    Love the atmosphere the director created. It feels just right. It doesn’t feel overly exaggerated and cliché, and that is some achievement considering the subject matter. It’s a little gem I can come back to.

  • ★★★★ review by A John Apart on Letterboxd

    A fascinating and defiantly low-key drama was a great little study in character. When a teenage delinquent gets out of juvenile detention and is placed in the care of the carefree, irresponsible mother he's never known, both of them struggle to deal with the new reality of their situation. Both lead actors were terrific, both characters had complicated, interesting emotional lives, and the film itself refused to kowtow to our desire for a happy ending, instead offering up something heartbreaking that felt much more true.

    미혼모 소재를 가진 영화 중에서 가장 부모의 마음을 잘 보여준다.
