What Secret Sunshine Is About

A woman who has lost her husband moves with her son to his home town, and there suffers a far greater loss. Lee Chang-dong builds the second half on faith: she takes refuge in a church, believes she has learned to forgive, and then discovers that the man she wanted to forgive has already found peace. The question that follows is the film's real one and deeply uncomfortable: whose forgiveness is it to give? Jeon Do-yeon's performance is deliberately uncontrolled. Long and very heavy.
