Film Threat

Within that entertaining framework, he [Yoon] has crafted a meditation on the standards we hold ourselves to and questions the essential nature of conscious life.

Behind The Lens

A very thoughtful and purposeful film that beautifully utilizes mixed visual grammar and musical composition to metaphorically elevate and engage an already solid story and outstanding performances.

A refreshingly original take on a coming-of-middle-age story, buoyed by stellar performances from its ensemble cast.

I really wanted to like it, but it seemed like it would’ve worked better as a short. There was so much repetition and unnecessary content.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

oh man How I wanted to like this movie.. They had 3 good actors the main character) so what was the problem?.. Bad weak, horrible plot that just meandered all over the place. I'm sure the director Daniel Y was told this frm the get go. But his ego must have caused him to plow thru this without so much as a script re-write . Or at least he should have sought out advice or opinions from third partied.. Sorry daniel but a failure resulted because of your large ego.. Looks like it was shot on a cell phone .. didnt waste $ on high quality film..
