Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Eungyo.

Eungyo confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

Unpopular opinion: Eungyo is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Eungyo performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Eungyo actually is?
Look, I wanted to love Eungyo. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Eungyo is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Eungyo would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
