Review of Divines (2016) by Risonyeong — 16 May 2021

Would seem like a teenager movie, coming of age, with much drug and sex. but this was a gritty alternative look at migrant society dilemma. coming to a host country becomes a conundrum that they cant escape from as they could not integrate into host country.

So there exist an illegal microcosm for them to thrive and in the end all vices ends in tragedy and heartbreak. coming from a teenager viewpt made the whole film very raw and their innocence highlighted the pain even more.

Have an open mind.
