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.
A leader of the opposition party in 1980s South Korea struggles to outwit the government who, unbeknownst to him, has placed a surveillance team in the house next door. Based on the life of Kim Dae-jung, the 8th President of South Korea.

I 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.
