🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This is a profound character study of an outcast, where crime is portrayed as a symptom of profound loneliness and social neglect. The film builds a suffocating atmosphere of inevitability, masterfully exploring the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator.

What lingers after the credits roll is a heavy, melancholic reflection on the shared guilt that permeates modern society. A grim yet compelling narrative that refuses to offer easy judgments. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Sang-il Lee
