Plot
A young delivery worker is reunited with a girl from his childhood, who goes on a trip and returns with a rich, mysterious man.
Sinekatalog’s take
Lee Chang-dong's slow-burn mystery turns a love triangle into a chilling study of class and uncertainty. Steven Yeun is unnerving, and the film's ambiguity and sunset dance scene linger.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
