Very good except for the ending. The movie really keeps the tension high and there are twists that are somewhat expected, but very well done . But because the two protagonists, either of them, had really done nothing wrong, I think they could’ve written a better ending.

A big disappointment after all the hype. It was like watching the day-to-day life of an ordinary immigrant family. True there were things you never see in movies like the strange things grandmas often say to grandchildren. A very interesting and dramatic movie could be made showing the experiences of a Korean American family moving into a rural district and their young children starting school and interacting with classmates and their families. But this isn’t that movie. It was boring. All the people watching with me said something to the effect of “Is it over?” “Is that it?” when it suddenly ended right in the middle of whatever story they were telling.
