Next Door Wife

About This Movie

Next Door Wife is a somber exploration of a woman's descent into emotional turmoil. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, allowing you to sit with Soo-jeong's struggles. The atmosphere is heavy, underscored by a sense of isolation that mirrors her journey. The performances are raw, particularly the way Soo-jeong's character grapples with her reality—her cheerful demeanor cracking under pressure. There's a striking use of practical effects in some scenes that emphasize her internal conflict, making the viewer feel the weight of her situation. The film doesn’t shy away from tough themes—abuse, resilience, and identity—creating a space for reflection rather than just spectacle.
