Our take
A breakout film for Jeon Yeo-been, Kim Ui Seok’s extraordinary debut dissects the chilling societal pressure placed on teenagers in Korea. A brutal character study with the suspense of an investigation, this plea for empathy accentuates the loneliness of adolescence with its steely cinematography.
