This trailer blows but the movie is so incredible I can hardly believe it.

Seriously, I bawled my f*ckin eyes out all the way through.

Rent this sucker- unbelievably moving.

Goes to show what is possible with a good story and great story telling skills. The film making itself is remrkably simple.

This film is great.

Yes it is a freaking great film. I was surprised. I had to see the film with the kid who beat Cho min Sik in Oldboy for best actor at Cannes. It was a great film and beautiful sad film. Loved it Loved it!

hey rook and spidey, what film is this film most like? I'm thinking of renting it.

I'm not a huge fan of Asian cinema. To be honest, Oldboy is the only Asian movie I flipped for. I didn't like Hero, Sympathy for Mr., crouching tiger, infernal affairs, or the first movie by the guy who did 2046 (a movie I didn't see).

Will I like this film? The cinematography in the trailer looks pretty good.

CGEADS, I can't say it's really like any of the other movies mentioned here. It kind of stands alone. Part of what makes it so good.

The cinematography seems to follow the "gritty but pretty" route. And isn't really breath taking by any means. I think it was made with comparativly small amount of cash.

The story is what's great and the skill with which it's told is sick crazy good.

Rent it.
