It was an amazing movie. I was really surprised to see someone give it a 5, because the pacing never slowed down and it was truly enjoyable to watch. The ML is an excellent actor. Speaking of him, I also recommend Wall to Wall. The reviews are very negative, but don’t mind them—just watch it. The other actor also did a great job. Toward the end, the film makes you face a moral dilemma about what’s right and wrong. The answer is clear, of course, but still, it’s impactful. Definitely worth watching
I gave the film 2 stars mainly because of its critique of cults and religion. I appreciated the scene where the girl takes revenge on her abusive father, that part stood out in a good way. But honestly, even 2 stars feels too generous for this film.
I had previously watched another film by this director, Guilty of Romance. When I read the reviews, I saw that many viewers found it exceptional. But honestly, all that praise felt excessive for such a bizarre film. To me, Guilty of Romance came across as a disturbing story that seemed to fetishize sexual violence and push boundaries in a way that felt deeply uncomfortable. So when I started this film, I didn’t expect it to be particularly good either. When people say things like “Oh my god, it was amazing,” maybe they feel like they have a refined and superior taste in cinema. But in my opinion, that’s just an illusion created in their own minds. Throughout the film, the male lead says things like “I’m the master of perverts,” and I couldn’t help but feel that the screenwriter was projecting certain things onto the character. For me, this film was nothing more than four wasted hours. And I can’t help but ask: why is it that in both of this director’s films, there always has to be a woman who’s raped? And why does the story always somehow shift toward women’s nudity and their bodies? These recurring themes are quite troubling to me. I’ll read a few more reviews to try and understand the mindset of the people who are so full of praise for this film.
