Jury

About This Movie

So, 'Jury' is this intriguing little comedy from 2013 that dives into the world of film discussions in a rather unique way. You’ve got these five characters, all from different backgrounds, sitting around dissecting what makes a film resonate. It’s kinda meta, right? The director, Jeong, believes films should hit you emotionally, while actress Soo-yeon is all about the message. And then there's Tony, the film critic, who seems to be stuck in the trends of Korean cinema. What’s interesting here is the pacing; it feels like a real conversation, with moments of awkwardness and depth. The performances are pretty solid, especially the way Tomiyama struggles to articulate her thoughts. It's a reflection on the art of cinema, wrapped in humor, and that gives it a distinct vibe.
