I love this movie. Surprised this is a videoessayer's debut. Although the content of the script is not substantial enough, the rhythm of the film is too slow. But the protagonist is fully portrayed, and some character traits are also reflected from the details. The good thing about the movie is that when the movie ends, some things have changed, but many things have not changed, just like the architecture that has been given to the camera many times. The mutual company of two lonely souls. 4 stars.

The architecture/composition is beautiful, and the movement of the camera makes these buildings glow like living characters in the film. The theory of architectural healing is interesting. The cute little Lu's performance is flat, delicate and moving. I have seen the best this year. <3 When the script is approaching the end, I feel that there is a bit of blank space left, and it seems that I have to urinate, but in fact, think about it and it will have a long aftertaste. One of the best looks of '17. There are a few scenes that really make me cry.

Jin: [translating his father's manuscript in Korean] It says, "Effort plus cost," uh, "to see what is invisible and always visible." No, "omni-visible." No, "always visible." "Always visible."
Casey: Wow. I should ask Gabe at work. He's really into these kind of riddles.
Jin: Yes. Yes, what the fuck? My father was always trying to be so profound. Why wouldn't he just write the name down or draw a better picture?
Casey: Well, I didn't think he thought someone was ever going to read this. He probably knew exactly what he meant.
Jin: Still fucking annoying.
