Review of Minari (2021) by Krishvasavada — 03 Jun 2021

The movie is simply relatable to a immesurable level. The film has connected well with the viewer. I have not gone into the details of all the work required to make such a masterpiece. But I can acknowledge certain factors that really stood out to me.

The acting to start with was on point. Struggling family.quarrels and argument between the parents while theit innocent children sit witnessing the horror trying to prevent the only adults whom they trust from fighting.

The movie starts wholesome and slightly whacky with its own humour which any viewer would love. The narration the flow and everything to do with the story has been done well. I cannot emphasize how well the story has been written to make this whole experience seem life-like, real true.

The grandma I feel has potrayed her role beyond well. I think no other grandma could've outshone her except the viewers own. This is because the grandma has so successfully captured the essence of a slightly offset,cracked, flawed grandma that actually is real.

the story so beutifully jumps between the stage two characters if the child and the grandma. The viewer does not really know whom to feel empathic for. The acting really allows the transition of the sadness for characters by the viewers, smooth.

The last climactic chaos was so well placed it just cannot be complemented enough. The best scene out of the whole movie has to be the walk which the grandma takes post causing her clumsy mistake. The walk was of shame, guilt, escape.

We could see in her eyes the pain the sorrow. Even though she wanted to apologize she couldn't cause it would not save the goods from being destroyed. Nearly all viewers at a certain age in their lives feel like giving up or running away so that they don't act as an obstacle for the ones around them.

That Same emotion was extremely well potrayed by her in that scene . Following the same masterpiece level scen was another beautiful moment. Where the whole family was sleeping on the floor together showing unity and the grandma sitting, Staring at them.

She was thinking about the loss , or that's what the viewers understands from her devasted emotions and still eyes. Over all I think the film has touched my heart. I am not someone who would cry to moving frames but this one for sure did crack me open vulnerable.

It was too real. A real masterpiece.
