erisadesu May 05 2020 5:57 am It's a great movie but I think I need a sequel(?)

y Sep 09 2019 1:07 am The movie was great, however, I find it easier to appreciate the movie after reading the novel since a couple of details (narration, inner dialogues) are left out

doram Feb 24 2019 3:36 am More like a 2-hour special drama than a movie to me. Idk, I give it 7.5 out of 10. Not really impressed. The cast was amazing though.
