Father, Daughter and Her Friends

About This Movie

So, this 2019 film, 'Father, Daughter and Her Friends,' dives into some pretty heavy themes of family and love—a bit unconventional, yet it grips you. Mi-na, the main character, is a product of tragedy, having lost her parents in a fire, and her relationship with her adoptive father, Hoon-sik, is layered. It's nuanced, you know? The ambiance feels intimate, almost suffocating at times, reflecting Mi-na's emotional landscape. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to breathe, which is nice for a drama. And the performances—there's a certain rawness to them that's striking, particularly with Mi-na and her friends, like Soo-jin, who’s more than just a side character. It’s this complex exploration of love and desire that really sets it apart.
