An excellent tragicomedy, more on the tragic side, presenting (sometimes in an almost surreal, caricature style) the intolerance of idiots in today's society. Marred by the impulsiveness and superficiality entertained by the so-called social media and the manipulative press, it is made up of a gallery of 'global village idiots' who feel entitled to an opinion on everything, especially to an extremely judgmental one, to the brink of verbal and physical abuse.
The acting is fine throughout and the film has a keen eye for significant details and minutiae, and also a refreshingly real feel (for its most part), even though it has actually no clear thread following the action, but a series of ever crueler perspectives triggered by the same incident. In a welcome, deeper addition to the real-life fact in South Korea that has inspired this film, the contrast between depressed loneliness and loud intolerance provides the emotional fuel that allows it to move forward.
