My rating is lesser than most viewers but I have an explanation. The movie is really good, no doubt. It claws where required, tugs at your heart and leaves you in a pool of tears. You'll begin to question the world, religion, people and the list goes on. It will leave you with the right questions, questions you'll never find answers to. And that's what really good movies do.
The children aced their roles. They were convincing and powerful. I don't know how some scenes were enacted and I don't want to find out. Whereas, the lead actor, Gong Yoo seemed a bit even-tempered for the role, a little too mellow and that took away from the movie. There were some unnecessary moments with music and slow shots that could be avoided. Some scenes that could be left to the imagination, dragged on.
The story is unnerving and one the world deserved to know. It had a lot of potential that didn't make its way to the screen, but I definitely don't want anybody to remake this story.
P.s - This horrific tale is based on a true story.
