Here is My Movie Review of Menari

So basically what happens is that you have this guy named Jacob and his family and they are moving to California and they tried to start a farm to make money and then David finds out that their grandmother is coming and he is not really happy about it because he said that she's not a real grandma. But then he find out that after overhearing his mother and dad and grandmother that he's diagnosed with a heart condition So they send them to the hospital to get an ultrasound and it turns out that the hole is pretty small and it's up to them to provide for each other to Keep the farm. That is basically what the story is for this movie. The storyline in the film is actually not only incredible but But is a story that a lot of people can't wait to especially people who had to move to another state or country because It is really scary when you first move into a new house or a new city because you miss the people that you care about back in your city that you used to live in.

The acting in this movie is Is tremendous because every single actor is giving 100% into their performances I have to say the acting in this movie is probably up there with the acting in Lovers Rock as one of the best acted films of 2020. Also you can tell that all the actors were having a lot of fun at these characters they bring life and emotion into each and every single one of them.

Steven Yeun plays Jacob In the film. I have to say he does a fantastic job as the character. Now the character of Jacob is incredible because he wants to help his family provide for the farm and once everyone to work together in order to keep the farm going and he really wants to cure his son from his heart condition as well keeping his relationship with his wife together. The scene where Jacob meets his wife in the hospital is not only a really sad and tragic moment but it makes sense because he just witnessed her having a stroke in her room and he really doesn't want her to die in front of him. It is probably one of the most depressing moments of the entire film because he doesn't want his wife to die in front of him. The chemistry between him and Han Ye-ri Noel Cho, Yuh-Jung-Youn and Alan S. Kim is really tremendous

Ye-ri plays Jacob Yi's wife Monica Yi In the film. I have to say she still does a Stellar job as this character. Now the character of Monica Yi Is outstanding because you can tell that she really cares about her family and wants them to have a normal life in California by starting a farm. But at the same time you can tell she's underwater stress because they are suffering through financial problems not making enough money. The scene where she and Jacob are having this vicious argument is probably one more intense moments in the film bad at the same time this is the moment that a lot of kids can relate to if they're family are having a tough time because their parents get into an argument But they make up after a while and the reason why Monica Yi Is mad at her husband is because he's not making enough money To provide for the family. The chemistry between her and Steven Yeun Is magnificent

Noel Cho plays Anne In the film. I have to say she still does a spectacular job as the character. Now Now the character of Anne Is terrific because you can tell that she really cares for her little brother David and she wants her in the rest of the family to have a really incredible life in California and make the farm work best for them. The scene where Anne and her brother David are working with their family on the farm is such a beautiful and emotional scene because it doesn't have much dialogue and it is a beautiful moment of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Steve Yeun is really Incredible 

Youn Yuh-Jung plays of Soonja In the film. I have to say she does a magnificent job as this character. Now the character of Soonja Is terrific because she really cares about her family and she really wants to try to make David happy It wants to keep their farm together. The scene where Soonja And the rest of the family is at church and they are Meeting different families it makes sense because in real life when you move to a new place you have to meet and get to know different people who live there. It is probably one of the most beautiful scenes in the entire film. The chemistry between her and Steven Yeun, Alan S. Kim Han Ye-ri, and  Noel Cho is really awesome.

However the absolute big standout of the entire film is Alan S. Kim. as David Yi. Now the character of David is really incredible because you really feel bad for him because he had never been to a new place that being California but he has to learn how to help his family on the farm and help his family well provided So they don't have to move again. The scene where David finds out that He has heart failure not only was a really sad and heartbreaking moment but it makes sense because he didn't know that he was diagnosed with a heart condition. It has to be one of the most depressing moments of the entire film Because he overheard his other family members mention that he has a heart condition. The bonding between him and his family is the strongest aspect of the entire film because you could tell that David really cares about them. The chemistry between him and Steven Yeun, Han Ye-ri, Noel Cho, and Youn Yuh-Jung is really terrific.

However the best thing about this entire film is The directing. By Lee Isaac Chung because what I love about his directing that he know the glorious job of discussing the topic of immigration because it is a really serious topic when people have to move to different states or countries it could be really scary and it takes a long time to get used to because you really miss your friends that you spend time at the place that you used to live at and you have to make new friends. I also like how he develops David Yi and his family because David is a character that is really scared to move to California because he misses being in South Korea But then he had been tweak at yeast to it. I have to say I think he did a tremendous job directing this film.

So in conclusion i still really love this phone because the storyline revolves around David Yi and his family moving to California is a story that anyone can relate to moving to a new country or place can be really scary and can take some getting used to. Also the relationship between David Yi and his mother is the strongest aspect of the entire film. Also Alan S Kim gave one his best performance in the entire film and you can tell he had a lot of fun in the film. This movie is definitely in my top five favorite movies of 2020. Also I think this movie is up there with Mank with Gary Oldman as one of my favorite films of 2020. Also I think this film is up there with Everything Everywhere All At Once with Ke Huy Quan As one of my favorite A24 films. Also I think this is definitely in my top five favorite A24 films. Also Alan S Kim and Steven Yeun play off each other perfectly. I highly recommend you watch this film especially if you enjoy The Farewell with Awkwafina. Then I'm sure you're going to enjoy this film as well. I give this movie a 10/10.
