Fish Out of Water offers a raw glimpse into the struggles of identity faced by a Korean-Filipino teenager. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of societal expectations, and you can really feel Minjae's internal conflict as he grapples with his mixed heritage. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of introspection that linger long after the credits roll. There's a simplicity to its practical effects, but what stands out is the earnestness of the performances, especially from the lead. The film captures that feeling of being an outsider, exploring themes of belonging and acceptance with a subtle touch. Definitely a distinctive piece that resonates on multiple levels.
