This is a really excellent and underrated film. Outstanding direction, a great performance from Jessica Chu, a wonderful and moody soundtrack, and good supporting performances. A rather nice contrast between a somber tone of Korean American culture and the somewhat joyous quality of Latino culture in Los Angeles.
This is a quiet little film, strong performances a good story. DIfficult subject matter, well handled by the crew. A terminally ill father, a somewhat estranged brother, and the woman who basically takes the weight of the world upon her shoulders. A nice depiction of a common heroine, of the karaoke scene, which is probably fairly close to reality, in terms of general, low-life patrons and the kind of nonsense which these women have to put up with. I recommend this film it really gets under your skin.
