Minari 2021

Meh.

It’s ok.

It’s about a family going through the ups and downs of life.

I thought it would be about them facing discrimination in rural Arkansas. It thankfully avoided that usual trope. Unless I’m missing something.

I don't see why this movie has such high ratings. I REALLY tried to like it, but it was just plain boring. There was little connection to the characters. The grandma was the only character worth noting. Life is hard. Farming is hard. Marriage is hard. Nothing new in this movie. What is the relevance of Minari? Are they comparing the plant to Korean people? That both can grow anywhere? Mind blown. /s

I watched this movie with no idea of its plot or genre and I am shocked. It is a soft, simple but overly powerful film. The film shows you what a home really is and the weight of family ties. The script is brilliant. The performances left me speechless, especially Alan Kim. The casting to find that kind of talent and framing in the characters was perfect. My favorite A24 film so far.

Nominated for 6 Oscars (2021) in a field of equally lauded offering, this story of struggle, family and dreams is a winner. The story is unique yet classic, the performances are well articulated (Yuh-Jung Youn is phenomenal in her role), the struggle is real and the character arcs are poignant. I was once told I was stingy with my 10s, but this Oscar’s Best Picture category is filled with them, even though they are all very different from each other. I give this film a 10 (captivating) out of 10. [Drama]

This is such a beautiful movie and very aesthetically pleasing, along with that the cast did their absolute best portraying a young immigrant family that are going through a though time assimilating and working on making ends needs which is highly relatable with most of us.

The fact that most of the movie is in Korean also helps with making it feel so much more realistic.

I definitely thought that there would be some dark moments since it involves an immigrant family trying to settle in during the 80s but I was surprised at how light it is and I appreciate that.

I can definitely see why it was nominated an Oscar.

Nothing new. Life is hard. Marriage is hard. Even farming is also hard... Kinda boring.

I really felt like this was an authentic film. We've seen the main theme before and at several points in the movie it seemed like the movie might go down a specific path but it never does. The addition of the grandmother really brought a nice bit of humor and color to the movie that it didn't seem to have before. The whole film is extremely subtle and for those who are patient enough to invest yourself in it the reward is excellent.

I'm sitting here, bawling through the credits, and I see:

Executive Producer: Brad Pitt

And I can't help but laugh. Seeing his name felt so absurd there.

What an amazing movie. "That was so sad!" I sobbed into my fiance's shirt. "You thought that was sad?" she questioned. That about sums up this movie.

It's about family, and how hard it is for some folks to keep their heads above water. It made me consider my privilege, and how lucky I've been.

The movie is gorgeous. And the script is fantastic. I was impressed by the child actors as well.

Give this one a watch, and bring tissues.

Minari surprised me. It's follows a Korean family moving to Arkansas in the 1980s. I loved the way that the movie gave us everything we needed to know through its scenes. We learned that the son had a heart condition through the mother telling him not to run and then seeing her check his heart. We see that there is lingering issues related to their extended families through an argument the mother and father have clearly had multiple times. Most importantly, we see what drives the father when his son asks him what the smoke is coming from the plant where both parents work sexing chickens and he explains that is where the males go because there is no use to them.

I was enthralled. The performances are fantastic, even the children where I'm normally hesitant on. I loved the dynamic between the family. It's a gorgeous film with some funny moments and a whole lot of heart. The ending was truly beautiful.

A gorgeously filmed movie that beautifully juxtaposes the despair throughout. It's a tough film that deals with the struggles of immigration, hardships, grief, marital tension, family trauma, but doesn't miss the importance of delivering a message of hope through perseverance. It's a wonderful film.

In reality, life is like this: things go wrong, suddenly they get better, then worse ... But you have to continue, you have to fight.

Great performances bring to life this intimate family drama. The ending disappoints slightly due to a lack of narrative conclusion but otherwise, this is a well made movie that is mostly worthy of the praise it has garnered.

A very real story.

I didn’t quite understand Monica’s decision towards the end. It felt to me like Jacob was doing it for his family and didn’t choose one over the other. Perhaps she thought that his obsession with his passion was the cause of all their suffering?

Absolutely heartbreaking when the produce went up in flames. I am glad that brought them together. However, the highlight is really the growth of the relationship between grandma and grandson. I especially love Anne’s maturity under the circumstances too. A lot is required of these kids and they grow up strong as a result of their experiences.

"It's not called a penis, it's called a ding-dong!"

This is a great film about struggle, change, and working hard for what you have. If you want to feel your heart warm up and maybe let your emotions come out a bit, this movie is good for you. Some scenes hit hard for me since I too came from overseas and lived a few years in Arkansas.

Beautiful movie! Don’t let the subtitles throw you off... it’s definitely worth watching.

This film kind of left me speechless. I came into it expecting a more light-hearted watch, and came out with so much gratitude and hopefulness after so much pain and conflict. It really is just a beautiful movie.

(8/10)

What the heck!? Left clueless at end. No definitive ending..

Beautiful, heartfelt, touching film about family and real life. Cinema can get so sensational sometimes, and that's fine, but when a film as grounded as Minari comes around it's like a breath of fresh air, bringing you closer to your own humanity. My favourite of the 2020/21 season so far.

Probably deserves a better rating than the one I gave it. It’s just not my type of film which made it hard to get into. Everything was fine but my interest level.

I liked it. It had the magic touch and some scenes with music reminded me of Terrence Malick. However I wasn't satisfied at the end. I think it needed something more, something extra at the end.

Like a vegetable plate being delivered to my table, this was well made but it's not for me.

I'm not a big fan of family drama or nature or farms or vegetables so... I can appreciate the actors (especially Youn Yuh-jung and a nearly unrecognizable Will Patton) but I found the story as predictable as a dowsing rod in a desert.

Minari is a poignant, moving, and heartwarming story of a Korean immigrant family wanting to live the big American dream. The movie makes you emotionally attached to the characters through their struggles and brings out a smile from time to time. In short, Minari is a stunning portrayal of hope, faith, and family with honest performances which makes it a universal film.

Direct to the heart. This movie wraps you up and makes you feel part of the family, suffering and enjoying it. I discovered shortly after watching the movie that the story is inspired by the director's own experience, in fact there are almost identical photos of the house, which in my opinion gives an even more special shine to this story.

Unfortunately, the character of the daughter is very much wasted, and the macho air of the father makes the final result a bit bitter, but part of this, highly highly recommended.

Wow I need Alan Kim to introduce every movie I watch from now on, what a wonderful surprise before the movie!

Will Patton is fantastic as the crazy-ligious Korea war veteran. Clear winner of the Oscar for supporting actor this year if it was up to me.
A lovely film I enjoyed from start to end, or almost to the end since I found the ending a little bit to abrupt which bereaves it from the top grade.

Moving on delicate terrain, transmitting emotions in a subtle way, this chronicle of the modern American dream manages to convey a leisurely proximity. This connection between traditions, religion and unfulfilled dreams always moves in a balance that is achieved thanks to the profile of the characters. The simplicity of his proposal does not hide the depth of his development, the kind but also painful gaze towards a difficult life in an opposite context.
