Those with an eye for reading between the lines can find layers of meaning.

A deceptively gentle tale with a tender ache at its center, as well as a performance from Yun Jung-hee that lingers long in the memory.

Anyone who starts a film going to poetry classes is eventually going to come up with a poem. The one Mija finally delivers will rip your heart to shreds.

Writer and director Chang-dong Lee's film is moving without ever stooping to melodrama; Yun is the main reason why.
