A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Han-cheol and his buddies, Geon-mo and Min-ho, want to be the dominators of 11th grade. He gets rid of likely candidates of the 11th grade one by one. One of his opponents is Sang-gil and after school one day, they decide to fight behind an alley. The fight ends with the police appearing, and while the result is inconclusive, they each realize how good their opponent is.

Critics & Reviews
3 featuredI walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.
A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
