Common Connections

PRAISE: I think a lot of people have been down the paths the characters in this movie go down and that's one of the reasons it's so good. The story is about Nora and Hae Sung, two deeply connected childhood friends, are wrest apart after Nora's family emigrates from South Korea. Decades later, they are reunited. I thought the three leads were great.Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and Arthur John Magaro perfectly capture the emotions of a what could have been couple and a married couple. Director Celine Song knows how to capture the awkwardness of everything that happens in this movie. It's in the uncomfortable silences,the meet ups and a true third wheel moment. The connection of calling talking everyday but it's still not enough which leads to the long distance longing and the long distance why bother. Also well brought out is how life moves forward even though the love and care is there the realism of a person evolving and becoming a part of another country and even another person happens !!

PROBLEMS: The movie is dry and meanders here and there definitely should have better pacing

Scale of 1 to 10 an 8½
