Minari (Lee Isaac Chung, 2020)
Click here for the basics

Rating: Q=6, P=6 / Average OJ
Scale 1=3, Scale 2=3, Scale 3=3, Scale 4=3

Complex Relationships, Family, Farming, 1980s

A breathtakingly beautiful film about how difficult it can be to make a meaningful life--one that supports your family and your own personal dreams. It is a story about new beginnings, fresh starts, and second chances. It is about being Korean in the rural Midwest of America in the 1980s. It is about the struggles of marriage--the compromise, differences, patience. Jacob and Monica try, each in their own way, to protect each other and their children. Though they both strive for a perfection that cannot exist, they do achieve something marvelous--ultimately this story is about just letting be.
