UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
brandon_mijares Heading into this movie knowing this might be my first review on a movie on IMDB I was a bit hesitant but nevertheless brave to press on. I've watched and seen some work from two of said actors Justin Chon and David So.As the character started to develop through the movie I slowly began to admire the flaws and the fine script craftsmanship every character started to build-up and let me tell you quote"That's why your father and I came to America for a better life," who would have thought, would actually very much touched me. I would have thought Chon would lose his composure under those stressful scenes, kept under control which were also great to watch. Speaking of scenes, the reason I gave such a decent rating was because the the superb balance of laughter, relatability, and a touch of humor the movie possessed. In a way I actually didn't want this movie to be categorized as a high budget film because of the indie charm it had to it, hence why I adored the film so much. With a premise to display something to nothing and to something again is heart warming. A fearless attitude and excellent choice of sound score, it definitely blew my mind how the world is revolving.
chemothephoenixcat Justin Chon amazing stuff man. David So amazing actor hope to see a lot more of you guys. Brilliant movie about a turbulent time, you have brought to light the Korean shop owner plight during that period. I don't understand the critics who are willing to drop below nine out of ten, possibly never watched the same film!! Well done arguably the best film of 2017.. thank you
thunderbolito A great well put together story with all kinds of emotions from the various actors that are part of it, Chon definitely killed it being director and actor in a movie that holds the spirit of independent film within itself,I enjoyed it very much as I hope others will, all the very best to future projects as I will be looking forward to support it, Asian actors are very typecast in general and this films gives a view in this particular settings as well as those around them that shows the humanity in all.
emperoryad Very good movie, never boring, hit on all the emotions. Unique storytelling you'll see when you watch the movie. Good acting by the main actors and actresses in the movie. Nice to see a story from the eyes of a person who knows about it and was there. Like the profound ending too, but won't give too much about that.
