Celine Song direct Greta Lee, Teo Yoo and John Magaro in this romance about two Korean school friends who separate when one emigrates to America only to gradually reencounter each other as social media becomes… a thing.

Personally I found it a little too ponderous and inert… but I can see why it has won so many over. I think I might have been the only swinging dick not crying in the multiplex when it concluded.
