Viewing Notes

FF2015 Day 1: movie 1

“I will cross a sea of blood to get to you.”

Lee Sang-woo delivers another heartwarming family drama. J/K
This is essentially a cautionary tale involving four friends each headed down a different path of bad decisions. Attempts to correct this behavior only creates more heartache. Not quite the brutal life depictions we’ve seen from Sang-woo, and too often on the nose here. Still a good watch with great young actors. A better title for this film would be “Forever 21”.
