Tail

About This Movie

Tail (2018) is an intriguing drama that dives deep into the psyche of Jong-hak, who lives this double life as a consultant aiding North Korean refugees while secretly betraying them. The atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic, as you witness the tensions build within him. The pacing feels deliberate, reflecting the weight of Jong-hak's moral dilemmas, and the cracks in his facade become more pronounced as the story unfolds. The performances are raw and authentic, particularly in how they convey the emotional toll of duplicity. It’s visually unassuming, yet the practical effects and simple yet poignant cinematography add to its grounded realism. Definitely a film that lingers with you, making you ponder the costs of survival and loyalty.
