About This Movie

Ordinary People is a quirky blend of comedy and absurdity that captures the existential dread of a regular guy. Goo Jaepil's life crumbles as his marriage hits the rocks and his boss throws him into a bizarre situation. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it matches Jaepil’s spiraling mental state quite well. The practical effects, while not central, add a layer of authenticity to the chaos he faces. Performances are solid, especially in how they depict the tension between mundane life and the absurdity that can erupt at any moment. It’s this mix of dark humor and the exploration of desperation that makes the film stand out, painting a picture of one man's struggle against an unyielding world.
