THE CAST EXCELS IN A DISARMING DRAMA…
Despite its portraits of troubled immigration, compromised American dreams, marital meltdown and inter-generational bonds, Lee Isaac Chung’s family drama is not the anguished or sentimental film you might expect. Like the perennial Korean herb its name comes from, Minari is a film of more distinct nuances: steeped in rich reserves of empathy, it honours the minutiae of lived-in experience to gentle yet robust effect.
