Our take
A moving search for identity in neon-drenched Seoul, Davy Chou’s mercurial drama aches with diasporic longing, which thrums through an exquisitely curated soundtrack. Dazzling in her vulnerability, first-time actress Park Ji-Min ferociously embodies the tragicomic chaos of living between cultures.
