Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
hawalee The movie 'Wish' follows a young girl who is sexually assaulted by a man, and the repercussions of this traumatizing experience on her and her family. It delves into her recovery from the experience and gives an insightful look into the emotions felt by herself, and those around her. I cannot even begin to describe my love for this film. Upon literally watching it 5 minutes ago, I believe it may be one of my most favorite movies of all time. I am not ashamed to admit I sobbed throughout literally an hour and thirty minutes of the film (basically 3/4 of the entire movie.) This movie was honestly so touching, emotional, heartbreaking, absolutely soul crushing to watch. And the fact that it is based on true story, is even more raw and honest-feeling. I believe that some of the most stand out scenes were: 1) The scene in which the father had tried to help clean his daughters burst colostomy bag and her reaction to this. Not only was it heart breaking to watch her freeze in fear, but the fathers reaction to her doing this and the pain and sadness he would've felt. 2) The scene in which the daughter removes the head of the Kokomong suit her father had been wearing around her just so he could be near her without scaring her off, and the emotions shown on the actors face conveyed so much of everything, it was an extremely touching moment.3) The scene in which the father and mother react to the sentence which was given to the rapist and as the father is about to (I want to say kill, because the look in his eyes was absolutely full of rage) beat the rapist and the daughter rushes into the court room and grabs onto her fathers leg pleading him to just go home. Of course there were many more amazing scenes, but those were a few that really stood out to me. All I can say about this movie is that, it was an eye opening and heart breaking film to watch and that EVERYONE should definitely see it.
BRC First of all, KUDOS to the director for keeping it gore-free. And thanks to him for such a DECENT, SENSITIVE and yet POWERFUL portrayal of a real-life incident without all the unnecessary elements. OMG! the way he handled a delicate topic very effectively and efficiently!! Any other (insensitive) director would have butchered the script and screenplay. WOW! Take a (lots of) bow, the ENTIRE CREW. EXTREMELY emotional. NEVER once did the director steer away from the subject. This EASILY TOPS as the BEST movie to WATCH in the history of world cinema. I'm already using this movie as benchmark and bashing other movies that they are not up to this movie's mark! Such is the impact of this movie on me.There is no 100/10 on IMDb. Otherwise, my rating for this movie is exactly that and may be even more because 10/10 seems to be blase after watching this movie.Even the little boy who cries towards the end for not accompanying the girl on that day, was so powerful histrionics-wise, that I'm BOWLED over by all the performances!! SPELL-BOUND! All the 3 lead actors DESERVED an Oscar each. I will give away one to each of them, really. The music was sensitive and seamless too, without jarring your ears. And coming back to the story, I cannot believe this was an actual incident that happened. The scene between the father and the daughter at the hospital when he tries to shift her to another room is very touching! The emotions choke you because truth is always bitter. How the community chips in to help in every which way they could, is a revelation! And WHAT the heck do you say about the JUDGE for going "easy" on the pervert bastard?! HE should have been the first one to be beaten to death. Does not he even have the basic IQ to analyze that the pervert criminal had all the time and "sanity" of the brain to plan this and leave her to death? No matter where you are, women and children have to be careful, they cannot rest on the immoral judges or ridiculous judiciary system or the spineless police force. I could not digest the sentence or the judge's words. And what a BRAVE girl is she! HOPE she is safe, sound and happy, even after the pervert is released.
Akshat Sapra There is a line which father says to his friend, "You didn't went through all of it". Being a passive viewer of the situation, I felt everything. It felt like I was with the father the whole time. He was feeling so helpless that he couldn't do anything to ease his daughter's pain.The film was full of powerful emotional frames. Out of all, there was one scene which affected me deeply. It was when victim was rushed away from the media, and while her father was cleaning her, she yelled for help, told her father to go away and not to touch her. Putting these words cannot surpass the potency of the scene. You'll feel so much pain. I couldn't get through all of the turbulent emotion running all the frames sequentially while I was writing the review; therefore, I will just end it.
Dalibor Leskovar Very disturbing feature about rape and beating of an 8 year old girl on her way to school. Luckyly the film's director doesen't show the gruesome scenes and the whole movie is dedicated on the aftermath of the crime itself. It shows the importance of having family and friends support during such time. It also shows the stupidity of korean legal system ( it's similar here in Croatia ) and all crimes in that domain should be punished most severely. All in all, very good movie ( the most touching scene is when the little girl tells her dad that he can take off the funny cartoon costume in which he follows her around to make her days easier ). Those who like the movie, try another korean masterpiece - Miracle in cell no. 7. Cheers
