionally feel good after watching it. Indeed a valuable work and a great movie.

It took a little time to get wrapped up in the plot, but after that it was a pleasure to watch on many levels. Ultimately, I feel it's about the question of living a simple life or not, but it also touches on other important issues.
