Minha Primeira Cliente

Although the storyline of this film is relatively easy to predict, it does not reduce its emotional power, considering that this film is based on a very touching true story. I personally cannot imagine experiencing a traumatic event like this in real life. The struggle of the siblings in facing life's difficulties and achieving happiness amidst limitations is very inspiring and touching. The acting of the little sister deserves a thumbs up; they appear very natural and convincing, so that she is able to make the audience feel the emotions she feels. Likewise, the acting of the stepmother who successfully conveys the complexity of the emotions of an antagonistic and inhumane stepmother. Throughout the film, I felt very sorry and sad to see the indifference of the adults around them. The conflict presented in this film is very strong and the climax feels very intense, successfully making me carried away by the story and feel quite heartbreaking emotions.

I'm surprised at the end to learn about that how many cases remain being unsolved and people just ignore it. It was my 2nd movie about child abuse and first was ''Go back''. But, I still can't believe those movies are based on true events. I am so emotionally touched and feel poor these kids who suffered or have been suffering. I don't know abusing child in Korea ever going to stop.

However,talking about the movie, movie is amazing. Specially, the girl and the step mother did a wonderful job. All the time, while watching this movie, I felt like, I can feel the girl's pain. Though I hate the step mother for her wrong doings but couldn't resist myself from praising her, realllyy!! Outstanding acting.

This was a hard watch - not because it's an awful movie but because there is quite bit of child abuse happening. Think of a gangster films where a gangster beats up someone who owes them money or another gang member...but that someone is a child and the abuser is the step mother. It's that type of abuse happening on screen and it is rough to get through. I enjoyed it because it was a well done film - even if some of the characters weren't well flushed out - but I don't know if I can watch it again. I would recommend at least one viewing of this as it is worth the watch. I know it's a movie and everything is done safely and is fake, but the actress playing the step mother provably had to see a psychiatrist and a priest after some of those scenes.

I just started watching Korean crime and other true story movies a while ago, and I haven't watched many, but this one is pretty good. I think that most, if not all protagonists/characters in this movie are quite likable, except for the abusive parents, of course. The actor who played the lawyer is very talented. He is caring to the children, while also being able to focus on his job and promotions. Both kids acted very well for being very young, and the movie is realistic.

Telling youse how society can be disgustingly ignorant.. Disgusting neighbors.. Disgustingly helpless..

Watching this, is hard.. I want to take this matter to my own hand..

Emotionally scored 8 of 10..
