Long tipped as an Oscar contender, Celine Song’s autobiographical indie drama more than lives up to the hype. The story of a woman born in South Korea, who can’t shake off her first crush, is original, wry and hauntingly tender.
Academy voters will almost certainly nominate this story of what happens to Na Young/Nora (Greta Lee) for Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress. But Oscars Schmoscars! That’s not why you should see it.
