"I am nobody."
Honestly, this film made me feel nothing, failing to deliver the psychological aspects it tried to showcase. However, Sung-woo's inability to be emotionally vulnerable with his boyfriend and his mother's profound mental instability and grief were portrayed through such a distinct, minimal range that I found myself wishing for a more unskimmed, deeper insight into them. Furthermore, the father's role—remaining physically and emotionally absent while managing his wife’s condition by repeatedly bringing home new sons—was indeed eccentric and uncanny.
Additionally, Sung-woo's relationship with the 11th brother, Sung Kyu felt rather tacky. In the final scene, when Sung Kyu's expression turns vacant and hollow the moment Sung-woo leaves, the film attempts to highlight how sacrificing his true self just to belong to the family has left him emotionally empty. However, this pivotal moment was barely visible. Perhaps, I would have preferred it if the story had been presented with a bit more precision and depth so that I could have truly been drawn into it.
