Boring characters, boring story


This movie captures what it would be like to watch ordinary 60-somethings meet with their real estate agent, struggle with technology, make coffee, visit the vet, write a cheque, watch yhe news blah blah blah. So boring. My wife wanted to watch this movie and she fell asleep. 3/10

It's a wonderful, warm movie! You missed the subtleties and the beauty of it.

It was a good movie it was slowly paced with extremely pushy characters but at the heart of it was a love story going on 40 plus years. The problem with films today is that unless you are male, 14-20 years old then there aren't a lot of intelligent, thought provoking, interesting, keep you up at night thinking about them films being made. The US is so used to seeing films that have been dumbed down, huge explosions, women's naked bodies being flaunted for no good reason that when a gem like this comes along everyone says it is terrible, it was boring, it was unbelievable. Film makers should take a master class in Korean films to see how great films are made.
