"7/10. When I read the plot synopsis & about the strange “hobby” of one of the storyline’s characters, I thought this 🎥 sounded like it’d be bad. But I really like actors Steven Yeun & Yoo Ah-In, so I decided to watch & although I would categorize this movie as “a really weird slow burn,” it was strangely intriguing at the same time — It’s a good “psychological thriller” that makes you question at the end of the film: What was actually going on? (You have to read btw the lines in this film) 👍🏽"
"At first I was reluctant to watch this movie because I was scared to know what I know about this movie now. To put it vaguely, it creeps up on you. It wasn’t just watching a movie where the plot gives a solution to the character. It felt as if you were the character and going along like you do in life. You’re not sure what’s happening, why it’s happening, but it’s happening. Not surprisingly, I did enjoy it. I think it captures a Murakami story perfectly; quiet & unknown but daunting. "
"Obsessed with this movie. A book bought me here…but Steven Yeun killed it!!! "
