A Tale of Two Sisters

the first kim jee-woon miss for me.

in its qeust to be a confusing narrative about grief, the past while inersecting with family, it all piles up into something im not really a fan off. while i do like its somewhat nihilistic tone, it never feels rewarding in the sense that its themes never really display a level of humanity within these characters. if anything, they feel hollow and to allow such a narrative to work, you have to at least have some characters that get more deep the longer we know them. i do like most of the performances and cinematography but there isn't a lot to find for me to like and like another korean mystery, forgotten, the mystery is in first place while the characters are rather lackluster but at least in forgotten it wasn't as boring.
