NOTES From our team
- Most of us may or may not have cried at the end.
- The ending was one of the best endings we've seen in a long time in a movie.
- The plot was unpredictable - how nice of a change!
- So utterly authentic in the most heart-wrenching way possible.
- Finally a movie that doesn't make you want a marriage to end. Celine Song did an amazing job letting the audience gain empathy towards all three characters - Nora, Arthur, and Hae Sung.
