I never read the book, but I'm sure compared to it it pales in comparison as most adaptations do. The movie was emotionally effective. I gasped in excitement a few times, cried a few times. A few moments hit real hard. There are plenty of issues, some kind of major, but if you are able to just accept it's a netflix movie and are content to just vibe with it on an emotional level it's a wonderful ride.

Not a terrible film, but not perfect. Will stick to your ribs, make you think.

Minari (2020) - Rated 08 Jun 2021

Disaster strikes when grandma goes to empty the trash. The slow motion disaster of the parent's livelihoods and relationship is contrasted with the playful energy of their children. A melancholy, slow, slice of life drama about an east Asian family and their struggles. I was describing Yi Yi (2000) which this film seems to be "inspired" from. Not a bad film, but given the choice definately watch Yi Yi instead.
