Chaves para o Coração

What a great movie. A simple story told so well, a broken family, troubled parents and troubled kids, and how they have to overcome it. All with the help of amazing performances by the actors. To top it all, a world class soundtrack. One of my favorite korean movies for sure.

Once again, the great CGV Cinema in Los Angeles strikes with yet ANOTHER movie that send tears my face (1987, A TAXI DRIVER and yes, a zombie movie, the awesome TRAIN TO BUSAN)

I love just walking into that theater, not watching the trailer, reading any reviews. I use my Movie Pass and I am treated to magic! Sure, you can read what the movie is about on this page. I prefer not to and enjoy the surprises this movie presented, especially by (K Pop Star?) Park jung min, who creates a wonder performance as a stage two autistic adult.

My nitpicks: the movie is around 20 minutes too long and the last 30 minutes, a tad choppy, however, the overly journey was emotional and rewarding.

If you like great Korean cinema, check this one out as soon as you can see it. I will see again soon! Now, Im gonna watch some Park jung min videos!

You may not like heartfelt stories but the Korean gem puts forth many tugs at the heart, some obvious, some not so obvious, but in the end tells a story of family values, the human condition and how best to function in an imperfect world. Park Jung Min is a standout but all actors in this film put forth great performances that speak well to their role in the storyline. Definitely worth a watch and if you need Eng subtitles find it on drama3s

You just need sensitivity to like this movie. And then, yes, great performances and a beautiful soundtrack. Another good one!

As predictable as the heart-warming plot may be, director Choi Sung-hyun has created a captivating film. Despite the lack of originality of the premise, the setup is simplicity itself. The film constantly engages us due to its sensitive writing as well as solid performances, and presents beautiful & heart wrenching moments. It's a film that thrills and captivates not for its originality but for the simplicity of things to happen.
