Unfortunately, the summary above is somewhat of a spoiler. Since I had not read it, the events were quite a shock to me. This movie would best be described as a horror show. It is the unraveling of a family. The family dynamics are revealed one at a time until the final climax. It was quite unsettling and a unique watch. The acting is quite good and hauntingly realistic. Do not, however, expect a "feel good" movie. Was this review helpful to you?

Families Are Complicated
Honestly it's difficult to describe this movie.I wouldn't say I enjoy watching it, but I definitely enjoyed analyzing it, especially since I knew the ending. Counting the foreshadowings, looking for visual metaphors, etc.
In fact, I enjoyed this more because I knew the ending.
The acting is pretty good. Everyone was very convincing. Kim Young Ae was amazing, I was both terrified of her and pitying of her. I think it's worth watching just for her.
The visuals were suitable for the theme and the music or the lack thereof sets the mood.
The events happening in the movie feels unrealistic to a certain extent, but some aspects of it do feel realistic. The complex relation between parent and child, the awkwardness between family, the fights between them, etc.
At the end of the day it was just an alright movie for me. I can't say I hated watching it, but I won't say that enjoyed it in particular.
