Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
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.
sergeevvv They have no aims. They do nothing. Why anybody should care about nothingdoers?!
Mahendra Vishwakarma Racial discrimination is a dark and sensitive topic. The movie is about the same faced by Korean origins living in states. A African American girl living in a shady neighborhood is emotionally attached to Korean friends and thinks of them as family. The girl's family are hostile against the Korean guys. The movie revolves around day today difficulties & racial abuse faced by them by different origin of Americans. The struggle of the Korean guys and black girl has been nicely portrayed. The ending of the movie is dark.
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.
