A social comedy switch over a crazy thriller black comedy

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2019)

A family with few resources, mother, father, son and daughter live in a sordid basement in a poor neighbourhood in Seoul. They don´t have a permanent job, they survive by doing temporary employment, nor can they pay for the necessary studies so that children can progress in the workplace. Thanks to a university friend, the son will be able to give private lessons to the newly adolescent of a rich family living in a large house, in which the whole family will gradually be placed. A relaxed night of fun in the absence of the owners will become, under an intense downpour and surprising discoveries, into a stressful nightmare, and from this kind social comedy a crazy thriller will be born that will mutate into black comedy.
It has a very good narrative rhythm, it is a constant ascension of a "harder still" that surprises you at each inflection, and when it reaches its zenith you are already wondering what small mistake they will make that will cause everything to be discovered or, what new impersonation they will be imagining and thus, absolute chaos will arrive in a thrilling way that will leave you breathless. It's how to ride a roller coaster! The thing does not end here, there is a conclusion narrated in the first person by the protagonist that seems to leave everything clear, where both surprises and new dreams emerge. Bright, very bright!

Everything fits perfectly, the two families seem real, and the actors do an excellent job, all of them, the comparison between the two houses is dazzling, the script is brilliant and has a good photograph director and a very good director. A film that no one who likes cinema can miss or who is minimally interested in the current social trends can miss it.
