Good Faith

About This Movie

Good Faith is quite the intriguing piece, really. Set against the backdrop of New York's bereavement culture, it weaves a blend of drama with this eerie, almost surreal atmosphere. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the emotional weight of each séance to settle in. The lead, a Korean woman masquerading as a shaman, gives a performance that’s layered—she walks the line between empathy and manipulation with a finesse that keeps you guessing. It’s distinctive for how it critiques belief systems while also showcasing the lengths people go to find comfort. The practical effects, though understated, add a nice touch to the seance scenes, creating a haunting realism that lingers.

This film has seen limited distribution, making physical copies quite rare. Many collectors are drawn to its unique narrative and the cultural commentary it offers, creating a niche interest among those who appreciate international dramas. While its director remains unknown, the film has developed a small but dedicated following, leading to discussions about its themes in various collector circles.
