The shift in Phil's attitude towards Peter was also surprising -- his character was enigmatic in many ways, I suppose. Everyone had layers and layers and layers underneath that. I don't think I'd watch it again.

Minari 2020
This movie was lovely and gentle. Watching it felt like being in the middle of a hazy summer. It perfectly captures the various experiences of being an immigrant family, and the resilience, creativity, and sacrifice that it takes just to keep moving forward when moving forward is all you can do.
