News Well-produced but problematical
Beautifully produced, masterfully acted, but psychologically simplistic, and ethically problematical. Children with the kind of deprivation shown by the main character don’t grow up to have the kind of confidence and power that Moon Dong-eun shows. The constant focus on violence was demoralizing. The main character’s god-like ability to enact a convoluted scheme with such precision and success was completely unbelievable. Not a single character questioned her pursuit of revenge as an appropriate goal. Really? Vengeance warps and deadens the perpetrator’s soul as much as it wreaks havoc on the victims.
