Audience Member I watched this in theater when I was young. And even then I got all it gave. My personal sentiment refuses to give this film anything less than a five stars even though I know it isn't. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member korean equivalent to rainman. unquestionable devotion of a mother's love to her son. the incorruptible and innocent mind of a autistic youth. a move refreshing to the soul. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic movie, very moving, excellent performances all round. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A tearjerking story about an autistic man chasing his dream of running a marathon and the unconditional love of his mother. Part of the movie's success is credited to a very sensitive portrayal of autism by Seung-woo Cho. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Emotionally 5 stars from about the middle of the film......It's inspirational and moving......and by the end i was choking back tears. Seung-woo cho (who was in 'The Classic') gives an outstanding performance as an Autistic man with the brain of a 5 year old, and the heart of a winner. The film is very funny and touching...A must see movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Always felt Pleasure while watching korean movies.. But this one way more than that.. Beautiful and well presented ... Wept up in the last 20 mins Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
