Audience Member This movie is really good it'll leave you with a lot of questions about your life but the animation effects pretty bad. But for me it gives you what this movie is all about Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A strange and different story for sure..but gripping all the way...leading you to a completely unexpected path ! Very well directed and edited ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Intense, bleak and downbeat Korean animation positioning the issue of bullying in schools within the broader context of rigid social hierarchy and class struggle- portraying the life long scars that can result from such trauma Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a good story with interesting animation, but nothing more. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A heavy story for an animated film, and doubly so if you have to read the subtitles. Some of the adolescent nuances in the animation are very good. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Intense Korean animation. Was left feeling emotionally drained. :P Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
