Review: Little Forest (2018) - "A Heartwarming Escape: Review of Little Forest"
Little Forest is a beautifully serene film that showcases Kim Tae-ri in a role that’s a refreshing departure from her usual characters. As Hye-won, a young woman returning to her rural hometown to escape the pressures of city life, Kim Tae-ri shines with a quiet, grounded performance. The film is a gentle meditation on finding peace within oneself and the healing power of nature.
The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the audience to truly feel Hye-won’s journey of self-discovery as she reconnects with her roots, grows her own food, and rebuilds her emotional resilience. Kim Tae-ri’s performance is deeply emotional yet subtle, capturing the complexities of her character’s inner turmoil and the peace she finds through simple, everyday moments.
The film is visually stunning, with gorgeous landscapes and a soothing, natural atmosphere that complements its themes of renewal and personal growth. Little Forest is a quiet, introspective film that leaves a lasting impression.
