Really enjoyable film but not quite the classic I thought it would be

Rating: 7/10 (24 February 2020)

This is my first experience of Korean cinema (although I have watched many foreign language films). The subtitles may put off some but I care more about the story.
This is a really good film which is equally funny as it engrossing and then nearer the end quite moving.
The tone is a tad all over the place, which I'm sure is likely the aim but for me it makes it harder to land that emotional pull to make you really emphasise with the characters.
I would argue the film translates to me that family and belonging are the themes to take away.
So overall I would say I enjoyed the film and would say go see it for the experience, but if I'm honest I wouldn't choose to add it to my collection.
