The writing, directing, and cinematography are fantastic with a beautiful score as the cherry on top, but the acting can be lackluster at points bringing the over all experience down. The acting is good at parts, sometimes great, but when everything else is at it's a game, the acting sticks out like a sore thumb. Over all, really well executed. I do recommend.

Realistic, stark and rough film about making a go of it under very difficult circumstances. Really carried by Tiffany Chu, hope we get to see much more of her. Well done.

About a girl who works in a noraebang and the struggles that kind of environment brigs with it. She is also balancing being the full time carer of her father. A harsh look on the burden that life can sometimes bring on people. I thought the film lacked a bit more development and substance which could have improved it.

This film really has some standout and profound moments, exploring familial dynamics, death, and autonomy. Crystal Lee's acting is really stellar and the film is very beautiful. There is even some very nice humor thrown in to lighten the intense themes of the movie. However, there was some questionable writing and dialogue that felt like it threw off the tone of the movie, at times. Overall a very solid picture that explores some very important topics.

This is a slow moving drama, but it is beautiful both aesthetically and plot wise. I find it engaging.
